24AA02E48 Datasheet, PDF (5/18 Pages) Microchip Technology – 2K I2C™ Serial EEPROM with EUI-48™ Node Identity

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24AA02E48 supports a bidirectional, 2-wire bus
and data transmission protocol. A device that sends
data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, while a
device receiving data is defined as a receiver. The bus
has to be controlled by a master device which gener-
ates the Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access
and generates the Start and Stop conditions, while the
24AA02E48 works as slave. Both master and slave can
operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.
Note:
This data sheet documents only the
device’s features and specifications that
are in addition to the features and specifi-
cations of the 24AA02 device. For infor-
mation on the features and specifications
shared by the 24AA02E48 and 24AA02
devices, see the “24AA02 Data Sheet”
(DS21709).
