Overview

The AT24C02D-SSHM-T is a 2-Kbit industrial-grade I2C serial EEPROM organized as 256 words of 8 bits each. Optimized for low-power and low-voltage applications, it operates across a wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply range and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. This non-volatile memory solution is housed in a compact 8-lead SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained configuration storage.

Why Choose This Part

The device features extremely low power consumption with a standby current of only 0.8 uA and a read current of 0.3 mA at 1.8V. Its 1 MHz clock frequency compatibility ensures fast data access for I2C-based systems, while the 8-lead SOIC package provides a standard footprint for easy PCB integration.

Applications

Configuration Storage
Retaining system settings, calibration constants, and user preferences in embedded systems.
Device Identification
Storing serial numbers, MAC addresses, and revision data for hardware identification.
Asset Tracking
Logging usage cycles or event timestamps in low-power industrial logging devices.

Getting Started

Interface the AT24C02D to any MCU with an I2C peripheral by connecting the SDA and SCL lines with appropriate pull-up resistors. Address pins A0, A1, and A2 should be hardwired to define the device address, and the WP (Write Protect) pin can be tied to GND to allow normal write operations or to VCC to protect the entire memory.
