General Description
The SA24C1024 is a 1024Kbit CMOS non-
volatile serial EEPROM organized as 128K
x 8 bit memory. This device conforms to
Extended IIC 2-wire protocol, which
enables accessing of memory in excess of
16 Kbits on an IIC bus. This serial
communication protocol uses a Clock
signal (SCL) and a Data signal (SDA) to
synchronously clock data between a
Master (for example, a microcontroller) and
a Slave (EEPROM).
The SA24C1024 offers hardware write
protection whereby the entire memory
array can be write-protected by pulling the
WP pin to logic HIGH. The entire memory
then becomes unalterable until the WP pin
is switched to logic LOW. The device also
features programmable write protect with
options of full, half or a quadrant of the
array.
The LZ version of the SA24C1024 offers
very low standby current, which makes it
suitable for low power applications. The
SA24C1024 is designed to minimize pin
count and simplify PC board layout
requirements. This device is offered in both
SO and DIP packages. A leadless
microleadframe package and CSP are
under development.
Saifun’s EEPROMs are designed and
tested for applications requiring high
endurance, high reliability and low power
consumption.

Note:
No A2 or A0 pins (Pins 2 and 3) are provided, and are instead treated as Not

command code should have its corresponding A2 bit set to 0 as well. The
command code should also have its corresponding A0 bit set to add16 (MSB
address bit).

Background Information
(IIC Bus)
Extended IIC specification is an extension
of the Standard IIC specification, which
enables addressing of EEPROMs with
more than 15 Kbits of memory on an IIC
bus. The difference between the two
specifications is that the Extended IIC
specification defines two bytes of Array
Address information, while the Standard
IIC specification defines only one. All other
aspects are identical between the two
specifications. Using two bytes of the array
address, one Device/Page Block selection
