00 — Overview

What the M24C08 does

The M24C08x is an 8-Kbit serial I²C bus EEPROM available in M24C08-W, M24C08-R, and M24C08-F variants. It supports 400 kHz and 100 kHz bus modes with a 16-byte page size. The part operates on single supplies ranging from 1.6 V to 5.5 V depending on the grade, featuring random and sequential read modes. It offers more than 4 million write cycles and 200-year data retention. Engineers typically use this component for non-volatile data storage in commercial, industrial, and automotive applications requiring robust memory retention.
