DESCRIPTION
The MIC module is supplied on a dedicated print-
ed circuit board. It contains a serial EEPROM that
is accessed through four contacts on the PCB, us-
ing the I
2
C protocol. The contact names are listed
in Table 1. The contact dimensions and positions
are shown in Figure 1, and are compliant with the
DV standard.
The members of the MIC range are available in
two forms:
s
The MIC-R family
s
MiniDV (Digital Video Cassette)
The MIC-S family
Figure 1. Connections
The MIC-R family works with serial EEPROM ca-
pacities between 1 Kbit and 8 Kbit (the I
2
C-com-
patible EEPROM devices: M24C01, M24C02,
M24C04 and M24C08).
The MIC-S family works with serial EEPROM ca-
pacities greater or equal to 16 Kbit (the XI
2
C-com-
patible EEPROM devices: M24C16, M24C32 and
M24C64).
Both families are compliant with the DV standard.

MIC
The electrical and functional parameters of each
MIC module can be found in the appropriate
M24Cxx
data sheet (where ‘xx’ is the memory ca-
pacity in Kbit). It should be noted, though, that the
guaranteed operating temperature range of the
MIC modules is -10
°C
to 85
°C.
Each MIC module is addressed using a specific
Device Select byte that is fully compliant with the
DV standard.
