The 24LC08BT-E/MNY with an EEPROM 8K 1K X 8 2.5V SERIAL EE EXT is a Microchip branded Serial EEPROM memory chip. It features 8K bits of memory, organized as 1,024 x 8, and has an operating voltage of 2.5V. It is a non-volatile storage device - meaning that it can maintain its data even without power - and is designed for applications requiring enhanced write endurance and data retention. It offers a maximum write endurance of 5,000 cycles and a data retention of 200 years. The serial communications interface helps reduce the required number of interface pins of the memory device, and a pause feature can be used to space write operations. In addition, a hardware write protect pin and block write feature make the device suitable for low-cost system applications.
