DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LCS21 is a
128 x 8-bit dual-mode Electrically Erasable PROM.
This device is designed for use in applications requiring
storage and serial transmission of configuration and
control information. Two modes of operation have been
implemented: Transmit Only Mode and bi-directional
Mode. Upon power-up, the device will be in the
Transmit Only Mode, sending a serial bit stream of the
entire memory array contents, clocked by the VCLK
pin. A valid high to low transition on the SCL pin will
cause the device to enter the bi-directional Mode, with
byte selectable read/write capability of the memory
array in standard I
2
C protocol.
The 24LCS21 also enables the user to write-protect the
entire memory contents using its write-protect pin. The
24LCS21 is available in a standard 8-pin PDIP and
SOIC package in both commercial and industrial
temperature ranges.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24LCS21 operates in two modes, the
Transmit-Only Mode and the bi-directional Mode. There
is a separate two wire protocol to support each mode,
each having a separate clock input but sharing a com-
mon data line (SDA). The device enters the Trans-
mit-Only Mode upon power-up. In this mode, the device
transmits data bits on the SDA pin in response to a
clock signal on the VCLK pin. The device will remain in
this mode until a valid high to low transition is placed on
the SCL input. When a valid transition on SCL is recog-
nized, the device will switch into the bi-directional
Mode. The only way to switch the device back to the
Transmit-Only Mode is to remove power from the
device.
2.1
Transmit-Only Mode
The device will power up in the Transmit-Only Mode at
address 00H. This mode supports a unidirectional two
wire protocol for continuous transmission of the
contents of the memory array. This device requires that
it be initialized prior to valid data being sent in the
Transmit-Only Mode (see Initialization Procedure,
below). In this mode, data is transmitted on the SDA
pin in 8-bit bytes, with each byte followed by a ninth, null
bit (Figure 2-1). The clock source for the Transmit-Only
Mode is provided on the VCLK pin, and a data bit is out-
put on the rising edge on this pin. The eight bits in each
byte are transmitted most significant bit first. Each byte
within the memory array will be output in sequence.
When the last byte in the memory array is transmitted,
the internal address pointers will wrap around to the
first memory location (00H) and continue. The bi-direc-
tional Mode Clock (SCL) pin must be held high for the
device to remain in the Transmit-Only Mode.
2.2
Initialization Procedure
After V
CC
has stabilized, the device will be in the
Transmit-Only Mode. Nine clock cycles on the VCLK
pin must be given to the device for it to perform internal
sychronization. During this period, the SDA pin will be
in a high impedance state. On the rising edge of the
tenth clock cycle, the device will output the first valid
data bit which will be the most significant bit in address
00h. (Figure 2-2).

BI-DIRECTIONAL MODE
The 24LCS21 can be switched into the bi-directional
Mode (Figure 3-1) by applying a valid high to low
transition on the bi-directional Mode Clock (SCL).
When the device has been switched into the bi-direc-
tional Mode, the VCLK input is disregarded, with the
exception that a logic high level is required to enable
write capability. This mode supports a two-wire
bi-directional data transmission protocol (I
2
C
TM
). In this
protocol, a device that sends data on the bus is defined
to be the transmitter, and a device that receives data
from the bus is defined to be the receiver. The bus must
be controlled by a master device that generates the
bi-directional Mode Clock (SCL), controls access to the
bus and generates the START and STOP conditions,
while the 24LCS21 acts as the slave. Both master and
slave can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the
master device determines which mode is activated.
In this mode, the 24LCS21 only responds to
commands for device 1010 000X.
3.1 Bi-directional Mode Bus Characteristics
The following bus protocol has been defined:
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes
in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 3-2).
3.1.1
BUS NOT BUSY (A)
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
3.1.2
START DATA TRANSFER (B)
A HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a START condition. All
commands must be preceded by a START condition.
3.1.3
STOP DATA TRANSFER (C)
A LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a STOP condition. All
operations must be ended with a STOP condition.

