4. Acknowledge check
The I²C-bus protocol includes an acknowledge check function as a handshake function to prevent a communication
error. This function allows detection of a communication failure during data communication between the master
device and S-24C08C. This function is effective to prevent malfunction, so it is recommended to perform an
acknowledge check with the master device.
5. Built-in power-on-clear circuit
The S-24C08C has a built-in power-on-clear circuit that initializes itself at the same time during power-on.
Unsuccessful initialization may cause a malfunction. To operate the power-on-clear circuit normally, the following
conditions must be satisfied to raise the power supply voltage.
5. 1 Raising power supply voltage
Shown in Figure 24, raise the power supply voltage from 0.2 V max., within the time defined as t_RISE which is the
time required to reach the power supply voltage to be set.
For example, if the power supply voltage is 5.0 V, t_RISE = 200 ms seen in Figure 25. The power supply voltage
must be raised within 200 ms.

*1. 0 V means there is no difference in potential between the VCC pin and the GND pin of the S-24C08C.
*2. t_INIT is the time required to initialize the S-24C08C. No instructions are accepted during this time.
