FM24C128 鈥?128K-Bit Standard 2-Wire Bus
Interface Serial EEPROM
General Description
FM24C128 is a 128Kbit CMOS non-volatile serial EEPROM
organized as 16K x 8 bit memory. This device confirms to
Extended IIC 2-wire protocol that allows accessing of memory in
excess of 16Kbit on an IIC bus. This serial communication protocol
uses a Clock signal (SCL) and a Data signal (SDA) to synchro-
nously clock data between a master (e.g. a microcontroller) and a
slave (EEPROM). FM24C128 is designed to minimize pin count
and simplify PC board layout requirements.
FM24C128 offers hardware write protection where by the entire
memory array can be write protected by connecting WP pin to V
CC
.
The entire memory then becomes unalterable until the WP pin is
switched to V
SS
.
鈥淟Z鈥?and 鈥淟鈥?versions of FM24C128 offer very low standby current
making them suitable for low power applications. This device is
offered in SO, TSSOP and DIP packages.
Fairchild EEPROMs are designed and tested for applications
requiring high endurance, high reliability and low power consump-
tion.
