00 — Overview

What the M24C02-F family does

The M24C01/02-F is a 1-Kbit or 2-Kbit serial I²C bus EEPROM. This family spans the M24C01/02-W and M24C01/02-R variants, offering 169 mil and 150 mil width options respectively. The M24C02-F specifically supports a 1.7 V to 5.5 V single supply voltage. It features a 400 kHz bus mode, 5 ms byte write time, and 200-year data retention. The device supports both random and sequential read modes. Engineers typically use it for non-volatile data storage in commercial and industrial applications. It offers more than 4 million write cycles and enhanced ESD protection. The part is available in TSSOP8, SO8, PDIP8, and various DFN packages.
