24LC04-I/SL

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC04-I/SL is a 4-kbit (512 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes a two-wire I²C interface supporting standard mode up to 100 kHz and fast mode up to 400 kHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with various logic levels. It features a write-protect pin for data security and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.
