The STMicroelectronics M24C32-RMN6P is a 32 Kbit serial EEPROM with an I2C interface, organized as 4K x 8 bits. It runs at a 1 MHz clock rate with a 450 ns access time, covering the fast-mode I2C bus spec.
At 1 MHz I2C clock (1 µs period), that is under half a clock cycle — the host controller sees data ready within the first byte of the read transaction. No extra wait states needed on most MCU I2C peripherals.
ROHS3 compliant. For a production BOM line, this part does not carry the obsolescence risk that drives spot-market premiums.
Package and mounting — 8-SOIC, surface mount
The Bulk shipping form means it comes in tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel — check your pick-and-place feeder compatibility if you are running high volume. Orientation is standard SOIC-8: pin 1 marked with a dot or notch. No exposed pad, no thermal vias needed — this is a straightforward reflow part.
