NM24C32

NM24C32 32K-Bit Extended 2-Wire Bus Interface Serial EEPROM with Write Protect PRELIMINARY March 1999 NM24C32 32K-Bit Extended 2-Wire Bus Interface Serial EEPROM with Write Protect General Description: The NM24C32 devices are 32,768 bits of CMOS nonvolatile electrically erasable memory. These devices offer the designer different low voltage and low power options, and they conform to all specifications in the Extended IIC 2-wire protocol. Furthermore, they are designed to minimize device pin count and simplify PC board layout requirements. The upper half of the memory can be disabled (Write Protection) by connecting the WP pin to VCC. This section of memory then becomes ROM. This 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.
