24AA025E48-I/SN

The 24AA025E48-I/SN is a 2-Kilobit (256 x 8-bit) serial EEPROM chip produced by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of semiconductor solutions. This EEPROM device offers non-volatile data storage capabilities, allowing electronic systems to retain critical configuration parameters, calibration data, and user settings even when powered off.

Key Features:

• 2-Kilobit Capacity: The 24AA025E48-I/SN provides a total storage capacity of 2 kilobits, organized as 256 bytes (8 bits per byte). This storage capacity is suitable for storing small amounts of data such as serial numbers, identification codes, and configuration settings.

• I2C Serial Interface: The EEPROM chip features a standard I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface for communication with the host microcontroller or system. The I2C interface facilitates easy integration into a wide range of embedded systems and microcontroller platforms.

• Low Power Consumption: Microchip designs its EEPROM devices with low power consumption in mind, making the 24AA025E48-I/SN suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient applications. Low power consumption helps prolong battery life and reduce overall energy consumption in electronic systems.

• Write Protection: The EEPROM chip supports software write protection features to prevent unauthorized modification of stored data. Write protection mechanisms allow specific memory regions or the entire memory array to be locked to prevent accidental or malicious data alterations.

• Byte-Write and Page-Write Modes: The 24AA025E48-I/SN supports both byte-write and page-write modes, allowing individual bytes or entire memory pages to be written in a single operation. Page-write operations enhance write efficiency and reduce overhead in data storage applications.

• Extended Temperature Range: Microchip typically offers EEPROM devices with extended temperature ranges, including industrial (-40°C to 85°C) and automotive (-40°C to 125°C) grades. This ensures reliable performance in harsh operating environments and automotive applications.

• High Reliability: The EEPROM chip is designed for high reliability and endurance, with features such as built-in error detection and correction (EDC) capabilities. These features help ensure data integrity and longevity in critical applications.

• Small Form Factor Package: The 24AA025E48-I/SN is housed in a compact and surface-mountable 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications and automated assembly processes.

Applications:

• Embedded Systems: Used in embedded systems, microcontroller-based designs, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices for storing configuration parameters, calibration data, and firmware settings.

• Consumer Electronics: Integrated into consumer electronics products such as smart appliances, digital cameras, set-top boxes, and wearable devices for storing user preferences, device settings, and firmware updates.

• Automotive Electronics: Deployed in automotive ECUs (Engine Control Units), infotainment systems, and body control modules for storing vehicle configuration data, calibration tables, and diagnostic information.

• Industrial Automation: Utilized in industrial control systems, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) devices for storing production parameters, machine settings, and operational data logs.

• Medical Devices: Incorporated into medical devices and instruments such as patient monitors, infusion pumps, and diagnostic equipment for storing patient data, device configurations, and event logs.

• Security Systems: Integrated into security systems, access control devices, and electronic locks for storing user credentials, access codes, and event logs securely.
