Working Principles

The CAT24C04YI-GT3JN is based on EEPROM technology, which allows for electrically erasing and reprogramming of data. It utilizes an I2C interface to communicate with a microcontroller or other devices. The memory cells within the IC store data in a non-volatile manner, meaning the data remains intact even when power is disconnected. The IC can be written to and read from using the serial data input/output (SDA) and serial clock input (SCL) pins.
