The 24C02A-E/J is an IC component belonging to the 24C family of serial EEPROMs (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is widely used for non-volatile data storage applications in various electronic devices. Below are the key features and an overview of the 24C02A-E/J:
1. Memory Capacity: The 24C02A-E/J offers a memory capacity of 2 kilobits (256 bytes) organized into 32 pages, with each page consisting of 8 bytes. This allows for storing a moderate amount of data.
2. Interface: It utilizes the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface, which allows for simple and efficient communication between the IC and the microcontroller or host system. The I2C interface simplifies the integration process and supports multi-master and multi-slave configurations.
3. Low Voltage Operation: The IC operates within a voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of power supply voltages commonly used in electronic devices. This feature ensures versatility and flexibility in different application scenarios.
4. Write Protection: The 24C02A-E/J supports hardware-based write protection mechanisms to prevent accidental or unauthorized modification of the stored data. It offers a dedicated Write Protect (WP) pin, which, when pulled low, disables write operations on the memory
