series introduction

# Introduction to the AT24C1024BN - SH - T Product Series

## 1. Overview
The AT24C1024BN - SH - T belongs to the family of Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read - Only Memory (EEPROM) products. EEPROMs are non - volatile memory devices, which means they can retain stored data even when the power supply is removed. This particular product series is designed to offer high - density storage solutions with reliable performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 Memory Capacity
The AT24C1024BN - SH - T has a memory capacity of 1024 kilobits (128 kilobytes). This large storage space allows it to store a significant amount of data, such as configuration settings, calibration data, and historical records in electronic systems.

### 2.2 I²C Interface
It utilizes the Inter - Integrated Circuit (I²C) interface, a widely adopted serial communication protocol. The I²C interface offers several advantages, including simplicity, low - pin count, and the ability to connect multiple devices on the same bus. This makes it easy to integrate the AT24C1024BN - SH - T into existing systems without the need for complex wiring or additional communication hardware.

### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
In today's energy - conscious world, low power consumption is a crucial feature. The AT24C1024BN - SH - T is designed to operate with minimal power requirements. It has a low standby current and a reduced active current during read and write operations. This makes it an ideal choice for battery - powered devices, where power efficiency is essential to extend the battery life.

### 2.4 High - Speed Operation
The device supports high - speed data transfer rates. It can perform read and write operations at relatively fast speeds, enabling quick access to stored data. This is particularly important in applications where real - time data processing is required, such as in industrial control systems and automotive electronics.

### 2.5 Endurance and Data Retention
The AT24C1024BN - SH - T offers a high endurance rating, typically allowing for a large number of write cycles (e.g., 1 million write cycles). Additionally, it has a long data retention period, usually up to 100 years. These features ensure the reliability and longevity of the stored data, even in harsh operating environments.

### 2.6 Hardware Write Protection
It is equipped with a hardware write - protection mechanism. This feature allows users to protect the stored data from accidental or unauthorized writes. By setting the write - protection pin, the memory can be made read - only, providing an extra layer of security for critical data.

## 3. Package and Pin Configuration
The AT24C1024BN - SH - T is available in a small - outline package, which is suitable for space - constrained applications. The package design ensures good thermal performance and mechanical stability. The pin configuration is carefully designed to facilitate easy connection to the host system. The pins include power supply pins (VCC and GND), I²C interface pins (SDA and SCL), and the write - protection pin (WP).

## 4. Applications

### 4.1 Consumer Electronics
In consumer electronics, such as smart TVs, set - top boxes, and digital cameras, the AT24C1024BN - SH - T can be used to store user preferences, channel settings, and image - related data. Its low power consumption and high - speed operation make it well - suited for these devices, which often require quick access to stored information.
