24LC1026-E/P

24LC1026-E/P is a memory device used by engineers and technicians worldwide. This type of memory is typically used in embedded systems and applications where sustained performance and low power dissipation are important. This article explains the application field and working principle of the 24LC1026-E/P device.

The 24LC10x-E/P memory devices are designed with a uniform block architecture consisting of an instruction register, access register, control register, status register, program counter, and one or more Data FLASH memory areas. Each flash memory block contains 256 bytes (16 x 16-bit words). The flash memory blocks are organized into code and data areas. The code area contains up to 8K bytes of executable instructions. The data area stores up to 16K bytes of data or status information.

The 24LC1026-E/P resource utilization is organized into three distinct system functions. These are the On-chip timer, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and on-chip Clock. The on-chip Timer is used to monitor the time-out period of an external bus (microprocessor or other control unit) to ensure that the memory is not over-utilized or in danger of losing data integrity. The CRC provides on-chip verification of data stored in an external memory. The on-chip Clock provides a reference time for controlling all logic functions. The Clock generates an interrupt to indicate that a certain number of clock cycles have elapsed and prevents the memory from exceeding this threshold.

The 24LC1026-E/P combines hardware and software components for interconnecting various hardware peripheral devices (such as I/O and control registers, memory chips, and external data sources/sinks) under tight timing constraints and with low power consumption. With this versatile architecture, designers can build embedded systems quickly and cost-effectively, without worrying about excessive loading or increased power consumption. This makes the 24LC1026-E/P a great choice for data intensive embedded systems, such as those used in industrial automation and medical devices.

The 24LC1026-E/P features a versatile, four-wire serial bus interface that supports multiple serial communication protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART and RS232. This allows designers to easily interface various peripheral devices. The device also features on-chip time-out detection to ensure data integrity and minimal power consumption. Furthermore, the 24LC1026-E/P supports multiple software environments, including C and Assembly, to enable rapid design and prototyping.

In summary, the 24LC1026-E/P is a versatile and cost-effective memory device that allows designers to quickly develop embedded systems with tight timing constraints and low power consumption. The device features an industry-standard four-wire serial bus interface, on-chip time-out detection, and multiple software environments, making it ideal for embedded system design and prototyping.
