FT24C04A-USR-B

Memory

The FT24C04A-USR-B is a nonvolatile memory device which utilizes 4 Kbits of Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) located in 8-bit wide packages. It features the I2C serial interface which is a two-wire bidirectional bus and provides serial data and control information. Electrically, it closely follows the I2C and I2C Bus Two-Wire Serial Interface Specification, Version 2.0..

Application Field

The FT24C04A-USR-B is a multipurpose IC that is commonly used in electronics, including communication, industrial, and military systems. Its simple yet powerful architecture makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications such as automotive and security systems, health care, and home automation. It is also often used in industrial automation and robotics for precise data input/output and accurate timing.

Working Principle

The FT24C04A-USR-B works on the principle of storing and retrieving data from an EEPROM memory. It is designed with advanced CMOS technology that allows for high speed operation and low power consumption. It has an additional integrated circuit that is used to control the data flow. The EEPROM is accessible through the I2C protocol, which is used to write and read the data stored in the EEPROM. The I2C is a two-wire bus and can support multiple slave devices, up to 8 slave devices can be connected together. It requires two signals, SCL and SDA, in order to send and receive data. The memory contents can be accessed through the internal control circuitry, so that the data can be written and read back on demand. The EEPROM can be divided in several sectors and each sector can be written and read separately. The data stored in the memory is nonvolatile and is not affected by power loss or reboots. It also offers flexibility in bus addressing and in setting multiple start/stop conditions.

In addition, the FT24C04A-USR-B supports built-in error correction codes for reliability of the data stored in the memory. It also supports high endurance, meaning that data can be re-written and erased over an extended period of time without degrading the memory’s performance.

In summary, the FT24C04A-USR-B is a nonvolatile memory device that is suitable for a range of applications, including medical, automotive, and industrial systems. The I2C protocol is the primary means of communication with the IC, allowing for high speed operation and low power consumption. The memory contents can be accessed through control circuitry, and the built-in error correction codes ensure reliability of the data. Overall, the FT24C04A-USR-B is a reliable, stable, and efficient device that is suitable for a variety of applications.
