STMicroelectronics M24C02-WDS6TG EEPROM

The M24C02-WDS6TG is a high-performance 2-Kbit serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) from STMicroelectronics, a leader in the semiconductor industry. This product is part of the M24C series, which is known for its robustness, reliability, and ease of integration into various electronic systems. The M24C02-WDS6TG is designed to add flexible, non-volatile data storage to your electronics projects and commercial products.

With a storage capacity of 2 Kbits, the M24C02-WDS6TG is organized as 256 x 8 bits, which is ideal for storing configuration settings, calibration data, or small amounts of information that must be preserved between power cycles. This device operates with a supply voltage range of 2.5 to 5.5 volts, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontroller-based systems and other digital circuits.

The M24C02-WDS6TG features a standard I2C serial interface, enabling easy integration into existing designs with minimal additional components. The I2C interface supports up to 400 kHz (Fast-mode) data transfer rates, allowing for quick data access and programming. This interface is also designed to be backward compatible with lower speed I2C devices, providing flexibility in mixed-speed I2C networks.

One of the key advantages of the M24C02-WDS6TG is its write control mechanism, which includes both byte and page write (up to 16 bytes) capabilities. This feature allows for efficient use of the EEPROM, as multiple bytes can be written in a single operation, reducing overall write time and power consumption. Additionally, the device offers a write cycle time of 5 ms, ensuring rapid data storage.

The M24C02-WDS6TG is also known for its data retention, with a specification of over 40 years at 85°C, and endurance of one million write cycles, making it a reliable choice for applications where data integrity over time is crucial. The device is available in a compact SO-8 package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications.

STMicroelectronics provides full support for the M24C02-WDS6TG with datasheets, technical documentation, and application notes to facilitate its integration into your design. Whether you're developing consumer electronics, automotive systems, or industrial controls, the M24C02-WDS6TG offers a dependable and flexible solution for your non-volatile memory needs.
