The IC component 24FC512-I/SN is a 512 kilobit (Kb) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides non-volatile storage capacity for various applications, ensuring reliable data retention even when the power is turned off.
Key features of the 24FC512-I/SN include:
1. High Capacity: With a storage capacity of 512 Kbits (64 Kbytes), the device offers ample space for storing critical data such as configuration parameters, program code, and other non-volatile information.
2. Serial Interface: The device utilizes the popular I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface, making it easy to interface with a wide range of microcontrollers and other devices that support I2C communication.
3. Fast Operation: The 24FC512-I/SN supports a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz, allowing for speedy read and write operations, enabling quick access to data.
4. 8-byte Page Write Buffer: To facilitate efficient programming, the IC component incorporates an 8-byte page write buffer. This buffer allows the simultaneous programming of multiple bytes, reducing the overall write time.
5. Hardware Write Protection: The device includes hardware write protection pins that can be used to safeguard the data stored in the memory. These pins provide protection against accidental modifications or unauthorized access
