The GT24C08A-2ZLI-TR is an 8K-bit (1024 x 8) CMOS EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device manufactured by Giantec. This EEPROM features a two-wire serial interface, fully compatible with the I2C protocol, simplifying integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems. It is designed for low-power applications requiring non-volatile data storage. The “-TR” suffix indicates that the device is provided in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

Applications:

• Consumer electronics such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and LCD TVs for storing user preferences and settings.
• Industrial control systems for storing calibration data and configuration parameters.
• Automotive electronics for storing diagnostic codes and vehicle identification information.
• Smart meters for storing meter readings and configuration data.
• Medical devices for storing patient data and device settings.

Features:

• 8K-bit (1024 x 8) EEPROM memory
• Two-wire serial interface (I2C compatible)
• Low-voltage operation (1.8V to 5.5V)
• Low power consumption
• Self-timed write cycle

Benefits:

• Non-volatile data storage, retaining data even when power is removed.
• Simple interface for easy integration with microcontrollers.
• Wide operating voltage range suitable for various applications.
• Reduced power consumption, ideal for battery-powered devices.
• Simplified write operations due to the self-timed write cycle.

Additional Details:

The GT24C08A-2ZLI-TR operates with a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. It supports the I2C protocol with clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features a self-timed write cycle, which frees the microcontroller to perform other tasks during the write operation. It is available in various packages, including SOIC and TSSOP. The typical endurance is 1 million write cycles per byte, ensuring reliable long-term data storage. The device is often used in applications where small amounts of data need to be stored reliably and updated infrequently.
