Hi, I'd like to use a m24sr device for data transfer in RF->I2C direction (upgrading firmware on a MCU using a NFC phone). Are there any estimates about what bandwidth can be achieved?

    Dear Customer,

    It is difficult to precisely answer bandwidth question as it will depend on the overhead of the accesses of the OS stack on the RF Reader side and the MCU on the I2C side.

    RF is capable of handling data at 106kbps max. And the I2C bus SCL clock frequency is  up to 1Mhz. 

    We advise to use the maximum buffer size authorized for doing the transfer on I2C and RF side to maximize the overall system bandwidth

    Have a good day.

    Regards,
