NRND3,586 in stock

Overview

The M24C64-WMN6P is a 64-Kbit non-volatile serial EEPROM from STMicroelectronics organized as 8192 x 8 bits. It operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports the I2C protocol with clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. This memory device is designed for reliable data retention and endurance in a standard 8-pin SOIC package.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers low power consumption with a standby current of only 3 uA and a maximum operating current of 2.5 mA at 1 MHz. Its wide 2.5V to 5.5V supply range ensures compatibility with both legacy 5V systems and modern 3.3V microcontrollers. The 1 MHz Fast-Mode Plus I2C interface provides efficient data throughput for quick parameter updates.

Applications

Parameter Storage
Storing calibration data, device configuration settings, and user preferences in embedded systems.
Event Logging
Recording error codes, usage statistics, or sensor logs that must persist through power cycles.
Firmware Metadata
Holding version information, bootloader parameters, or hardware revision data for system management.

Getting Started

Interface the EEPROM with a microcontroller via the I2C SDA and SCL lines, ensuring pull-up resistors are present. Configure the hardware address pins (E0, E1, E2) to set the device address and prevent bus conflicts. Use standard I2C libraries like Wire for Arduino or HAL for STM32 to perform page writes and random reads.

Also Consider

AT24C64D-SSHM-T Microchip (Atmel) - Offers a higher 1 MHz clock frequency compatibility and low-voltage operation down to 1.7V.
