Microchip Technology's AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 EEPROM

The AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 is a high-performance, 4-Kbit Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) integrated circuit product from Microchip Technology. Designed for optimal efficiency, this EEPROM device provides reliable data storage solutions, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications in various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial control systems, and medical devices.

This EEPROM is part of the AT24C series and operates on a power supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, which makes it versatile for use in systems that require low-power consumption. The AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 comes in a compact 8-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) and features a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring stable performance across different environmental conditions.

With a fast write cycle time of 5 ms (typical) and a factory write cycle endurance of 1 million write cycles, the AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 ensures long-term reliability and a substantial lifespan for data retention — typically over 100 years. It supports a maximum clock frequency of 1MHz, enabling quick data access and fast read/write operations, which are critical in time-sensitive applications.

The device is organized as 512 x 8 bits, which allows for byte-level and page-level serial data write functions. This granularity of data management provides flexibility and efficiency in data handling. Moreover, the AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 includes a built-in error checking and correction feature, which further enhances data integrity and reliability.

For secure data applications, the AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 incorporates a write protect pin that, when connected to ground, prevents accidental data overwrites. Additionally, the device supports both the standard I²C and the 2-wire serial interface, making it easy to integrate into existing systems without the need for complex interfacing or additional hardware.

Microchip Technology's commitment to quality ensures that the AT24C04A-10TI-1.8 is a robust and reliable non-volatile memory solution that meets the stringent requirements of modern electronic systems. Whether you're designing a small gadget or a sophisticated industrial control unit, this EEPROM can provide the data storage and management capabilities you need.