3.1.4
DATA VALID (D)
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the LOW
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of
the data bytes transferred between the START and
STOP conditions is determined by the master device
and is theoretically unlimited, although only the last
eight will be stored when doing a write operation. When
an overwrite does occur it will replace data in a first in
first out fashion.
3.1.5
ACKNOWLEDGE
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse which is associated with this acknowledge bit.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH
period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master must signal an end of data to the
slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last
byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this
case, the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable
the master to generate the STOP condition.
Note:
Once switched into bi-directional Mode,
the 24LCS21 will remain in that mode until
power goes away. Removing power is the
only way to reset the 24LCS21 into the
Transmit-only mode.
Note:
The 24LCS21 does not generate any
acknowledge bits if an internal
programming cycle is in progress.

3.1.6
SLAVE ADDRESS
After generating a START condition, the bus master
transmits the slave address consisting of a 7-bit device
code (1010000) for the 24LCS21.
The eighth bit of slave address determines whether the
master device wants to read or write to the 24LCS21
(Figure 3-5).
The 24LCS21 monitors the bus for its corresponding
slave address continuously. It generates an
acknowledge bit if the slave address was true and it is
not in a programming mode.
FIGURE 3-5: CONTROL BYTE ALLOCATION
4.0
WRITE OPERATION
4.1
Byte Write
Following the start signal from the master, the slave
address (4 bits), three zero bits (000) and the R/W bit
which is a logic low are placed onto the bus by the
master transmitter. This indicates to the addressed
slave receiver that a byte with a word address will follow
after it has generated an acknowledge bit during the
ninth clock cycle. Therefore, the next byte transmitted
by the master is the word address and will be written
into the address pointer of the 24LCS21. After receiv-
ing another acknowledge signal from the 24LCS21 the
master device will transmit the data word to be written
into the addressed memory location. The 24LCS21
acknowledges again and the master generates a stop
condition. This initiates the internal write cycle, and dur-
ing this time the 24LCS21 will not generate acknowl-
edge signals (Figure 4-1).
It is required that VCLK be held at a logic high level
during command and data transfer in order to program
the device. This applies to both byte write and page
write operation. Note, however, that the VCLK is
ignored during the self-timed program operation.
Changing VCLK from high to low during the self-timed
program operation will not halt programming of the
device.

Page Write
The write control byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24LCS21 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instead of generating a stop
condition the master transmits up to eight data bytes to
the 24LCS21 which are temporarily stored in the
on-chip page buffer and will be written into the memory
after the master has transmitted a stop condition. After
the receipt of each word, the three lower order address
pointer bits are internally incremented by one. The
higher order five bits of the word address remains
constant. If the master should transmit more than eight
words prior to generating the stop condition, the
address counter will roll over and the previously
received data will be overwritten. As with the byte write
operation, once the stop condition is received an
internal write cycle will begin (Figure 5-2).
It is required that VCLK be held at a logic high level
during command and data transfer in order to program
the device. This applies to both byte write and page
write operation. Note, however, that the VCLK is
ignored during the self-timed program operation.
Changing VCLK from high to low during the self-timed
program operation will not halt programming of the
device.
5.0
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Since the device will not acknowledge during a write
cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is
complete (this feature can be used to maximize bus
throughput). Once the stop condition for a write
command has been issued from the master, the device
initiates the internally timed write cycle. ACK polling
can be initiated immediately. This involves the master
sending a start condition followed by the control byte for
a write command (R/W = 0). If the device is still busy
with the write cycle, then no ACK will be returned. If the
cycle is complete, then the device will return the ACK
and the master can then proceed with the next read or
write command. See Figure 5-1 for the flow diagram.
FIGURE 5-1: ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING FLOW
Note:
Page write operations are limited to writing
bytes within a single physical page, regard-
less of the number of bytes actually being
written. Physical page boundaries start at
addresses that are integer multiples of the
page buffer size (or page size) and end at
addresses that are integer multiples of
[page size - 1]. If a page write command
attempts to write across a physical page
boundary, the result is that the data wraps
around to the beginning of the current page
(overwriting data previously stored there),
instead of being written to the next page as
might be expected. It is therefore neces-
sary for the application software to prevent
page write operations that would attempt to
cross a page boundary.

