The 24AA00/S is a stand-alone Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) providing the features of low-voltage operation, low-power consumption and high-endurance EEPROM. This type of memory is widely used in embedded systems design where data storage is required and is particularly suitable for applications where frequent writes, rigorous reliabilities, as well as good electrical characteristics are a must. This article will provide an overview of the 24AA00/S application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 24AA00/S allows for a wide range of applications in embedded systems due to its reliable low power consumption and high endurance. It can be used in various applications requiring data storage including data loggers, healthcare monitoring systems, smart cards, and personal medical devices including pulse oximeters and glucose monitors. It can also be used in automotive applications such as control units, airbags, and ABS systems as well as in consumer electronics such as mobile phones and digital cameras. The 24AA00/S is highly suitable for any application requiring a non-volatile memory with a moderately-high endurance and excellent electrical characteristics.

Working Principle

The 24AA00/S is a type of non-volatile memory, meaning that its stored data is retained even when the power supply is removed. It is an EEPROM device, meaning that it can be both electrically programmed and erased. Electrically-erasable means that the memory cells of the device can be erased and the data can be re-programmed digitally, allowing for fast and easy data manipulation. The 24AA00/S has an internal frame counter that automatically increments its address parameter with each data write operation.

The 24AA00/S is based on the use of floating gate transistors, also known as FNTFETs. FNTFETs are composed of thin insulating layers of silicon dioxide sandwiched between layers of polysilicon, which are connected to the data line. The difference in voltage between the control lines and the data line creates an electric field, which can turn the transistor either on and off. This enables the transistor to store data in the form of binary bits.

The 24AA00/S consists of 16 pages of data, each page corresponding to 32 bytes of data. Data is written and read from the memory in a serial fashion. Data can be written or erased one byte at a time by directly writing data to the memory via the data line. WR bit of the Status Register can also be used to enable write operations. The WR bit can be manipulated by writing to the Status Register, with a logic zero setting the write enable register.

The 24AA00/S also includes safety access feature to protect data from accidental erasure. This feature limits the write operation to certain defined addresses. The Status Register must be programmed with the Access Code before any write access is authorized. The correct Access Code is necessary in order to enable writes to the memory.

In summary, the 24AA00/S is a reliable, low-power and high-endurance EEPROM solution suitable for a wide range of applications where data storage is required. With its ability to be electrically programmed and erased, the 24AA00/S offers excellent electrical characteristics and is highly suitable for embedded systems design.
