The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LC32 is a 4K x 8
(32K bit) Serial Electrically Erasable PROM capable of
operation across a broad voltage range (2.5V to 6.0V).
This device has been developed for advanced, low
power applications such as personal communications
or data acquisition. The 24LC32 features an input
cache for fast write loads with a capacity of eight 8-byte
pages, or 64 bytes. It also features a fixed 4K-bit block
of ultra-high endurance memory for data that changes
frequently. The 24LC32 is capable of both random and
sequential reads up to the 32K boundary. Functional
address lines allow up to eight 24LC32 devices on the
same bus, for up to 256K bits address space.
Advanced CMOS technology and broad voltage range
make this device ideal for low-power/low voltage, non-
volatile code and data applications. The 24LC32 is
available the standard 8-pin in plastic DIP and 8-pin
surface mount SOIC package.
