125°C AEC-Q100 — what it buys you
The M24C08-DRMF3TG/K: That covers under-hood automotive ECUs, engine-bay sensors, and any sealed enclosure that sees 105°C on a summer day with margin.
8Kbit I²C EEPROM — interface and timing
8 Kbit organized as 1K x 8, accessed over a standard I²C bus at up to 1 MHz. 450 ns access time and 4 ms page write cycle — the write cycle is the bottleneck if you are logging frequent parameter updates; budget the 4 ms per page into the firmware timing loop.
The wide range also helps during power-up sequencing — the EEPROM is ready before the main processor has finished its boot cycle.
8-MLP (2x3) — footprint and rework
8-lead WFDFN with exposed pad, 2 mm x 3 mm body. Standard hot-air rework profile for a 2x3 MLP; no underfill required for most automotive builds.
