Microchip Technology AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 EEPROM

The AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 is a high-performance, 4-Kbit Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) module from Microchip Technology, which is a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. This EEPROM device is designed for optimal efficiency and reliability in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and telecommunication systems.

This particular EEPROM module operates with a power supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for low-power applications and compatible with most microcontrollers in the market. The AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 offers a 10ms write cycle time, allowing for quick and efficient data storage operations.

The device is organized as 512 words of 8 bits each (512 x 8), providing a total storage capacity of 4 Kbit. It features a two-wire serial interface, which supports the standard I²C protocol, simplifying integration into existing systems with minimal additional components. The I²C interface also enables multiple devices to share the same bus, which is beneficial for systems requiring additional memory expansion.

One of the key features of the AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 is its self-timed write cycle, which includes an auto-erase before writing to the memory cell. This feature ensures data integrity and reduces the complexity of the write operations. The device also includes a write protect pin to prevent inadvertent writes, thereby safeguarding the stored data.

The AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 comes in a standard 8-lead SOIC package, which is widely used in the industry and known for its ease of soldering onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Moreover, the device is designed for endurance, with a rated 1 million write cycles and a data retention period of over 100 years, ensuring the longevity and durability of the stored information.

Microchip Technology's commitment to quality means that the AT24C04AN-10SI-2.7 is a reliable choice for designers looking to incorporate a small, yet robust non-volatile memory solution into their electronic designs.
