125°C-rated I²C EEPROM for harsh environments
The Microchip 24FC04-E/MS is a 4Kbit serial EEPROM with an I²C interface, organized as 256 x 8 x 2 bytes. The 1 MHz clock rate and 450 ns access time mean it keeps up with a fast I²C bus without inserting wait states on back-to-back reads.
The supply range spans 1.7V to 5.5V, covering 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic rails without a separate level translator or LDO. That simplifies the BOM when the MCU runs at 3.3V and a sensor or actuator on the same bus needs 5V — the EEPROM sits on whichever rail the bus master uses.
