Applications
24AA256UID-I/ST is used for storing calibration data, configuration parameters, and non-volatile log records in industrial sensors, medical instruments, and IoT edge devices operating on 1.8 V to 5 V supplies. Its unique factory-programmed UID simplifies device serialization, enabling anti-counterfeiting and field tracking without adding a separate serial number IC. The TSSOP-8 package is well-suited for wearable electronics, smart meters, and battery-powered data loggers where board area and power budget are tightly constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many write cycles does 24AA256UID-I/ST support before endurance degradation begins, and what does that mean for a daily-logging application?
24AA256UID-I/ST is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per byte location. For a data logger writing one record per day to a fixed address, that endurance exceeds 2,700 years of operation, making endurance effectively unlimited for typical embedded logging scenarios. For high-frequency writes such as 10 writes per second to a single byte, the endurance budget lasts approximately 27 hours, so wear-leveling across the 32 KB address space is required.
At 1.7 V supply, what I2C clock rate can 24AA256UID-I/ST sustain, and is it compatible with a 1.8 V LDO-powered MCU?
At supply voltages between 1.7 V and 2.5 V, 24AA256UID-I/ST operates at up to 100 kHz (Standard Mode I2C). At 2.5 V to 5.5 V, it supports up to 400 kHz Fast Mode. A 1.8 V MCU system is compatible at 100 kHz, and pull-up resistors to 1.8 V keep the bus voltage within the device's input high threshold for correct data latching.
What role does the UID feature play in a production line programming and anti-counterfeiting strategy for a consumer device?
The unique device identifier (UID) in 24AA256UID-I/ST is factory-laser-programmed into a protected address range that cannot be overwritten. During production, the MCU firmware reads the UID over I2C and registers it with a secure provisioning server, binding the hardware to a software license or warranty record. Any counterfeit board using a generic EEPROM without a valid UID can be detected at first power-on, adding a low-cost layer of hardware authentication without a dedicated secure element.
