DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24C32 is a 4K x 8 (32K
bit) Serial Electrically Erasable PROM. This device has
been developed for advanced, low power applications
such as personal communications or data acquisition.
The 24C32 features an input cache for fast write loads
with a capacity of eight 8-byte pages, or 64 bytes. It
also features a fixed 4K-bit block of ultra-high endur-
ance memory for data that changes frequently. The
24C32 is capable of both random and sequential reads
up to the 32K boundary. Functional address lines allow
up to 8 - 24C32 devices on the same bus, for up to 256K
bits address space. Advanced CMOS technology
makes this device ideal for low-power non-volatile code
and data applications. The 24C32 is available in the
standard 8-pin plastic DIP and 8-pin surface mount
