Description
The AT24C128/256 provides 131,072/262,144 bits of serial electrically erasable and
programmable read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 16,384/32,768 words of 8
bits each. The device’s cascadable feature allows up to 4 devices to share a common
Two-wire bus. The device is optimized for use in many automotive applications where
low power and low voltage operation are essential. The AT24C128 is available in
space-saving 8-lead JEDEC SOIC and 8-lead TSSOP packages. The AT24C256 is
available in a space-saving 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package. In addition, the entire family
is available in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V) version.
