Working Principles

The S-24CS04AFJ-TB-G utilizes an I2C interface to communicate with the host microcontroller or system. It follows the I2C protocol, which involves a master-slave relationship between the microcontroller and the EEPROM. The microcontroller initiates read or write operations by sending specific commands and addresses over the I2C bus.

During a write operation, the microcontroller sends the data to be stored along with the target memory address. The EEPROM then stores the data in the specified location. Similarly, during a read operation, the microcontroller sends the memory address it wants to access, and the EEPROM returns the corresponding data.
