FM24C256

FM24C256 256 KBit 2-Wire Bus Interface Serial EEPROM with Write Protect June 2000 FM24C256 256 KBit 2-Wire Bus Interface Serial EEPROM with Write Protect General Description The FM24C256/C256L/C256LZ devices are 256 Kbits CMOS nonvolatile electrically erasable memory. These devices offer the designer different low voltage and low power options. They conform to all requirements in the Extended IIC 2-wire protocol. Furthermore, they are designed to minimize device pin count and simplify PC board layout requirements. The entire memory array can be write disabled (Write Protection) by connecting the WP pin to VCC. Functional address lines allow up to eight devices on the same bus, for up to a total of 2 Mbit address space. The IIC communication protocol uses CLOCK (SCL) and DATA I/O (SDA) lines to synchronously clock data between the master (for example a microprocessor) and the slave EEPROM device(s). Fairchild EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications requiring high endurance, high reliability, and low power consumption.
