LE24C162-R-E is a low voltage SPI/I2C serial EEPROM from ON Semiconductor. It is a 16Kbit device that provides non-volatile storage in a compact SOIC-8 package. The device supports both SPI and I2C communication protocols, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers. Its low supply voltage range and fast write cycles make it ideal for embedded applications. It has an operating voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, a clock frequency of up to 4 MHz, and a write cycle time of up to 5ms. Its low active current draw ensures long battery life and low operating costs. Additionally, the device includes an array of security functions, such as write/read protection, write protectable status bytes, device state detection, and password protection.
