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
microprocessor and E²PROM. This function is effective to prevent malfunction, so it is recommended to perform an
acknowledge check on the microprocessor side.
5. Built-in power-on-clear circuit
E²PROMs have a built-in power-on-clear circuit that initializes the E²PROM. Unsuccessful initialization may cause a
malfunction. For the power-on-clear circuit to operate normally, the following conditions must be satisfied for raising
the power supply voltage.
5. 1 Raising power supply voltage
Raise the power supply voltage, starting at 0.2 V maximum, so that the voltage reaches the power supply voltage to
be used within the time defined by t_RISE as shown in Figure 28.
For example, when the power supply voltage to be used is 5.0 V, t_RISE is 200 ms as shown in Figure 29. The power
supply voltage must be raised within 200 ms.

*1. 0 V means there is no difference in potential between the V_CC pin and the GND pin of the E²PROM.
*2. t_INIT is the time required to initialize the E²PROM. No instructions are accepted during this time.
