Description
The AT24C512 provides 524,288 bits of serial electrically erasable and programmable
read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 65,536 words of 8 bits each. The device’s
cascadable feature allows up to four devices to share a common two-wire bus. The
device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications where low-
power and low-voltage operation are essential. The devices are available in space-
saving 8-pin PDIP, 8-lead EIAJ SOIC, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC, 8-lead TSSOP, 8-lead
Leadless Array (LAP), and 8-lead SAP packages. In addition, the entire family is avail-
able in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V) and 1.8V (1.8V to 3.6V) versions.

Pin Description
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.
SERIAL DATA (SDA):
The SDA pin is bidirectional 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.
DEVICE/ADDRESSES (A1, A0):
The A1 and A0 pins are device address inputs that are
hardwired or left not connected for hardware compatibility with other AT24Cxx devices.
When the pins are hardwired, as many as four 512K devices may be addressed on a
single bus system (device addressing is discussed in detail under the
Device Address-
ing section.
If the pins are left floating, the A1 and A0 pins will be internally pulled down
to GND if the capacitive coupling to the circuit board V
CC
plane is <3 pF. If coupling is
>3 pF, Atmel recommends connecting the address pins to GND.
WRITE PROTECT (WP):
The write protect input, when connected to GND, allows nor-
mal write operations. When WP is connected high to V
CC
, all write operations to the
memory are inhibited. If the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be internally pulled down
to GND if the capacitive coupling to the circuit board V
CC
plane is <3 pF. If coupling is
>3 pF, Atmel recommends connecting the pin to GND. Switching WP to V
CC
prior to a
write operation creates a software write protect function.
Memory Organization
AT24C512, 512K SERIAL EEPROM:
The 512K is internally organized as 512 pages of
128-bytes each. Random word addressing requires a 16-bit data word address.
