I²C
The two high memory address bits are included in the device address. One word-address byte selects the offset within a block. With A2 low, the four blocks use 0x50–0x53.
The AT24C08C stores 1024 bytes in four address blocks and supports a full-array hardware write protect input.
Tape and reel.
Open-drain I²C data. The bus needs a pull-up to its logic rail.
| Pin | Signal | Direction | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC None | None | No internal connection. Leave electrically open unless the package notes specify otherwise. |
| 2 | NC None | None | No internal connection. Leave electrically open unless the package notes specify otherwise. |
| 3 | A2 Input | Input | Hardware address bit. Tie to a known logic level. SOT-23 omits this contact and treats it as low. |
| 4 | GND Supply return | Supply return | Connect to the common ground plane or bench return. |
| 5 | SDA Bidirectional | Bidirectional | Open-drain I²C data. The bus needs a pull-up to its logic rail. |
| 6 | SCL Input | Input | I²C clock. Connect to the host clock line with its bus pull-up. |
| 7 | WP Input | Input | Tie high to protect the entire array from writes, or low to enable writes. |
| 8 | VCC Supply input | Supply input | Primary device supply. Place the bypass capacitor close to this pin. |
