Introduces the features and characteristics of M24C16, M24C08, M24C04, M24C02, M24C01 16Kbit, 8Kbit, 4Kbit, 2Kbit and 1Kbit Serial I²C Bus EEPROM, including two-wire I²C serial interface, 400kHz protocol, single supply voltage, write control input, byte and page write (up to 16 bytes), random and sequential read modes, self-timed programming cycle, automatic address incrementing, enhanced ESD/Latch-Up protection, more than 1 million erase/write cycles, more than 40 years of data retention time
The M24C16, M24C08, M24C04, M24C02 and M24C01 are I²C‑compatible serial EEPROM devices offered in various ECOPACK® packages. They operate from a single supply voltage and support up to 400 kHz I²C bus speed. The datasheet provides detailed electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, and package mechanical data.
Key features include more than 1 million erase/write cycles, over 40 years of data retention, and multiple voltage options (2.5‑5.5 V for W‑type, 1.8‑5.5 V for R‑type). The document also outlines device internal reset behavior, signal descriptions, write and read operation sequences, and part numbering for ordering.
