NM24Wxx
2K/4K/8K/16K-Bit Standard 2-Wire Bus Interface
Serial EEPROM with Full Array Write Protect
General Description
Features
The NM24Wxx devices are 2048/4096/8192/16,384 bits, respec-
tively, of CMOS non-volatile electrically erasable memory. These
devices conform to all specifications in the IIC 2-wire protocol and
are designed to minimize device pin count, and simplify PC board
layout requirements.
■ Hardware Write Protect for entire memory
■ Low Power CMOS
200µA active current typical
10µA standby current typical
1µA standby typical (L)
0.1µA standby typical (LZ)
The entire ememory can be disabled (Write Protected) by con-
nectingtheWPpintoVCC.Thememorythenbecomesunalterable
■ IIC Compatible interface
unless WP is switched to VSS
.
— Provides bidirectional data transfer protocol
■ Sixteen byte page write mode
— Minimizes total write time per byte
This communications protocol uses CLOCK (SCL) and DATA
I/O (SDA) lines to synchronously clock data between the master
(forexampleamicroprocessor)andtheslaveEEPROMdevice(s).
The Standard IIC protocol allows for a maximum of 16K of
EEPROM memory which is supported by Fairchild's family in 2K,
4K, 8K, and 16K devices, allowing the user to configure the
memory as the application requires with any combination of
EEPROMs.
■ Self timed write cycle
— Typical write cycle time of 6ms
■ Endurance: 1,000,000 data changes
■ Data retention greater than 40 years
■ Packages available: 8-pin DIP, 8-pin SO, and 8-pin TSSOP
■ Available in three temperature ranges
- Commercial: 0° to +70°C
Fairchild EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications
requiringhighendurance, highreliabilityandlowpowerconsump-
tion.
- Extended (E): -40° to +85C
- Automotive (V): -40° to +125°C
