ON Semiconductor CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 EEPROM

The CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 is a high-performance EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device from ON Semiconductor, designed to provide efficient non-volatile data storage. This particular model is part of the CAT24Cxx series, which is known for its reliability and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

With an 8-Kb memory capacity, the CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 allows for the storage of 8,192 bits of data. It operates on a power supply range of 1.7V to 5.5V, which makes it suitable for various low-power and standard applications. The device communicates through a standard I²C-compatible (2-wire) serial interface, which supports a 400 kHz data transfer rate, ensuring quick and efficient data access.

One of the key features of this EEPROM is its hardware write protection. The CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 includes a write protect pin (WP), which prevents accidental data overwrites and ensures data integrity during volatile conditions. This makes the device particularly useful in applications where data security and stability are critical.

The EEPROM is offered in a TSSOP-8 package, which is known for its compact size and suitability for space-constrained applications. The small footprint of the package allows designers to save valuable board space while maintaining robustness and performance.

ON Semiconductor's CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 is specified for operation across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, which ensures reliable performance under extreme conditions. This, combined with the device's high endurance and low power consumption, makes it an excellent choice for industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications, including wireless devices, smart meters, and medical equipment.

The device also supports a full array of programmable features, including byte and page write (up to 16 bytes), making it highly adaptable to complex data storage requirements. With its advanced features and ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, the CAT24C08HU4I-GT3 stands out as a robust and versatile EEPROM solution for designers and engineers looking to enhance their systems.
