Mingjiada Supply ST M24256 Serial EEPROM Memory - 256Kbit Serial I2C Bus Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory

Against the backdrop of growing demand for non-volatile parameter storage in embedded systems, STMicroelectronics’ (ST) M24256 series of 256Kbit serial I²C bus EEPROMs has become a widely adopted storage solution for industrial control, automotive electronics and IoT devices, thanks to its 32KB capacity, 4 million erase/write cycles and data retention of over 200 years. Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — maintains a long-term stock of the full range of M24256 models, supporting both sample procurement and high-volume BOM fulfilment.

M24256 is a 256 Kbit I²C-compatible EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with a storage structure of 32 K × 8 bits. The M24256-DR operates at supply voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, with a clock frequency of 1 MHz (or lower), and is designed for an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C. The M24256-DR provides an additional page known as the identification page (64 bytes). This identification page can be used to store sensitive application parameters, which can (subsequently) be permanently locked in read-only mode.

Analysis of key M24256 parameters:
The M24256 employs a 32K × 8-bit organisation and is accessed via an I²C-compatible serial interface. It supports three bus modes: 100 kHz (standard), 400 kHz (fast) and 1 MHz (Fast-mode Plus), making it compatible with the vast majority of MCU and SoC platforms.
