The 24AA512-I/SM is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 512 kilobit (64 kilobyte) EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device that offers a range of features for data storage and retrieval. Here is an overview highlighting some of its key features:
1. Memory Capacity: The IC component has a total memory capacity of 64 kilobytes, organized into 8,192 pages with 8 bytes each. This provides ample storage space for various data storage applications.
2. I2C Interface: The 24AA512-I/SM utilizes the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface protocol, which allows for easy and efficient communication with external microcontrollers and other I2C compatible devices. It supports both standard (up to 100 kHz) and fast (up to 400 kHz) modes of operation.
3. Low Power Consumption: The IC component features low standby and operating currents, making it suitable for low-power applications. It consumes very little power during write, read, or standby operations, conserving energy and prolonging battery life.
4. Write Protection: The 24AA512-I/SM includes built-in write protection mechanisms to prevent accidental modification of stored data. It supports software write protection for individual pages or the entire memory array, guaranteeing data integrity and security
