24AA00/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA00/P is a 128-bit Electrically Erasable PROM memory organized as 16 x 8. It features a 2-wire serial interface compatible with the I2C bus. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V. It supports clock frequencies of up to 400 kHz and has a typical access time of 900 ns. The component is housed in an 8-lead PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Low-power CMOS technology ensures minimal active and standby current consumption.
• Schmitt trigger inputs provide noise suppression for reliable operation on noisy buses.
• Output slope control eliminates ground bounce during signal transitions.
• Self-timed erase/write cycles simplify host controller software requirements.

Memory IC Applications

• Storage of calibration values
• Retention of ID numbers
• Recording manufacturing information

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard tube packaging configuration. Confirm that the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Ensure the delivered components match the specified PDIP-8 package type and industrial temperature grade. Check for any recent product change notices that might affect pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small amount of non-volatile storage is required for simple data retention tasks. The low operating voltage range makes it suitable for battery-powered applications. The I2C interface compatibility allows for easy integration with standard microcontrollers. Consider the PDIP package only if through-hole assembly is mandated by the mechanical design constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX00 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes variants like the 24LC00 and 24C00. These devices share similar functional architectures but differ in supply voltage ranges and temperature specifications. The 24AA00 specifically targets lower voltage operations starting at 1.8V, distinguishing it from the 2.5V minimum requirement of the 24LC00 variant.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC00/P serves as a direct functional substitute within the same package, provided the system voltage does not drop below 2.5V. Other members of the 24XX00 family may be considered if voltage or temperature requirements differ.
