SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M34F04 is an electrically erasable
programmable memory (EEPROM), organized as
512 x 8.
Figure 2. Logic Diagram
These devices are compatible with the I
2
C memo-
ry protocol. This is a two wire serial interface that
uses a bi-directional data bus and serial clock. The
devices carry a built-in 4-bit Device Type Identifier
code (1010) in accordance with the I
2
C bus defini-
tion.
The device behaves as a slave in the I
2
C protocol,
with all memory operations synchronized by the
serial clock. Read and Write operations are initiat-
ed by a Start condition, generated by the bus mas-
ter. The Start condition is followed by a Device
Select Code and RW bit (as described in Table 2),
terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the device in-
serts an acknowledge bit during the 9
th
bit time,
following the bus master's 8-bit transmission.
When data is read by the bus master, the bus
master acknowledges the receipt of the data byte
in the same way. Data transfers are terminated by
a Stop condition after an Ack for Write, and after a
NoAck for Read.
Table 1. Signal Names
Power On Reset: V
CC
Lock-Out Write Protect
In order to prevent data corruption and inadvertent
Write operations during Power-up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit is included. The internal reset
is held active until V
CC
has reached the POR
threshold value, and all operations are disabled
the device will not respond to any command. In the
same way, when V
CC
drops from the operating
voltage, below the POR threshold value, all oper-
ations are disabled and the device will not respond
to any command. A stable and valid V
CC
must be
applied before applying any logic signal.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Clock (SCL). This input signal is used to
strobe all data in and out of the device. In applica-
tions where this signal is used by slave devices to
synchronize the bus to a slower clock, the bus
master must have an open drain output, and a
pull-up resistor can be connected from Serial
Clock (SCL) to V
CC
. (Figure 4 indicates how the
value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated). In
most applications, though, this method of synchro-
nization is not employed, and so the pull-up resis-
tor is not necessary, provided that the bus master
has a push-pull (rather than open drain) output.
Serial Data (SDA). This bi-directional signal is
used to transfer data in or out of the device. It is an
open drain output that may be wire-OR'ed with
other open drain or open collector signals on the
bus. A pull up resistor must be connected from Se-
rial Data (SDA) to V
CC
. (Figure 4 indicates how the
value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
Chip Enable (E1, E2). These input signals are
used to set the value that is to be looked for on the
three least significant bits (b3, b2) of the 7-bit De-
vice Select Code. These inputs must be tied to
V
CC
or V
SS
, to establish the Device Select Code.
Write Control (WC). This input signal is useful
for protecting half of the memory from inadvertent
write operations. Write operations are disabled to
the upper half (1FFh to 100h) of the memory array
when Write Control (WC) is driven High. When un-
connected, the signal is internally read as V
IL
, and
Write operations are allowed.
When attempting to write in the upper half of the
memory, while Write Control (WC) is being driven
High, Device Select and Address bytes are ac-
knowledged, Data bytes are not acknowledged.
