1. 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/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0): The A2, A1, and A0 pins are device address inputs
that are hardwired (directly to GND or to Vcc) for compatibility with other AT24Cxx devices.
When the pins are hardwired, as many as eight 512K devices may be addressed on a single bus
system. (Device addressing is discussed in detail under Device Addressing, page 8.) A device
is selected when a corresponding hardware and software match is true. If these pins are left
floating, the A2, A1, and A0 pins will be internally pulled down to GND. However, due to capaci-
tive coupling that may appear during customer applications, Atmel recommends always
connecting the address pins to a known state. When using a pull-up resistor, Atmel recommends
using 10k or less.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The write protect input, when connected to GND, allows normal write
operations. When WP is connected directly to Vcc, all write operations to the memory are inhib-
ited. If the pin is left floating, the WP pin will be internally pulled down to GND. However, due to
capacitive coupling that may appear during customer applications, Atmel recommends always
connecting the WP pins to a known state. When using a pull-up resistor, Atmel recommends
using 10k or less.

2. Memory Organization
AT24C512B, 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.

3. 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 3-4 on page 8).
Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as defined below.
START CONDITION: A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which
must precede any other command (see Figure 3-5 on page 8).
STOP CONDITION: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. After a
read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (see Fig-
ure 3-5 on page 8).
ACKNOWLEDGE: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the
EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero during the ninth clock cycle to acknowl-
edge that it has received each word.
STANDBY MODE: The AT24C512B features a low power standby mode which is enabled: a)
upon power-up and b) after the receipt of the STOP bit and the completion of any internal
operations.
Software Reset: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, any 2-wire
part can be protocol reset by following these steps: (a) Create a start bit condition, (b)
clock 9 cycles, (c) create another start bit followed by stop bit condition as shown below.
The device is ready for next communication after above steps have been completed.

4. Device Addressing
The 512K EEPROM requires an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to enable
the chip for a read or write operation (see Figure 6-1 on page 10). The device address word con-
sists of a mandatory 1, 0 sequence for the first four most significant bits as shown. This is
common to all two-wire EEPROM devices.
The 512K uses the three device address bits A2, A1, A0 to allow as many as eight devices on
the same bus. These bits must compare to their corresponding hardwired input pins. The A2, A1
and A0 pins use an internal proprietary circuit that biases them to a logic low condition if the pins
are allowed to float.
The eighth bit of the device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation is ini-
tiated if this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.
Upon a compare of the device address, the EEPROM will output a 0. If a compare is not made,
the device will return to a standby state.
DATA SECURITY: The AT24C512B has a hardware data protection scheme that allows the user
to Write Protect the whole memory when the WP pin is at VCC.
5. Write Operations
BYTE WRITE: A write operation requires two 8-bit data word addresses following the device
address word and acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will again
respond with a 0 and then clock in the first 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8-bit data
word, the EEPROM will output a 0. The addressing device, such as a microcontroller, then
must terminate the write sequence with a stop condition. At this time the EEPROM enters an
internally-timed write cycle, tWR, to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during this
write cycle and the EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete (see Figure 6-2 on page
10).
PAGE WRITE: The 512K EEPROM is capable of 128-byte page writes.
A page write is initiated the same way as a byte write, but the microcontroller does not send a
stop condition after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after the EEPROM acknowledges
receipt of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to 127 more data words. The
EEPROM will respond with a 0 after each data word received. The microcontroller must termi-
nate the page write sequence with a stop condition (see Figure 6-3 on page 11).
The data word address lower 7 bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data
word. The higher data word address bits are not incremented, retaining the memory page row
location. When the word address, internally generated, reaches the page boundary, the follow-
ing byte is placed at the beginning of the same page. If more than 128 data words are
transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will roll over and previous data will be
overwritten. The address roll over during write is from the last byte of the current page to the first
byte of the same page.
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING: Once the internally-timed write cycle has started and the
EEPROM inputs are disabled, acknowledge polling can be initiated. This involves sending a
start condition followed by the device address word. The Read/Write bit is representative of the
operation desired. Only if the internal write cycle has completed will the EEPROM respond with
a 0, allowing the read or write sequence to continue.

5297ASEEPR1/08
6. Read Operations
Read operations are initiated the same way as write operations with the exception that the
Read/Write select bit in the device address word is set to 1. There are three read operations:
current address read, random address read and sequential read.
CURRENT ADDRESS READ: The internal data word address counter maintains the last
address accessed during the last read or write operation, incremented by 1. This address stays
valid between operations as long as the chip power is maintained. The address roll over during
read is from the last byte of the last memory page, to the first byte of the first page.
Once the device address with the Read/Write select bit set to 1 is clocked in and acknowl-
edged by the EEPROM, the current address data word is serially clocked out. The
microcontroller does not respond with an input 0 but does generate a following stop condition
(see Figure 6-4 on page 11).
RANDOM READ: A random read requires a dummy byte write sequence to load in the data
word address. Once the device address word and data word address are clocked in and
acknowledged by the EEPROM, the microcontroller must generate another start condition. The
microcontroller now initiates a current address read by sending a device address with the
Read/Write select bit high. The EEPROM acknowledges the device address and serially clocks
out the data word. The microcontroller does not respond with a 0 but does generate a following
stop condition (see Figure 6-5 on page 11).
SEQUENTIAL READ: Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a ran-
dom address read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with an
acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge, it will continue to increment
the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the memory address
limit is reached, the data word address will roll over and the sequential read will continue. The
sequential read operation is terminated when the microcontroller does not respond with a 0 but
does generate a following stop condition (see Figure 6-6 on page 11).
