Working Principles

The AT24C64N-10SI-1.8 utilizes EEPROM technology, which is based on floating-gate transistors. These transistors store charge to represent binary data. When data needs to be written or erased, an electric field is applied to the floating gate, allowing electrons to tunnel through the insulating layer and modify the charge level. This process enables non-volatile data storage and reprogramming.
