The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop
condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal
program/erase cycle. During the write cycle, the bus
interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to
remain high, and the device does not respond to its
slave address.

CAT24WC66
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC66 supports the I
2
C Bus data transmission
protocol. This Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus protocol defines
any device that sends data to the bus to be a transmitter
and any device receiving data to be a receiver. The
transfer is controlled by the Master device which
generates the serial clock and all START and STOP
conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC66 operates as
a Slave device. Both the Master device and Slave device
can operate as either transmitter or receiver, but the
Master device controls which mode is activated.
pin is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed
with other open drain or open collector outputs.
A0, A1, A2:
Device Address Inputs
These pins are hardwired or left unconnected (for
hardware compatibility with CAT24WC16). When
hardwired, up to eight CAT24WC66 devices may be
addressed on a single bus system (refer to Device
Addressing). When the pins are left unconnected, the
default values are zeros.
WP:
Write Protect
This input, when tied to GND, allows write operations
to the entire memory. When this pin is tied to V
CC
, the
top 1/4 array of memory is write protected. When left
floating, memory is unprotected.
PIN DESCRIPTION
SCL:
Serial Clock
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into
or out of the device.

Serial Data/Address
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA

C BUS PROTOCOL
The features of the I
2
C bus protocol are defined as
follows:
(1) Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
(2) During a data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is high. Any
changes in the data line while the clock line is
high will be interpreted as a START or STOP
condition.
START Condition
The START Condition precedes all commands to the
device, and is defined as a HIGH to LOW transition of
SDA when SCL is HIGH. The CAT24WC66 monitors
the SDA and SCL lines and will not respond until this
condition is met.
STOP Condition
A LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH
determines the STOP condition. All operations must
end with a STOP condition.
whether a Read or Write operation is to be performed.
When this bit is set to 1, a Read operation is selected,
and when set to 0, a Write operation is selected.
After the Master sends a START condition and the
slave address byte, the CAT24WC66 monitors the
bus and responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA
line) when its address matches the transmitted slave
address. The CAT24WC66 then performs a Read or
¯¯
Write operation depending on the state of the R/W bit.
Acknowledge
After a successful data transfer, each receiving device
is required to generate an acknowledge. The
Acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line during
the ninth clock cycle, signaling that it received the 8
bits of data.
The CAT24WC66 responds with an acknowledge
after receiving a START condition and its slave
address. If the device has been selected along with a
write operation, it responds with an acknowledge after
receiving each 8-bit byte.
When the CAT24WC66 begins a READ mode it
transmits 8 bits of data, releases the SDA line, and
monitors the line for an acknowledge. Once it receives
this acknowledge, the CAT24WC66 will continue to
transmit data. If no acknowledge is sent by the
Master, the device terminates data transmission and
waits for a STOP condition. The master must then
issue a stop condition to return the CAT24WC66 to
the standby power mode and place the device in a
known state.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The bus Master begins a transmission by sending a
START condition. The Master sends the address of
the particular slave device it is requesting. The four
most significant bits of the 8-bit slave address are
fixed as 1010 (Fig. 5). The next three bits (A2, A1,
A0) are the device address bits; up to eight 64K
devices may to be connected to the same bus. These
bits must compare to the hardwired input pins, A2, A1
and A0. The last bit of the slave address specifies
