This part from STMicroelectronics is an 8K x 8-bit serial EEPROM memory device with I2C communications. It has I2C serial input/output interface and operates at 2.5 V to 5.5 V and is packaged in an SO8 small outline package. This device is ideal for applications requiring fast and easy configuration of microcontrollers, as well as non-volatile storage of data, select ROM addressing, small numbers of reads and writes, and secure access time. It offers an advanced write protect feature to reduce erasures, and can be programmed to provide up to 8K words of memory. It is suitable for applications such as digital recording, security systems, and consumer electronics products.
