Microchip 256 kB Serial EEPROM 400 kHz 8-Pin SOIJ Serial-I2C 24LC256-I/SM

Microchip 24LC256-I/SM is a high-reliability 256 kB Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) designed for advanced memory storage applications. The device features a 900 ns maximum random access time and an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIJ) package, optimized for surface mount technology.

This Serial EEPROM uses the I2C bus interface, supporting clock frequencies up to 400 kHz, enabling reliable communication in embedded systems and electronic designs. With a memory structure organized as 32K x 8 bits, it meets the demands for extensive data storage in compact footprints.

The operating voltage is flexible, ranging from 2.5 V minimum to 5.5 V maximum, making it suitable for diverse power environments. The product's operating temperature range extends from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring robust performance for automotive and industrial applications, compliant with the AEC-Q100 automotive standard.

The device offers a very long data retention of 200 years, making it ideal for long-term data storage applications. The low supply current of 3 mA helps reduce power consumption in battery-operated or energy-sensitive systems.

Its compact physical dimensions - 5.28 mm in length and 7.94 mm in width - and 8-pin SOIJ packaging facilitate efficient PCB space utilization in dense electronic assemblies. 256 kB memory size organized as 32K x 8 bits.
