The AT24C02C-STUM-T from Microchip Technology is a high-performance, serial electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device. It is a part of Microchip's extensive EEPROM product line, designed for optimal reliability and data retention. This particular model is known for its low-power consumption and versatile interfacing through an I²C-compatible (2-wire) serial interface.

With a storage capacity of 2-Kbit (256 x 8), the AT24C02C-STUM-T allows for efficient data storage in a wide range of applications. It operates across a voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for various low-voltage and standard-voltage operations. This flexibility ensures compatibility with most microcontrollers and digital systems, which often operate within this voltage range.

The device supports a bidirectional data transfer protocol, which provides a simple and effective solution for data serialization. The EEPROM's write cycle time is typically 5 ms, with a high endurance of 1 million write cycles and a data retention period of 100 years, guaranteeing long-term reliability for applications that require frequent data updates.

Packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), the AT24C02C-STUM-T is designed for space-conscious applications, ensuring a compact footprint on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This package type also provides thermal efficiency and improved electrical performance, essential for precision electronics.

The device also includes features such as a write protect pin to prevent inadvertent writes to the memory and a page write mode that allows up to 8 bytes to be written in a single write cycle, enhancing the efficiency of data logging operations.

Ideal for use in a variety of markets, including consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, and telecommunications, the AT24C02C-STUM-T from Microchip Technology represents a reliable and flexible solution for your non-volatile memory needs.
