MICROCHIP 24LC02B/SN 2Kbit I2C Serial EEPROM, SOIC8

The MICROCHIP 24LC02B/SN is a 2Kbit I2C™ serial EEPROM, engineered for low-power, high-reliability non-volatile memory storage. Organised as one block of 256 x 8-bit memory, this device features a robust 2-wire serial interface (I²C™ compatible) that simplifies integration into a wide range of digital systems.

Utilising advanced low-power CMOS technology, the IC permits operation down to 1.7V, making it ideal for battery-sensitive applications. It boasts extremely low standby and active currents of only 1μA and 1mA respectively, ensuring minimal impact on overall system power consumption.

Key Performance Features

• High-Speed Operation: Supports clock frequencies up to 400kHz, enabling fast data transfer for responsive system performance.
• Fast Write Cycles: Features a page write time of 3ms (typical) and a self-timed erase/write cycle for efficient programming.
• Enhanced Data Integrity: Includes an 8-byte page write buffer, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce.
• Exceptional Endurance & Retention: Rated for more than 1 million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years, ensuring long-term reliability for critical data.
• Robust Protection: Equipped with hardware write-protect functionality and ESD protection greater than 4000V, safeguarding the memory contents and the IC itself.

Supplied in a compact SOIC8 (8-pin) surface-mount package, this EEPROM is designed for straightforward PCB integration and is suitable for operation within a 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
