Can I connect multiple M24C32-WMN6TP ICs in parallel on the same I2C bus? Yes, multiple M24C32-WMN6TP ICs can be connected in parallel on the same I2C bus. Each IC needs to have a unique hardware address assigned using the device's address pins. 2. What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the M24C32-WMN6TP? The M24C32-WMN6TP IC supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz in Fast mode, ensuring high-speed data transfer between the IC and the microcontroller or other I2C devices. 3. Can I write to individual bytes or do I have to erase and overwrite the entire memory? The M24C32-WMN6TP supports byte-level write operations, allowing you to write data to individual bytes without erasing and overwriting the entire memory. This feature enables efficient data management in applications where only specific data regions need to be modified.
