BL24C256A-PARC

BL Shanghai Belling · EEPROM · SOP-8

BL24C256A-PARC from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A0 input Device address input bit 0. Hardwired to VCC or GND to select one of eight device addresses on the I2C bus. Internal proprietary bias pulls the pin to a logic low if left floating.
2 A1 input Device address input bit 1. Hardwired to VCC or GND to select one of eight device addresses on the I2C bus. Internal proprietary bias pulls the pin to a logic low if left floating.
3 A2 input Device address input bit 2. Hardwired to VCC or GND to select one of eight device addresses on the I2C bus. Internal proprietary bias pulls the pin to a logic low if left floating.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data line. Open-drain bidirectional pin for serial data transfer; requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. May be wire-ORed with other open-drain devices on the bus.
6 SCL input I2C serial clock input. Data is clocked into the EEPROM on the positive edge and clocked out on the negative edge. Supports up to 1 MHz at VCC >= 2.5 V (400 kHz at 1.7-2.5 V).
7 WP input Write Protect. Tie to GND for normal read/write operation. When tied to VCC, the entire 256 Kbit memory array becomes write-protected (hardware data protection).
8 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage, 1.7 V to 5.5 V (2.5 V to 5.5 V for full 1 MHz operation). Typical read current 0.14 mA, write current 0.28 mA at VCC=5.0 V/400 kHz.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BL24C256A-PARC
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bl24c256a-parc-etched.step / bl24c256a-parc-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bl24c256a-parc.step / bl24c256a-parc.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bl24c256a-parc.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bl24c256a-parc-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with BL24C256A-PARC already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 651 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
