NM24C08U/NM24C09U
8K-Bit Serial EEPROM
2-Wire Bus Interface
General Description,
Functions
I I2C™ compatible interface
The NM24C08U/09U devices are 8K (8,192) bit serial interface
CMOS EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-
OnlyMemory).ThesedevicesfullyconformtotheStandardI2C™
2-wire protocol which uses Clock (SCL) and Data I/O (SDA) pins
to synchronously clock data between the "master" (for example a
microprocessor) and the "slave" (the EEPROM device). In addi-
tion, the serial interface allows a minimal pin count packaging
designed to simplify PC board layout requirements and offers the
designer a variety of low voltage and low power options.
I 8,192 bits organized as 1,024 x 8
I Extended 2.7V – 5.5V operating voltage
I 100 KHz or 400 KHz operation
I Self timed programming cycle (6ms typical)
I "Programming complete" indicated by ACK polling
I NM24C09U: Memory "Upper Block" Write Protect pin
Features
NM24C09U incorporates a hardware "Write Protect" feature, by
which, the upper half of the memory can be disabled against
programming by connecting the WP pin to VCC. This section of
memory then effectively becomes a ROM (Read-Only Memory)
andcannolongerbeprogrammedaslongasWPpinisconnected
I The I2C™ interface allows the smallest I/O pincount of any
EEPROM interface
I 16 byte page write mode to minimize total write time per byte
to VCC
.
I Typical 200µA active current (ICCA)
I Typical 1µA standby current (ISB) for "L" devices and 0.1µA
standby current for "LZ" devices
Fairchild EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications requir-
ing high endurance, high reliability and low power consumption for a
continuously reliable non-volatile solution for all markets.
I Endurance: Up to 1,000,000 data changes
I Data retention greater than 40 years
