The 24LC024T-E/MS is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 2-wire serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with a storage capacity of 2 kilobits (256 x 8-bit). This EEPROM is part of the 24LC series, which is widely used in various electronic devices for non-volatile data storage.
Key Features:
1. Storage Capacity: The 24LC024T-E/MS offers a total of 2 kilobits of storage space, divided into 256 memory locations, each capable of storing 8 bits of data. This capacity is suitable for storing small amounts of non-volatile data, such as configuration settings, calibration data, or user preferences.
2. Serial Interface: This IC component utilizes a 2-wire serial interface, commonly known as I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) or TWI (Two-Wire Interface). The I2C interface enables easy communication with microcontrollers or other host devices, requiring only two wires (SDA and SCL) for data transfer.
3. Low Power Consumption: The 24LC024T-E/MS is designed to be power-efficient, consuming very low current during active read/write operations. It also features an automatic power-down mode, reducing power consumption to minimal levels when the device is idle
