The 24C65-I/P is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and is widely used in various electronic devices and systems for non-volatile data storage and retrieval. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Memory Capacity: The 24C65-I/P offers a memory capacity of 64 kilobits (8 kilobytes), which is organized into 8,192 bytes. This provides ample storage space for critical data in applications such as industrial control systems, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and more.
2. I2C Interface: The IC component utilizes the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus protocol, making it easy to interface with other devices and microcontrollers in a master-slave configuration. The I2C interface enables simple, bidirectional, and two-wire communication, allowing for straightforward integration into existing systems.
3. Low Power Consumption: The 24C65-I/P is designed to operate efficiently with low power consumption. It supports a wide operating voltage range, typically from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-powered applications where power efficiency is crucial.
4. Write Protection: To prevent accidental or unauthorized modification of stored data, the IC component provides hardware and software write protection mechanisms
