MCHPAT24C08C-SSHM-T

Overview

The AT24C08C-SSHM-T is an 8Kbit I2C serial EEPROM designed for non-volatile data storage in a compact 8-SOIC package. It operates across a wide voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz, making it compatible with high-speed I2C bus environments. This memory IC is engineered for high reliability with 1,000,000 write cycle endurance and 100-year data retention.

Why Choose This Part

This device features a fast 5 ms maximum self-timed write cycle and a 16-byte page write mode to improve programming efficiency. It includes integrated Schmitt triggers and noise suppression filters on inputs to ensure reliable communication in electrically noisy environments. The hardware write-protect pin provides robust protection for the entire memory array against unauthorized write operations.

Applications

Getting Started

Interface the AT24C08C with any microcontroller using the standard I2C protocol, typically requiring two pull-up resistors on the SDA and SCL lines. For development, the memory can be easily prototyped using a standard SOIC-8 to DIP adapter or connected to an Arduino-compatible system using the Wire library. Ensure the WP pin is tied to GND for normal write operations or VCC to protect stored data.
