The AT24C128C-XHM-T is a 128Kb (16KB) I2C-compatible serial EEPROM memory device produced by Microchip Technology. It comes in an 8-pin package. Here is a brief overview of its pin configuration and functions:
1. A0, A1, A2: These are the device address pins. They are used to define the I2C address of the EEPROM, allowing up to eight such devices on the same I2C bus by altering the address combinations.
2. VCC: This is the power supply pin. The device operates with a supply voltage in the range of 1.7V to 5.5V.
3. GND: The ground pin, which is the reference point for all the voltage levels.
4. SDA: The Serial Data line is used for data input/output. It is an open-drain terminal that needs a pull-up resistor.
5. SCL: The Serial Clock line controls the flow of data on the I2C bus.
6. WP: The Write Protect pin. When connected to VCC, the write operations are disabled, protecting the data from being altered.
These pins facilitate the communication and operation of the EEPROM with a host microcontroller or processor over the I2C bus.
