MEMORY EEPROM
8k BITS (1024X8) TWO-WIRE SERIAL
DETAILED INFORMATION
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2): The A2 pin is device address input that is hard wire for the A24C08. Only
two 8k 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 A24C08 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.
