Working Principles

The BR24S16FVM-WTR operates based on the principles of EEPROM technology. It utilizes a floating gate transistor structure to store and retrieve data. The IC communicates with the host device through the I2C interface, enabling read and write operations. When data is written, an electric charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the transistor's behavior and storing the information. This stored data can be retained even when the power supply is disconnected.
