The 24LC1025-I/SM is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 1 Mb (megabit) I2C serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device. Here are some key features of this component:
1. Memory capacity: The 24LC1025-I/SM offers a memory capacity of 1 Mb, equivalent to 128 KB (kilobytes). This allows for storing a significant amount of data, making it suitable for various applications.
2. I2C interface: It utilizes the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface protocol, which is a widely used serial communication bus for connecting components on a circuit board. The I2C protocol enables simple communication with other devices using only two wires.
3. Organization: The memory space is organized into multiple pages, offering flexible read and write operations. The device has 128 equally sized pages, each containing 256 bytes of memory.
4. Low power consumption: The 24LC1025-I/SM operates on ultra-low power, making it ideal for power-sensitive applications. It features a standby current of only 100 nA and an active current of 3 mA, enabling energy-efficient operation.
5. Write protection: This IC component provides hardware write protection, allowing users to limit or prevent writing to certain areas of the memory
