24FC02T-I/SN - Microchip

24FC02T-I/SN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of write cycles for the 24FC02T-I/SN?
  The 24FC02T-I/SN has a maximum of 1 million write cycles, with a minimum of 100,000 write cycles guaranteed.
• How do I handle page writes and block writes in the 24FC02T-I/SN?
  The 24FC02T-I/SN uses a page write buffer to handle writes. The device can write up to 8 bytes of data in a single page write operation. For block writes, the device can write up to 32 bytes of data in a single block write operation.
• What is the purpose of the WP pin on the 24FC02T-I/SN?
  The WP (Write Protect) pin is used to prevent writes to the entire memory array or a specific block of memory. When the WP pin is tied to VCC, the entire memory array is write-protected. When the WP pin is tied to a specific block address, only that block is write-protected.
• How do I handle power-up and power-down sequencing for the 24FC02T-I/SN?
  The 24FC02T-I/SN requires a specific power-up and power-down sequencing to ensure proper operation. The device should be powered up with VCC rising before SCL, and powered down with VCC falling before SCL.
• What is the maximum clock frequency for the 24FC02T-I/SN?
  The 24FC02T-I/SN has a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz.
