24LC04BHT-I/SN - Microchip Technology

The 24LC04BHT-I/SN is a high-quality EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device from Microchip Technology, designed to provide reliable data storage and retrieval in a wide range of applications. This EEPROM device offers a 4Kb (4,096 bits) memory capacity, which is organized as 512 words of 8 bits each. It is an ideal solution for advanced, sophisticated microcontroller-based systems requiring non-volatile memory to store configuration settings, calibration data, or any other critical application data that must be preserved during power loss.

The 24LC04BHT-I/SN operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it versatile for both low-power and standard operations. Its I2C-compatible serial interface ensures easy integration into most microcontroller-based systems, facilitating simple communication and data transfer between the device and the host controller. The I2C interface also supports a bus speed of 400 kHz, allowing for quick data access and programming.

This particular model is offered in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which is widely used and preferred for its compact footprint and ease of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting. The package type, combined with its industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, makes the 24LC04BHT-I/SN a robust choice for applications operating under extreme conditions.

Additionally, the device features a page write buffer of 16 bytes, which enables the writing of up to 16 bytes in a single write cycle, thus improving the efficiency of data logging operations. It also includes write protection features that prevent accidental data overwrites, ensuring the integrity of the stored data.

In summary, the 24LC04BHT-I/SN EEPROM from Microchip Technology is a reliable and versatile memory solution that provides secure data storage with easy integration, making it an excellent choice for a multitude of electronic applications requiring non-volatile memory.
