The 24LC515-I/P is an I2C-compatible electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. It is widely used in the electronics industry for storing non-volatile data.
Key features of the 24LC515-I/P include:
1. Memory Capacity: This IC has a storage capacity of 64 kilobits (8 kilobytes). It is organized as 512 pages, with each page containing 16 bytes of data.
2. I2C Communication: The 24LC515-I/P uses the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocol for communication with the host microcontroller. It supports both standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes of I2C communication.
3. Low Power Consumption: This IC is designed to operate with low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
4. Multiple Read and Write Operations: The 24LC515-I/P supports both random read and byte/page write operations, allowing for flexible data access and manipulation.
5. Hardware Write Protection: It provides hardware write protection using the Write Protect (WP) pin. By connecting this pin to VCC or GND, you can enable or disable write access to the memory array, preventing accidental overwriting of data
