24AA00-I/PG

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA00-I/PG is a 128-bit (16 x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM featuring a 2-wire I2C compatible serial interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V, with typical active read current of 500 µA and standby current of 1 µA. The device supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz and includes Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It offers over one million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years. The Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) version is housed in an 8-lead Plastic Dual In-Line (PDIP) package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Low-power CMOS technology enabling operation down to 1.8V with minimal active and standby currents
• I2C compatible 2-wire serial interface with Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression
• High reliability specifications including over one million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years
• Integrated output slope control designed to eliminate ground bounce during switching operations

Memory IC Applications

• Storage of calibration values in electronic systems
• Retention of unique ID numbers for device identification
• Recording manufacturing information and configuration data

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'PG' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact package type and lead finish. Ensure the industrial temperature range matches application requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets or manufacturer declarations prior to procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when small non-volatile memory capacity is required for low-power applications. The 1.8V minimum operating voltage makes it suitable for battery-powered devices. Verify that the system bus speed supports the 400 kHz maximum clock frequency and that the 8-pin PDIP package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA00/24LC00/24C00 family of 128-bit serial EEPROMs. The '24AA' prefix indicates support for low-voltage operation starting at 1.8V, distinguishing it from the 2.5V minimum 24LC00 series. The 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature range, while 'P' specifies the PDIP package style.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same family include the 24LC00-I/P and 24C00-I/P, though voltage ranges differ. Cross-vendor equivalents may exist but require verification of I2C timing parameters and voltage levels.
