M24256-BWMN6TP

STMicroelectronics · EEPROM · SOIC-8-150mil

M24256-BWMN6TP from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-8-150mil. 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 E0 input Chip Enable address input bit b1 of the 7-bit I2C device select code. Must be tied to VCC or VSS (floating reads as 0). Sets one of eight device addresses on a shared bus.
2 E1 input Chip Enable address input bit b2 of the 7-bit I2C device select code. Must be tied to VCC or VSS (floating reads as 0).
3 E2 input Chip Enable address input bit b3 of the 7-bit I2C device select code. Must be tied to VCC or VSS (floating reads as 0).
4 VSS power_in Ground reference for VCC supply voltage.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C Serial Data input/output. Open-drain output, requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. Transfers data in and out of the EEPROM synchronized with SCL.
6 SCL input I2C Serial Clock input. Strobes data available on SDA(in) and clocks out data on SDA(out). Supports up to 1 MHz on the -BW variant.
7 WC input Write Control (active low). When driven high, write operations to the entire memory array are inhibited (device select and address bytes are still acknowledged, data bytes are not). Driven low or left floating enables writes.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage. On the -BW variant: 2.5 V to 5.5 V. Decouple with a 10 nF to 100 nF capacitor to VSS close to the package pins.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
m24256-bwmn6tp.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
m24256-bwmn6tp-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with M24256-BWMN6TP already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 639 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: STMicroelectronics datasheet (43 pp, sha256 3667ff5a4600a5b5, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
