Microchip 4K I2C Serial EEPROM, SOIC-8

The Microchip 4K I2C Serial EEPROM provides reliable, non-volatile memory storage organised as two blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. Designed with a 2-wire serial interface (I²C™ compatible), this Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is suitable for a wide variety of electronic applications requiring dependable data retention and efficient communication.

Engineered for low-power operation, the device features low-power CMOS technology with standby and active currents of just 1μA and 1mA respectively. It supports a single supply voltage with operation down to 2.5V, while a low-voltage design permits operation down to 1.7V. This makes it an excellent choice for power-sensitive designs.

Key Features

• 2-wire serial interface (I²C™ compatible) with 100 and 400kHz clock compatibility
• 16-byte page write buffer with a typical page write time of 3ms
• Self-timed erase/write cycle for ease of use
• Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression
• Output slope control to eliminate ground bounce
• Hardware write-protect for data security
• ESD protection greater than 4000V

Reliability and Endurance

Built for longevity, this EEPROM supports more than 1 million erase/write cycles and offers data retention exceeding 200 years. With its surface-mount SOIC-8 package and robust operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, it provides a versatile and durable memory solution for demanding environments.
