NM34C02

2K-Bit Standard 2-Wire Bus Interface

Designed with Permanent Write-Protection for First 128 Bytes for Serial Presence

Detect Application on Memory Modules

General Description

The NM34C02 is 2048 bits of CMOS non-volatile electrically

erasable memory. It is designed to support Serial Presence

Detect circuitry in memory modules. This communications proto-

col uses CLOCK (SCL) and DATA I/O (SDA) lines to synchro-

nously clock data between the master (for example a micropro-

cessor) and the slave EEPROM device(s).

The contents of the non-volatile memory allows the CPU to

determine the capacity of the module and the electrical character-

istics of the memory devices it contains. This will enable "plug and

play" capability as the module is read and PC main memory

resources utilized through the memory controller.

The first 128 bytes of the memory of the NM34C02 can be

permanently Write Protected by writing to the "WRITE PROTECT"

Register. Write Protect implementation details are described

under the section titled Addressing the WP Register.

The NM34C02 is available in a JEDEC standard TSSOP package

for low profile memory modules for systems requiring efficient

space utilization such as in a notebook computer. Two options are

available: L - Low Voltage and LZ - Low Power, allowing the part

to be used in systems where battery life is of primary importance.
