Working Principles

CAT1024LI30 utilizes EEPROM technology, which employs floating-gate transistors to store and retrieve digital information. The memory cells are organized into an array, with each cell capable of storing one bit of data. Data is written by applying electrical charges to the floating gates, altering their threshold voltage levels. Reading is achieved by measuring the voltage level of each memory cell. The I2C interface facilitates communication between the device and the host system.
