AT24C256C-SSHL-T is a high-performance, low-power, 256Kbit serial EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) that operates at a wide voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and provides a maximum clock frequency of 1MHz. This device is designed for use in various applications such as consumer electronics, industrial control, and telecom infrastructure. The AT24C256C-SSHL-T offers a flexible and easy-to-use interface, featuring a two-wire serial interface (I2C) and a write protect pin to prevent accidental writes to the memory. Its advanced features include a hardware write protection for the entire memory array and a 64-byte page write buffer for faster writes. This EEPROM is available in a small 8-lead SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. With its reliable performance and low power consumption, the AT24C256C-SSHL-T is an ideal solution for storing configuration data, event logging, and parameter storage in a wide range of electronic systems.
