What this 896-bit I²C EEPROM is for
The Maxim Integrated DS2460S+T&R is a 896-bit serial EEPROM organized as 112 x 8 bits, communicating over an I²C bus at up to 400 kHz. It operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
Supply range and I²C bus compatibility
The 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply window covers the two most common logic families without extra regulation. At 400 kHz the I²C interface runs at standard fast-mode speed — the bus timing is compatible with most MCU I²C peripherals and dedicated host adapters. The 896-bit density is small enough that the entire memory can be read or written in a single multi-byte transaction, which keeps the bus transaction short in a polled or interrupt-driven system.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The DS2460S+T&R carries an Active lifecycle status, so there is no last-time-buy clock running on this BOM line. ROHS3 compliant, no exemption expiry to track.
