DEVICE ADDRESSING

A control byte is the first byte received following the

Start condition from the master device (Figure 5-1).

The control byte consists of a four-bit control code.

For the 24LC16B, this is set as ‘1010’ binary for read

and write operations. The next three bits of the control

byte are the Block Select bits (B2, B1, B0). They are

used by the master device to select which of the eight

256 word-blocks of memory are to be accessed.

These bits are, in effect, the three Most Significant bits

(MSb) of the word address. It should be noted that the

protocol limits the size of the memory to eight blocks

of 256 words, therefore, the protocol can support only

one 24LC16B per system.

The last bit of the Control byte defines the operation to

be performed. When set to ‘1’, a read operation is

selected. When set to ‘0’, a write operation is selected.

Following the Start condition, the 24LC16B monitors

the SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being

transmitted and, upon receiving a ‘1010’ code, the

slave device outputs an Acknowledge signal on the

SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the

24LC16B will select a read or write operation.