WRITE PROTECTION
When using the 24LCS21 in the bi-directional Mode,
the VCLK pin operates as the write protect control pin.
Setting VCLK high allows normal write operations,
while setting VCLK low prevents writing to any location
in the array. Connecting the VCLK pin to V
SS
would
allow the 24LCS21 to operate as a serial ROM,
although this configuration would prevent using the
device in the Transmit-Only Mode.
Additionally, Pin 3 performs a flexible write protect
function. The 24LCS21 contains a write-protection
control fuse whose factory default state is cleared.
Writing any data to address 7Fh (normally the
checksum in DDC applications) sets the fuse which
enables the WP pin. Until this fuse is set, the 24LCS21
is always write enabled (if VCLK = 1). After the fuse is
set, the write capability of the 24LCS21 is determined
by WP (Figure 6-1).
FIGURE 6-1: WRITE PROTECT TRUTH
TABLE
7.0
READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations with the exception that the R/W bit of the
slave address is set to one. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
7.1
Current Address Read
The 24LCS21 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
internally incremented by one. Therefore, if the
previous access (either a read or write operation) was
to address n, the next current address read operation
would access data from address n + 1. Upon receipt of
the slave address with R/W bit set to one, the 24LCS21
issues an acknowledge and transmits the eight bit data
word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but
does generate a stop condition and the 24LCS21
discontinues transmission (Figure 7-1).
FIGURE 7-1: CURRENT ADDRESS READ
7.2
Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, first the word address must
be set. This is done by sending the word address to the
24LCS21 as part of a write operation. After the word
address is sent, the master generates a start condition
following the acknowledge. This terminates the write
operation, but not before the internal address pointer is
set. Then the master issues the control byte again but
with the R/W bit set to a one. The 24LCS21 will then
issue an acknowledge and transmits the eight bit data
word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but
does generate a stop condition and the 24LCS21
discontinues transmission (Figure 7-2).

Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the 24LCS21 transmits
the first data byte, the master issues an acknowledge
as opposed to a stop condition in a random read. This
directs the 24LCS21 to transmit the next sequentially
addressed 8-bit word (Figure 8-1).
To provide sequential reads the 24LCS21 contains an
internal address pointer which is incremented by one at
the completion of each operation. This address pointer
allows the entire memory contents to be serially read
during one operation.
7.4
Noise Protection
The 24LCS21 employs a V
CC
threshold detector circuit
which disables the internal erase/write logic if the V
CC
is below 1.5 volts at nominal conditions.
The SDA, SCL and VCLK inputs have Schmitt trigger
and filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation even on a noisy bus.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
8.1
SDA
This pin is used to transfer addresses and data into and
out of the device, when the device is in the bi-direc-
tional Mode. In the Transmit-Only Mode, which only
allows data to be read from the device, data is also
transferred on the SDA pin. This pin is an open drain
terminal, therefore the SDA bus requires a pullup
resistor to V
CC
(typical 10 K
for 100 kHz, 2 K
for
400 kHz).
For normal data transfer in the bi-directional Mode,
SDA is allowed to change only during SCL low.
Changes during SCL high are reserved for indicating
the START and STOP conditions.
8.2
SCL
This pin is the clock input for the bi-directional Mode,
and is used to synchronize data transfer to and from the
device. It is also used as the signaling input to switch
the device from the Transmit Only Mode to the bi-direc-
tional Mode. It must remain high for the chip to continue
operation in the Transmit Only Mode.
8.3
VCLK
This pin is the clock input for the Transmit Only Mode
(DDC1). In the Transmit Only Mode, each bit is clocked
out on the rising edge of this signal. In the bi-directional
Mode, a high logic level is required on this pin to enable
write capability.
8.4
WP
This pin is used for flexible write protection of the
24LCS21. When the last memory location (7Fh) is
written with any data, this pin is enabled and
determines the write capability of the 24LCS21
(Figure 6-1).
The WP pin has an internal pull up resistor which will
allow write capability (assuming VCLK = 1) at all times
if this pin is floated.
