Applications
M24M02-DRCS6TP/K is used in industrial meters, medical wearables, and IoT sensor nodes that require non-volatile storage for calibration data, configuration parameters, or event logs with high endurance. It is also found in smart card readers, automotive infotainment modules, and portable instruments where a 256 KB EEPROM with a simple 2-wire I2C interface minimizes firmware complexity and BOM cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many write cycles does M24M02-DRCS6TP/K support, and is that sufficient for a data-logging application updating records every minute?
M24M02-DRCS6TP/K is rated for 4,000,000 write/erase cycles per byte. Writing one record per minute for a continuous data logger would consume about 526,000 cycles per year, giving the EEPROM roughly 7.6 years of life at that update rate — adequate for most field-deployed instruments with standard maintenance intervals.
At what I2C clock speed can M24M02-DRCS6TP/K operate, and how long does a full 256 KB read take at maximum speed?
The device supports I2C Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) at up to 1 MHz. Sequentially reading all 256 KB (262,144 bytes) at 1 MHz clock with an 8-bit data bus would take approximately 2.1 seconds including address overhead, which is suitable for firmware update or bulk calibration-table upload scenarios.
What supply voltage range does M24M02-DRCS6TP/K support, and can it connect directly to a 1.8 V microcontroller without a level shifter?
The EEPROM operates from 1.7 V to 5.5 V, so it connects directly to a 1.8 V MCU I2C bus without any level shifter or voltage translator. Both SDA and SCL are open-drain lines pulled to the 1.8 V rail, and the device's VIL/VIH thresholds scale with supply voltage to maintain valid logic levels.
What is the PCB footprint of the 8-ball BGA package of M24M02-DRCS6TP/K, and how does it compare to an SOIC-8 EEPROM option for density-sensitive boards?
The 8-ball BGA body measures approximately 2 mm × 3 mm with a 0.5 mm ball pitch, occupying roughly 6 mm² of PCB area. An SOIC-8 EEPROM of the same density requires about 20 mm² with 1.27 mm lead pitch. Choosing the BGA variant reduces the EEPROM footprint by approximately 70%, which is meaningful on wearable or implantable device PCBs.
