Pin Descriptions

Device/Page Addresses (A2, A1 and A0):

The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that are hard wire for the ACE24LA02.04.08.16A Eight

2K/4K/8K/16K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (device addressing is discussed in

detail under the Device Addressing section).

Serial Data (SDA):

The SDA pin is bi-directional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed

with any number of other open-drain or open- collector devices.

Serial Clock (SCL):

The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each EEPROM device and negative edge clock

data out of each device.

Write Protect (WP):

The ACE24LA02.04.08.16A has a Write Protect pin that provides hardware data protection.

The Write Protect pin allows normal read/write operations when connected to ground (GND). When the

Write Protection pin is connected to Vcc, the write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in

the following Table 1.

Memory Organization

ACE24LA02A, 2K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 16 pages of 16 bytes each, the 2K

requires an 8- bit data word address for random word addressing.

ACE24LA04A, 4K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 32 pages of 16 bytes each, the 4K

requires a 9- bit data word address for random word addressing.

ACE24LA08A, 8K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 64 pages of 16 bytes each, the 8K

requires a 10- bit data word address for random word addressing.

ACE24LA16A, 16K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 128 pages of 16 bytes each, the 16K

requires an 11-bit data word address for random word addressing.

Device Operation

Clock and Data Transitions:

The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device. Data on the SDA pin may change only during

SCL low time periods (see Figure 1). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop

condition as defined below.
