Experiment: AT24C256 I2C Interface EEPROM Storage Module

The AT24C256 is a 256Kbit serial EEPROM from ATMEL, known for its electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory capabilities. It is available in an 8-pin dual in-line package, offering a compact structure with substantial storage capacity. This EEPROM allows multiple ICs to be connected in parallel on a 2-wire bus, making it particularly suitable for data acquisition systems that require high-capacity storage. The AT24C256 is packaged in the SOP-8 format. You can find more information about this component on Unikeyic's website

Chip Specifications

The chip operates at three different voltages:

1. 5.0V (VCC=4.5V～5.5V)
2. 2.7V (VCC=2.7V～5.5V)
3. 1.8V (VCC=1.8V～3.6V)

Features:

1. Internally organized as 32k×8 memory units
2. 2-wire serial interface
3. Schmitt trigger with filtered input to suppress noise
4. Bidirectional data transfer protocol
5. Hardware write protection pin and software data protection function
6. Supports 64-byte page write mode

1. A0, A1: Address selection input pins. In a serial bus structure, up to 4 AT24C256 ICs can be connected. A0 and A1 are used to differentiate between each IC. A0 and A1 are grounded when not in use.
2. SCL:.Data on the SDA line is written to the memory at the rising edge of the clock, and data is read from the memory to the SDA line at the falling edge.
3. SDA: Bidirectional serial data input/output port. Used for data exchange between the memory and microcontroller.
4. WP:The write protection input is used to control the write operations of the memory. When this pin is connected to ground, write operations are enabled. Conversely, connecting it to VCC disables all write operations to the memory. If the pin is left unconnected, it is internally pulled down to ground, allowing write operationsVCC: Power supply.
5. GND: Ground.
6. NC: Not connected.
