The AT24C02A-10PC is a 2-wire serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) IC (Integrated Circuit) component. It is commonly used in various electronic devices and systems for storing small amounts of non-volatile data. Here is an overview and key features of the AT24C02A-10PC:
1. Capacity: The AT24C02A-10PC chip has a storage capacity of 2 kilobits (256 bytes) of data.
2. Communication Interface: It utilizes a 2-wire, I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) compatible serial interface for easy integration with other microcontrollers and devices.
3. High Speed: The IC supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz, enabling fast read and write operations.
4. Organization: The memory is organized into 32 pages, with each page containing 8 bytes. This organization allows for efficient random addressing and selective page erasing.
5. Low Power Consumption: The AT24C02A-10PC operates at low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It draws minimal current during standby and sleep modes.
6. Write Protection: It provides built-in hardware and software write protection mechanisms to prevent accidental data corruption or overwriting
