Microchip 512 kB EEPROM Serial Memory Component 8-Pin TSSOP Package I2C Interface 24LC512-E/ST

Microchip 24LC512-E/ST is a serial EEPROM memory chip designed for reliable and efficient data storage with a capacity of 512 kilobytes. It comes in a compact 8-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) optimized for surface mounting on printed circuit boards.

This memory module uses a standard I2C interface to communicate with microcontrollers and other digital systems, offering a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates over a voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, suitable for a broad spectrum of electronic applications including automotive and industrial environments.

With a data retention capability of 200 years and compliance with automotive AEC-Q100 standards, this component ensures long-term and robust performance in demanding systems. The operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C further extends its usability in harsh conditions.

Its low supply current of 5 mA during operation contributes to energy efficiency, while the maximum random access time of 900 ns guarantees swift data retrieval and writing, enhancing overall system responsiveness.

This EEPROM is organized as 64k words of 8 bits each, providing ample capacity for non-volatile memory needs in embedded systems, automotive electronics, instrumentation, and data logging equipment.

The chip's 8-pin TSSOP package measures 3.1 mm in length, 4.5 mm in width, and 1.2 mm in height, allowing for space-optimized designs. Microchip’s 24LC512-E/ST suits applications that require reliable non-volatile data storage with I2C bus interfacing.

Industries such as automotive, industrial control, and consumer electronics can benefit from this device’s high data density and durability. Explore similar EEPROM components and other semiconductor memory solutions for your next electronics project at EnvMart.
