FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Two-Wire Serial Interface, I2CTM compatible
–Bi-directional data transfer protocol
The IS24L128 and IS24L256 are electrically erasable
PROM devices that use the standard 2-wire interface
for communications. The IS24L128 and IS24CL256
contain a memory array of 128K-bits (16K x 8) and
256K-bits (32 x 8), respectively. Each device is
organized into 64 byte pages for page write mode.
• Low Voltage and Standard Voltage Operation
–Vcc = 1.8V to 3.6V
• 400 KHz (1.8V) and 1 MHz (2.5V, 2.7V, 3.6V)
compatibility
• Low Power CMOS Technology
–Active Current less than 3 mA (3.6V)
–Stanby Current less than 3 µA (3.6V)
–Standby Current less than 1 µA (1.8V)
• Hardware Data Protection
–Write Protect Pin
This EEPROM operates in a voltage range of 1.8V to
3.6V for low voltage and standard voltage application
levels. ISSI designed this device family to be a
practical, low-power 2-wire EEPROM solution. The
devices are available in 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin (JEDEC)
SOIC, and 8-pin (EIAJ) SOIC packages.
The IS24L128/256 maintains compatibility with the
popular 2-wire bus protocol, so it is easy to design into
applications implementing this bus type. The simple
bus consists of the Serial Clock wire (SCL) and the
Serial Data wire (SDA). Using the bus, a Master device
such as a microcontroller is usually connected to one
or more Slave devices such as the IS24L128/256. The
bit stream over the SDA line includes a series of bytes,
which identifies a particular Slave device, an
instruction, an address within that Slave device, and a
series of data, if appropriate. The IS24L128/256 has a
Write Protect pin (WP) to allow blocking of any write
instruction transmitted over the bus.
