24LC04BT-I/SN

Memory forms the basic configuration of modern digital devices and systems, providing them with data storage and retrieval. 24LC04BT-I / SN is a 4Kb series of Serial Electrically Erasable PROgrammable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). It is a popular choice of memory for embedded microcontroller and processor systems.

Application Field

The 24LC04BT-I / SN chip has a wide variety of applications, mainly in the field of industrial control, military, aerospace technology, automotive engineering and other industrial fields. Some of its most common applications include home appliances, computers, communications, transistor radios and audio systems.

For example, in home appliances, the 24LC04BT-I / SN chip can be used to store device settings, provide load current for display screen, store passwords and other data that need to be stored for a long time. In addition, these chips are used in other areas such as storage and retrieval of data from different sources and locations in smart systems, biomedical devices and anti-theft systems.

Working Principle

The 24LC04BT-I / SN chip is a two-wire serial EEPROM which operates on a simple two-wire serial bus interface. It provides a low cost, easy-to-use solution for storing and retrieving information in microcontroller and processor systems. The chip has a built-in address counter, auto-increment feature and embedded error detection circuits.

The chip can store up to 4Kbits of data organized in different pages of 256Byte blocks with the use of two-wire serial bus protocol. The embedded SRAM buffer can store up to 64bytes at a time, allowing the chip do partial page write; and the autonomous data transfer uses the internal address-counter to save on time. The improved data retention is typical 20 years at 25 degrees Celsius.

In addition, the chip is also designed to protect its contents from static electricity discharge, and it is available in the following three packages: the 8-pin PDIP, the 8-pin SOIC and the 8-pin TSSOP. It operates over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

In conclusion, the 24LC04BT-I / SN chip is an economical, small and fast memory solution for embedded microcontroller and processor systems. With its wide range of application fields and its easy-to-use two-wire serial interface, the 24LC04BT-I / SN chip provides an ideal choice for such systems.
