24AA256-E

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · MSOP-8

24AA256-E from Microchip Tech, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected A0 is not connected on the MSOP package; the datasheet states pins A0 and A1 are no connects for the MSOP package only.
2 NC unconnected A1 is not connected on the MSOP package; the datasheet states pins A0 and A1 are no connects for the MSOP package only.
3 A2 input User-configurable chip address input that must be connected to either VCC or VSS; up to two devices can share the bus in the MSOP package.
4 VSS power_in Ground.
5 SDA bidirectional Open-drain bidirectional serial address/data I/O that requires a pull-up resistor to VCC (typical 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for 400 kHz and 1 MHz).
6 SCL input Serial clock input used to synchronize data transfer to and from the device.
7 WP input Write-protect input that must be tied to VSS (write operations enabled) or VCC (write operations inhibited, reads unaffected).
8 VCC power_in Power supply, 1.7V to 5.5V for 24AA256 and 24FC256, 2.5V to 5.5V for 24LC256.
