Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LC21 is a 128 x 8 bit
Electrically Erasable PROM. This device is designed
for use in applications requiring storage and serial
transmission of configuration and control information.
Two modes of operation have been implemented:
Transmit-only mode and Bidirectional mode. Upon
power-up, the device will be in the Transmit-only mode,
sending a serial bit stream of the entire memory array
contents, clocked by the VCLK pin. A valid high-to-low
transition on the SCL pin will cause the device to enter
the Bidirectional mode, with byte selectable read/write
capability of the memory array. The 24LC21 is available
in a standard 8-pin PDIP and SOIC package, in both
commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
