How to Use
To integrate the WisBlock RAK15000 EEPROM Module, insert the module into the WisBlock IO slot on your RAK carrier board, ensuring proper alignment with the connector pins. The module communicates via I2C protocol using standard SDA and SCL lines. Configure your microcontroller I2C peripheral for 400kHz operation and address the AT24CM02 using its 7-bit slave address (typically 0x50 with configurable bits based on A0, A1, A2 pin states). Initialize I2C communication with appropriate pull-up resistors (typically 4.7k ohms) on SDA and SCL lines if not already present on your carrier board.
For data operations, send write commands with the memory address followed by data bytes, respecting the 32-byte page boundary for efficient programming. Read operations require sending the target address followed by sequential byte reads up to the page boundary. Implement proper timing delays between write operations (typically 5-10ms) to allow internal EEPROM programming to complete. Enable hardware write-protection by pulling the WP pin high during field deployment to prevent accidental data corruption. Monitor the I2C bus for acknowledgment signals and implement error handling for timeout conditions in applications requiring high reliability. Refer to the AT24CM02 datasheet for detailed timing specifications and address mapping when implementing custom firmware drivers.
Product Overview
The WisBlock RAK15000 EEPROM Module integrates the Microchip AT24CM02 2-megabit serial EEPROM with I2C interface compatibility, enabling seamless integration into WisBlock ecosystems and standalone embedded projects. The AT24CM02 operates on I2C protocol at 400kHz standard mode, providing 256KB of addressable memory organized in 32-byte pages. This module delivers exceptional reliability with 1 million program/erase cycles per byte and data retention exceeding 200 years, making it ideal for mission-critical IoT applications requiring long-term data integrity and minimal maintenance overhead.
The module features ultra-low power consumption in standby mode, drawing less than 1 microampere, which is critical for battery-powered IoT devices. The AT24CM02 supports write-protect functionality through pin control, enabling hardware-level data security against accidental overwrites. Integration with RAK's WisBlock ecosystem provides standardized connector compatibility, allowing developers to rapidly prototype multi-sensor systems without custom PCB design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum I2C clock frequency supported by the AT24CM02?
The AT24CM02 supports I2C clock frequencies up to 400kHz in standard mode. While some variants support higher frequencies, the standard 400kHz specification ensures reliable operation across all temperature ranges and voltage conditions. Operating above 400kHz may result in data corruption or communication failures, particularly in noisy industrial environments or with longer cable runs.
How many AT24CM02 modules can be connected to a single I2C bus?
Up to 8 AT24CM02 modules can be connected to a single I2C bus by utilizing the three hardware address selection pins (A0, A1, A2). These pins allow configuration of 8 unique slave addresses (0x50 through 0x57), enabling independent addressing of each module. Ensure proper I2C pull-up resistors are installed and bus capacitance remains within specifications when connecting multiple modules.
What is the write cycle time and how should I implement delays in my firmware?
The AT24CM02 requires approximately 5-10 milliseconds per 32-byte page write operation. After sending a write command, your firmware should wait at least 10ms before initiating the next read or write operation. Implement polling of the I2C acknowledge bit or use a fixed delay timer to ensure reliable operation. Attempting to read during the internal write cycle will result in NAK responses and data corruption.
Can the AT24CM02 retain data without power supply?
Yes, the AT24CM02 is a non-volatile memory device that retains programmed data indefinitely without power supply. The 200+ year data retention specification guarantees data integrity even after decades of storage without power. This makes it ideal for IoT devices that may be powered down for extended periods or deployed in remote locations with intermittent power availability.
What protection does the hardware write-protect pin provide?
The WP (Write Protect) pin provides hardware-level protection against accidental write and erase operations. When pulled high, the WP pin disables all write commands, returning NAK responses to any write attempts. This prevents firmware bugs or external interference from corrupting stored data. The write-protect feature is particularly valuable in field-deployed devices where data integrity is mission-critical.
