DEVICE ADDRESSING

Following a start condition the master must output the

address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant

four bits of the slave address are the device type

identifier (see Figure 4). For the X24012 this is fixed as

1010[B].

Following the start condition, the X24012 monitors the SDA

bus comparing the slave address being transmit-

outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. Depending on the

state of the R/W bit, the X24012 will execute a read

or write operation.

WRITE OPERATIONS

Byte Write

For a write operation, the X24012 requires a second

address field. This address field is the word address,

comprised of eight bits, providing access to any one of the

128 words of memory. Note: the most significant bit

is a don’t care. Upon receipt of the word address the

X24012 responds with an acknowledge, and awaits the

next eight bits of data, again responding with an ac-

knowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by

generating a stop condition, at which time the X24012 begins

the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory.

While the internal write cycle is in progress the X24012

inputs are disabled, and the device will not respond to

any requests from the master. Refer to Figure 5 for the

address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

Figure 4. Slave Address

The next three significant bits address a particular device.

A system could have up to eight X24012 devices

on the bus (see Figure 10). The eight addresses are defined

The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be

performed. When set to one a read operation is

selected, when set to zero a write operation is selected.
