The NM24C04EN is an IC (integrated circuit) component that belongs to the family of EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). It is a small-sized, low-power, and non-volatile memory device with a capacity of 4 kilobits (4 Kbit). Below are the key features of the NM24C04EN:
1. Organization: The NM24C04EN is organized into 512 bytes of 8 bits each, making a total of 4 kilobits (4,096 bits) of memory.
2. Serial Interface: It utilizes a popular I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface, enabling easy communication with microcontrollers and other I2C-compatible devices. This interface uses a two-wire bus, consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL).
3. Memory Protection: The NM24C04EN features a write protection mechanism that allows the user to protect specific memory areas from accidental or unauthorized write operations. This protection can be controlled using the write protection pin (WP) or by changing the status of specific memory locations during programming.
4. Low Power Consumption: It is designed to operate on low power. By default, the NM24C04EN employs a standby current of a few microamps, making it suitable for power-constrained applications and battery-powered devices
