HT24C256ARZ

HTCSEMI · EEPROM · SOP-8

HT24C256ARZ from HTCSEMI, 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. Hard-wired to VSS or VCC to set the least significant bit of the I2C slave address; if left floating it is internally read as VSS (low). Up to eight HT24C256A devices can share one 2-wire bus by using unique A0/A1/A2 combinations.
2 A1 input Device address input bit 1. Hard-wired to VSS or VCC to set the second I2C slave address bit; if left floating it is internally read as VSS (low).
3 A2 input Device address input bit 2. Hard-wired to VSS or VCC to set the most significant of the three slave address bits; if left floating it is internally read as VSS (low).
4 VSS power_in Negative power supply / ground reference (0V).
5 SDA bidirectional Serial data input/output for the 2-wire (I2C) interface. Open-drain output that requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC; may be wired-OR with other open-drain devices on the bus. Input high VIH = 0.7VCC min, input low VIL = 0.3VCC max; VOL = 0.4V max at IOL = 2.1mA (VCC = 2.4V).
6 SCL input Serial clock input for the 2-wire (I2C) interface. Data is clocked into the EEPROM on the positive edge and clocked out on the negative edge. Maximum clock frequency is 400kHz at VCC = 1.8V-5.0V and 1MHz at VCC = 2.5V-5.0V.
7 WP input Write protect input. When tied to VCC, the entire 256K memory array is write-protected (read-only). When tied to VSS or left floating, normal read/write operations are permitted.
8 VCC power_in Positive power supply, 1.8V to 5.5V over the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Operating current is 2mA max (read) / 5mA max (write) at 5V, 400kHz; standby current is 3μA max at 5V.
