3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 24AA024H/24LC024H supports a bidirectional,
2-wire bus and data transmission protocol. A device
that sends data onto the bus is defined as transmitter,
and a device receiving data as receiver. The bus has
to be controlled by a master device that generates the
Serial Clock (SCL), controls the bus access and
generates the Start and Stop conditions while the
24AA024H/24LC024H works as slave. Both master
and slave can operate as transmitter or receiver, but
the master device determines which mode is
activated.
