CAT24C32WI-GT3 device package

CAT24C32WI-GT3 schematic symbol

In the past few decades, the electronics technology has seen unprecedented growth and advancement. From rudimentary analog devices of the 80s to the smart digital devices of today, memory chips have always been an integral component of the electronic systems. No electronic computing or embedded system can function without these memory chips. There are different types and categories of memories used in the electronic circuits. One of the most widely used memory type is the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The EEPROMs are very commonly used in computers and reprogrammable embedded systems. The EEPROM is more commonly referred to as flash memory. The EEPROMs use serial interfaces like SPI and I²C for reading/writing of data. Most of the modern microcontrollers and SOCs have EEPROMs built into the same device package.
