Working Principles

The BR24T01F-WE2 operates based on the principles of EEPROM technology. It utilizes electrically controlled floating gate transistors to store and retrieve data. When data is written, an electrical charge is applied to the floating gate, altering its threshold voltage. This change in threshold voltage represents the stored data. During read operations, the threshold voltage is measured to determine the stored information.
