4. Write Operations
BYTE WRITE: A write operation requires an 8-bit data word address following the device address word and
acknowledgment. Upon receipt of this address, the EEPROM will again respond with a "0" and then clock in the
first 8-bit data word. Following receipt of the 8-bit data word, the EEPROM will output a "0" and the addressing
device, such as a microcontroller, must terminate the write sequence with a stop condition. At this time the
EEPROM enters an internally timed write cycle, tWR, to the nonvolatile memory. All inputs are disabled during
this write cycle and the EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete (see Figure 7).

Figure 7. Byte Write
PAGE WRITE: The 2K EEPROM is capable of a 8-byte page write. A page write is initiated the same as a byte
write, but the microcontroller does not send a stop condition after the first data word is clocked in. Instead, after
the EEPROM acknowledges receipt of the first data word, the microcontroller can transmit up to seven more
data words. The EEPROM will respond with a "0" after each data word received. The microcontroller must
terminate the page write sequence with a stop condition (see Figure 8).

Figure 8. Page Write
The data word address lower three bits are internally incremented following the receipt of each data word. The
higher data word address bits are not incremented, retaining the memory page row location. When the word
address, internally generated, reaches the page boundary, the following byte is placed at the beginning of the
same page. If more than eight data words are transmitted to the EEPROM, the data word address will "roll over"
and previous data will be overwritten.
ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING: Once the internally timed write cycle has started and the EEPROM inputs are
disabled, acknowledge polling can be initiated. This involves sending a start condition followed by the device
address word. The read/write bit is representative of the operation desired. Only if the internal write cycle has
completed will the EEPROM respond with a "0", allowing the read or write sequence to continue.
