STMicroelectronics M24C02-WMN6TP

The M24C02 is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8-bit) I²C bus EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). It is designed for a variety of applications that require non-volatile storage. The device is available in multiple package types and operates over a wide temperature range. Functions - Data storage: Provides non-volatile storage for digital data. - I²C Interface: Uses the I²C protocol for communication, which allows multiple devices to be connected on the same bus. - Write Protection: Features a hardware and software write protection mode to protect data integrity. - Page Write: Supports page write operations which allow data to be written in blocks rather than single bytes. Applications - Consumer electronics: Used in devices like remote controls, televisions, and home appliances for storing settings and configuration. - Industrial applications: Data logging and configuration storage in industrial controllers and equipment. - Medical devices: Storing calibration data or patient information in portable medical equipment. - Smartcards and security tokens: Used for personal identification or authentication purposes. - Telecommunications: Storing network configurations or subscriber data. Alternative Parts - M24C04: A 4 Kbit version of the EEPROM with similar characteristics. - M24C08: An 8 Kbit EEPROM for applications requiring more storage. - M24M02: A 2 Kbit EEPROM that offers a different interface or higher endurance. - AT24C02: An equivalent product from Atmel (now part of Microchip Technology) offering similar functionality in a similar package. Embedded Modules The M24C02-WMN6TP can be integrated into various modules or systems including: - Microcontrollers: Often interfacing with MCUs like STM32 for added storage. - Sensor modules: Used alongside sensors to store calibration data or results. - Development boards: Used on various development boards for testing and prototyping. - Communication modules: Integrated into RF modules or other communication devices that require storage for settings or data logs.
