Application

ATC's electrically erasable programmable read only memories (EEPROMs) offer valuable security features including write protect function , two write modes ,three read modes, and a wide variety of memory size. Typical applications for the I²C bus and AM24LCXX memories are included in SANs(small-area-networks), stereos, televisions, automobiles and other scaled-down systems that don't require tremendous speeds but instead cost efficiency and design simplicity.

Description

The AM24LC16 is a non-volatile, 16384-bit serial EEPROM with enhanced security device and conforms to all specifications in I²C 2 wire protocol. The whole memory can be disabled (Write Protected) by connecting the WP pin to V_cc. This section of memory then becomes unalterable unless WP is switched to V_ss. The AM24LC16's communication protocol uses CLOCK (SCL) and DATA I/O (SDA) lines to synchronously clock data between the master (for example: a microcomputer)and the slave EEPROM devices (s).

Anachip EEPROMs are designed and tested for application requiring high endurance, high reliability, and low power consumption.
