Overview

The M24C08-RMN6TP is an 8 Kbit serial I2C EEPROM organized as 1024 x 8 bits, designed for reliable non-volatile data storage. It operates across a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports a clock frequency of up to 400 kHz. This component is packaged in a standard 8-pin SOIC, making it a drop-in solution for many industrial and consumer applications requiring small-scale parameter storage.

Why Choose This Part

The device features an exceptionally low standby current of 1uA, making it ideal for battery-powered designs. It supports a broad 1.8V to 5.5V supply range, allowing a single part to be used across different logic level systems without additional level shifting. Its 400 kHz I2C compatibility ensures efficient data transfers with standard microcontrollers.

Applications

Configuration Storage
Storing user settings, calibration constants, and device configuration parameters that must persist through power cycles.
Event Logging
Recording system timestamps, error codes, or usage counters in low-write-frequency monitoring systems.
Identification and Security
Maintaining unique device IDs, MAC addresses, or serial numbers for hardware identification.

Getting Started

To integrate this EEPROM, connect the SDA and SCL lines to your microcontroller I2C bus with appropriate pull-up resistors (typically 4.7k ohms). The device address is configured via hardware pins, and software implementation can use standard I2C libraries such as the Arduino Wire library or STM32 HAL I2C functions. Ensure the WP (Write Control) pin is tied to ground during write operations or driven high to protect memory from accidental modification.
