Manufacturer: onsemi

Categories: EEPROMs

Quality Control: Learn More

The onsemi CAT24WC256PI is a 256-kilobit serial CMOS EEPROM organized as 32K x 8 bits. This component operates via an I2C serial interface, supporting standard and fast mode communication up to 400kHz. It features hardware write protection to safeguard data integrity and a standby current of only 1µA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. The CAT24WC256PI offers robust data retention exceeding 100 years and endurance of 100,000 write cycles. Designed for through-hole mounting, the component is housed in a standard 8-lead PDIP package (JESD-30 code R-PDIP-T8) with a terminal pitch of 2.54mm. This device finds application in various industrial control systems, consumer electronics, and automotive subsystems requiring non-volatile data storage. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +85°C.

Integrated Circuit FAQs

An integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor chip that contains transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components on a single silicon substrate. ICs are the foundation of modern electronics and power devices such as smartphones, computers, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.

Integrated circuits work by routing electrical signals through microscopic semiconductor components fabricated onto a silicon chip. Depending on the design, ICs can process, amplify, store, or control electronic data.
