X24C02
DEVICE OPERATION
The X24C02 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol
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 X24C02 will be
considered a slave in all applications.
Figure 1. Data Validity
Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are re-
served for indicating start and stop conditions. Refer to
Figures 1 and 2.
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The X24C02 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL
lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met.
