Package

The 24LC256-I/P is an I2C-compatible EEPROM memory chip packaged in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package). This package type allows for easy mounting on printed circuit boards.

Pinout

The 24LC256-I/P is a 256 Kbit (32 Kbyte) EEPROM, and it comes in an 8-pin DIP package. The pin configuration and their functions are as follows:
1. VCC: Power supply (+2.5V to +5.5V).
2. GND: Ground reference.
3. SDA: Serial Data Line; used for data input/output.
4. SCL: Serial Clock Line; used to synchronize data transmission.
5. WP: Write Protect; when high, it protects the memory from write operations.
6. A0: Address pin 0; used to set the least significant bit of the device address.
7. A1: Address pin 1; used to set the next bit of the device address.
8. A2: Address pin 2; used to set the most significant bit of the device address.
This configuration allows for multiple 24LC256 devices to be connected on the same I²C bus with unique addresses.
