Microchip 24C02C-I/SN – serial EEPROM memory 2 kbit, I2C, SOIC-8

Microchip 24C02C-I/SN – 2 kbit EEPROM memory IC

The 24C02C is a serial EEPROM memory with a capacity of 2 kbit, that is 256 bytes, communicating over a two-wire I2C bus. The chip comes in a miniature SOIC-8 surface-mount package and belongs to the category of non-volatile memories, which retain stored data after power is disconnected.

What it is useful for

Such memories store small amounts of configuration data: device settings, calibration, serial numbers, counters or module identification data. They are used in motherboards, monitors, home appliances and consumer electronics, as well as in microcontroller projects. It is also a common replacement for a damaged chip when repairing electronics.

Key features

• memory organization 256 x 8 bits,
• clock frequency up to 400 kHz,
• I2C serial interface (2-wire),
• SOIC-8 package,
• moisture sensitivity level MSL 1, meaning unlimited.

Specifications

Before installation, check in the chip documentation that the address and supply voltage match your design.

This is a 24C02 EEPROM memory in the industrial version, a memory IC ideal for storing small data sets.
