The 24LC024-I/ST is a popular IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 2-wire serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) that offers 2 Kbits of memory storage, equivalent to 256 bytes.
Key features of the 24LC024-I/ST include:
1. Memory Capacity: With a total of 2 Kbits (256 bytes) of memory storage, it provides a decent amount of non-volatile memory for various applications. Each byte can be individually read or written, making it ideal for storing small amounts of data.
2. 2-Wire Serial Interface: The IC uses a 2-wire I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface protocol. This enables easy communication with microcontrollers and other ICs using just two wires, a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL). The I2C interface is well-supported in the industry, making it widely compatible.
3. Low Power Consumption: One of the notable advantages of this IC is its low power consumption. It requires a supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-operated devices
