DESCRIPTION SBGA5 (EA)
TSSOP8 (DW)
These I2C-compatible electrically erasable 169 mil width 75 mil width
programmable memory (EEPROM) devices are
organized as 2048/1024/512/256/128 x 8 bit
(M24C16, M24C08, M24C04, M24C02, M24C01),
and operate with a power supply down to 2.5 V (for
the -W version of each device), and down to 1.8 V Figure 1. Logic Diagram
(for the -R version of each device).
The M24C16, M24C08, M24C04, M24C02,
M24C01 are available in Plastic Dual-in-Line,
Plastic Small Outline and Thin Shrink Small VCC
Outline packages. The M24C16-R is also
available in a chip-scale (SBGA) package.
