Product Overview
The CAT24C512WI-GT3 from onsemi is a 512-Kbit (64KB) serial I2C EEPROM in an 8-pin SOIC package. Organized as 65,536 x 8 bits, it features a 128-byte page write buffer, supports Standard (100kHz), Fast (400kHz), and Fast-Plus (1MHz) I2C modes, and operates from 1.8V to 5.5V. With on-chip ECC for enhanced reliability, 1,000,000 program/erase cycles, 100-year data retention, hardware write protection, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity, it is designed for high-reliability non-volatile storage applications.
