24AA014T-I/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA014T-I/OT is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable PROM featuring an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device supports page writes of up to 16 bytes and includes hardware write protection via the WP pin, which is absent in this SOT-23-6 package configuration. It offers 1,000,000 erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional 2-wire serial communication compatible with standard I²C protocols
• Provides hardware-level write protection for the entire memory array
• Features a self-timed write cycle with automatic erase-before-write capability
• Includes an internal address pointer for sequential read operations

Memory IC Applications

• Low-power embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control units operating within extended temperature ranges
• Consumer electronics utilizing I²C bus architectures
• Portable devices powered by low-voltage battery supplies

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the application design accounts for the absence of the Write Protect pin in the SOT-23-6 package variant. Ensure supply chain sources provide official datasheets to validate electrical characteristics against system requirements.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for small-scale non-volatile storage. The SOT-23-6 package minimizes board space compared to larger 8-pin options. Consider the 1.7V minimum operating voltage for compatibility with low-power microcontrollers and battery-operated environments.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA014 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24LC014 but differs in operating voltage specifications. The 'T' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging, while '/OT' denotes the SOT-23-6 package and industrial temperature range.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1Kb I²C EEPROMs from Microchip such as the 24AA014HT-I/OT or 24LC014T-I/OT, provided voltage and package constraints are met. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verification of I²C timing parameters and voltage levels.
