The STMicroelectronics M24M02-DRMN6TP is a 2Mb serial I2C EEPROM organized as 256K x 8, supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package on tape and reel. EEPROM differs from flash in supporting byte-level erase and write, which is what makes it the right device for small, frequently updated parameters rather than bulk code storage. This part operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, runs the I2C bus at up to 1M Hz, has a 450ns access time, and draws 2.5mA nominal. It is rated from -40C to +85C, is lead free and RoHS compliant, and ST lists it in Production status.

Serial I2C EEPROMs hold the data that must survive power cycles and change over the product's life: calibration constants, user settings and configuration, serial numbers and MAC addresses, event and error logs, run-hour counters, and identification data on plug-in modules and cables. They appear across industrial controllers, networking equipment, medical devices, appliances, automotive electronics, and consumable or accessory authentication. Buyers are typically embedded hardware and firmware engineers, industrial and medical device OEMs, and EMS providers sourcing to a released BOM.
