Note:
c (1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) tPUR and tPUW are the delays required from the time VCC is stable until the specified operation can be initiated.
is 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
Daddress.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CAT24WC129 supports the I2C Bus data transmis-
sion 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 re-
ceiver. The transfer is controlled by the Master device
which generates the serial clock and all START and
STOP conditions for bus access. The CAT24WC129
operates as a Slave device. Both the Master device and
Slave device can operate as either transmitter or re-
ceiver, but the Master device controls which mode is
activated.
