2.0
The 24LC01B/02B supports a bi-directional two-wire
bus and data transmission protocol. A device that
sends data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and
a device receiving data as receiver. The bus has to be
controlled by a master device which generates the
serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and gener-
ates the START and STOP conditions, while the

The following bus protocol has been defined:

Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
3.2
A HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a START condition. All
commands must be preceded by a START condition.
3.3
A LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while the
clock (SCL) is HIGH determines a STOP condition. All
operations must be ended with a STOP condition.

24LC01B/02B works as slave. Both master and slave
can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master
device determines which mode is activated.

in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.

3.4
The state of the data line represents valid data when,
after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal.
The data on the line must be changed during the LOW
period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per
bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of
the data bytes transferred between the START and
STOP conditions is determined by the master device
and is theoretically unlimited, although only the last 16
will be stored when doing a write operation. When an
overwrite does occur, it will replace data in a first in first
out fashion.
3.5
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse which is associated with this acknowledge bit.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH
period of the acknowledge related clock pulse.
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master must signal an end of data to the
slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last
byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case,
the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable the
master to generate the STOP condition.

Acknowledge
The 24LC01B/02B does not generate any
acknowledge bits if an internal program-
ming cycle is in progress.
