24AA02UID/24AA025UID
5.0 DEVICE ADDRESSING
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device. The control byte
consists of a 4-bit control code. For the 24AA02XUID,
this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read and write
operations. For the 24AA02UID the next three bits of
the control byte are “don’t cares”.
For the 24AA025UID, the next three bits of the control
byte are the Chip Select bits (A2, A1, A0). The Chip
Select bits allow the use of up to eight 24AA025UID
devices on the same bus and are used to select which
device is accessed. The Chip Select bits in the control
byte must correspond to the logic levels on the corre-
sponding A2, A1 and A0 pins for the device to respond.
These bits are in effect the three Most Significant bits of
the word address.
For the 6-pin SOT-23 package, the A2 address pin is
not available. During device addressing, the A2 Chip
Select bit should be set to ‘0’.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to ‘1’, a read operation is
selected. When set to ‘0’, a write operation is selected.
Following the Start condition, the 24AA02XUID moni-
tors the SDA bus, checking the device type identifier
being transmitted and, upon a ‘1010’ code, the slave
device outputs an Acknowledge signal on the SDA line.
Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the
24AA02XUID will select a read or write operation.

5.1 Contiguous Addressing Across
Multiple Devices
The Chip Select bits A2, A1 and A0 can be used to
expand the contiguous address space for up to 16K bits
by adding up to eight 24AA025UID devices on the
same bus. In this case, software can use A0 of the con-
trol byte as address bit A8, A1 as address bit A9 and
A2 as address bit A10. It is not possible to sequentially
read across device boundaries.
For the SOT-23 package, up to four 24AA025UID
devices can be added for up to 8K bits of address
space. In this case, software can use A0 of the control
byte as address bit A8, and A1 as address bit A9. It is
not possible to sequentially read across device
boundaries.
