DESCRIPTION
2
The X24165 is a CMOS 16,384 bit serial E PROM,
internally organized 2048 x 8. The X24165 features a
serial interface and software protocol allowing operation on a
simple two wire bus.
Three device select inputs (S
0
, S
1
, S
2
) allow up to eight
devices to share a common two wire bus.
A Write Protect Register at the highest address location,
7FFh, provides three new write protection
features: Software Write Protect, Block Write Protect, and
Hardware Write Protect. The Software Write
Protect feature prevents any nonvolatile writes to the X24165
until the WEL bit in the write protect register is
set. The Block Write Protection feature allows the user to
individually write protect four blocks of the array by
programming two bits in the write protect register. The
Programmable Hardware Write Protect feature allows
the user to install the X24165 with WP tied to V
CC
,
program the entire memory array in place, and then
enable the hardware write protection by programming a
WPEN bit in the write protect register. After this,
selected blocks of the array, including the write protect
register itself, are permanently write protected.
Xicor E PROMs are designed and tested for applications
requiring extended endurance. Inherent data

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of the
device.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and
out of the device. It is an open drain output and
may be wire-ORed with any number of open drain or open
collector outputs.
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up
resistor. For selecting typical values, refer to the Pull-
Up Resistor selection graph at the end of this data
sheet.

)
The device select inputs (S

,S

,S

) are used to set the
first three bits of the 8-bit slave address. This
allows up to eight X24165’s to share a common bus.
These inputs can be static or actively driven. If used
statically they must be tied to V

or V

as appropriate.
If actively driven, they must be driven with
CMOS levels (driven to V

or V

).
Write Protect (WP)
The write protect input controls the hardware write
protect feature. When held LOW, hardware write
protection is disabled and the X24165 can be written
normally. When this input is held HIGH, and the WPEN

DEVICE OPERATION
The X24165 supports a bidirectional bus oriented pro-
tocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device as
the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a
master and the device being controlled is the slave. The
master will always initiate data transfers, and provide
the clock for both transmit and receive operations.
Therefore, the X24165 will be considered a slave in all
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. Refer to
Figures 1 and 2.
Start Condition
All command are preceded by the start condition, which
is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The X24165 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL
lines for the start condition and will not respond to
applications.

Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA
The X24165 will respond with an acknowledge after
recognition of a start condition and its slave address. If both
the device and a write operation have been selected,
the X24165 will respond with an acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight-bit word.
when SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used to
place the device into the standby power mode after a
read sequence. A stop condition can only be issued
after the transmitting device has released the bus.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, will release the bus after trans-
mitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle the
receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge
that it received the eight bits of data. Refer to Figure 3.
In the read mode the X24165 will transmit eight bits of
data, release the SDA line and monitor the line for an
acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop
condition is generated by the master, the X24165 will
continue to transmit data. If an acknowledge is not
detected, the X24165 will terminate further data trans
-missions.
The master must then issue a stop condition to return the
X24165 to the standby power mode and place the device into
a known state.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
Following a start condition the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing (see Figure 4). The
next three bits are the device select bits. A system could
have up to eight X24165’s on the bus. The eight
addresses are defined by the state of the S
0
, S
1
and S
2
inputs. S
1
of the slave address must be the inverse
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be
performed. When set HIGH a read operation is
selected, when set LOW a write operation is selected.
Following the start condition, the X24165 monitors the SDA
bus comparing the slave address being transmitted
of the S
1
input pin.

with its slave address device type identifier. Upon a
correct compare the X24165 outputs an acknowledge on
the SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the
X24165 will execute a read or write operation.

For a write operation, the X24165 requires a second ad-
dress field. This address field is the word address, com-
prised of eight bits, providing access to any one of 2048
words in the array. Upon receipt of the word address, the
X24165 responds with an acknowledge and awaits the
next eight bits of data, again responding with an acknowledge
6551 ILL F07.2
The next three bits of the slave address are an extension
of the array’s address and are concatenated with
the eight bits of address in the word address field,
providing direct access to the whole 2048 x 8 array.
The master then terminates the transfer by generating a
stop condition, at which time the X24165 begins
the internal write cycle to the nonvolatile memory. While
the internal write cycle is in progress the X24165 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.
