Frequently Asked Questions
What clock frequency does the 24AA256-I/SN support, and how does it affect data transfer speed?
The 24AA256-I/SN supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz in fast-mode I2C operation. At 400 kHz, byte transfers complete in approximately 2.5 µs per clock cycle, enabling efficient communication in time-sensitive embedded applications across a 1.7 V to 5.5 V supply range.
How many write cycles can the 24AA256-I/SN handle before wear becomes a concern?
The 24AA256-I/SN is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per memory location, providing excellent endurance for frequent write operations. Combined with a minimum 200-year data retention spec and 8-byte page write buffer, it suits applications requiring periodic configuration updates over the product lifetime.
Which industrial or automotive designs benefit most from the 24AA256-I/SN in the SOIC-8 package?
The 24AA256-I/SN in SOIC-8 is well suited for industrial control systems, automotive ECUs, and medical instrumentation operating across -40°C to +85°C. Its 32 KB capacity at 5 V or 3.3 V covers typical calibration tables, event logs, and system settings without requiring larger Flash or FRAM alternatives.
