PinSignalDirectionFunction
1SCL InputInput Serial clock from the host. On an open-drain bus, provide a pull-up to the bus rail.
2VSS ReferenceReference Supply return and signal reference. Connect to the host ground.
3SDA Open-drain I/OOpen-drain I/O Serial address and data. Pull up to the bus rail and let the host and EEPROM drive only LOW.
4VCC SupplySupply Regulated 2.5–5.5 V supply. Bypass locally to VSS.
5WP InputInput Tie to VCC to protect the entire array or to VSS to enable writes. Reads are available in both states.

Signal assignments

I²C bus

Use 7-bit address 0x50. The SOT-23-5 version has no external chip-select pins, so the three select bits must be zero.

Send two memory-address bytes, high byte first. The usable offset ends at 0x0FFF.

Write protection

Tie to VCC to protect the entire array or to VSS to enable writes. Reads are available in both states.
