The CAT24WC33/65 is a 32K/64K-bit Serial CMOS
E2PROM internally organized as 4096/8192 words of 8
bits each. Catalyst’s advanced CMOS technology sub-
CAT24WC33/65 features a 32-byte page write buffer.
The device operates via the I2C bus serial interface and
is available in 8-pin DIP or 8-pin SOIC packages.

These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions outside of those
listed in the operational sections of this specification is not

Note:
(1) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC + 2.0V for periods of less than 20ns.
(2) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(3) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(4) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1V to VCC +1V.
