Working Principles

The BR24G128NUX-3TTR is based on Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) technology. It utilizes a floating gate transistor structure to store and retrieve data. When data is written, an electric charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the transistor's behavior. This charge can be removed during the erase operation, allowing the transistor to return to its original state. The stored data can be accessed by sending appropriate commands through the I2C interface.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The BR24G128NUX-3TTR is commonly used in various applications, including:

1. Consumer Electronics: Used for storing configuration settings, user preferences, and firmware updates in devices such as TVs, set-top boxes, and audio systems.
2. Industrial Automation: Enables data logging, parameter storage, and system configuration in industrial control systems, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and sensors.
3. Automotive: Utilized for storing vehicle-specific data, such as mileage, maintenance records, and user preferences in automotive electronics, including infotainment systems and instrument clusters.
4. Medical Devices: Used for storing patient data, device configurations, and calibration information in medical equipment like patient monitors, infusion pumps, and diagnostic devices.
