Read and write over I²C

Required

Use a 3.3 V rail with 100 nF local bypassing. Tie A2 to ground. Tie WP low with power off to enable writes.

Bench checks

  • Begin at 100 kHz. At address 0x50, issue a write address phase and a one-byte memory offset. Use a repeated START and read back one byte.
  • Write one byte to a scratch address. Send STOP, poll for acknowledgement for up to 5 ms, then read it back. Split multi-byte writes at 16-byte page boundaries.

Connection scenarios

Read with write protection

Use a 3.3 V rail with 100 nF local bypassing. Tie A2 to ground. Tie WP high with power off to protect the entire array.

Bench checks

  • Begin at 100 kHz. At address 0x50, issue a write address phase and a one-byte memory offset. Use a repeated START and read back one byte.
  • On a scratch address, attempt to write a different byte and verify that the original byte is retained.
