24AA044T-E/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA044T-E/MUY is a 4-kbit (512 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes a two-wire I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V and is housed in an 8-UDFN package. It supports industrial temperature ranges and offers high data retention capabilities.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard and fast-mode I2C communication protocols
• Operates across a wide voltage range for flexible system integration
• Provides long-term non-volatile data storage

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring parameter storage
• Consumer electronics for configuration data retention
• Automotive modules needing reliable low-power memory

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MUY' confirms the 8-UDFN package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm the 'E' designation indicates extended or industrial temperature specifications as defined by the manufacturer's current datasheet. Ensure compatibility with I2C bus voltage levels before integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount EEPROM is required for I2C-based designs. The 4-kbit capacity suits applications storing small amounts of calibration data or user settings. Verify that the 1.7 V minimum operating voltage aligns with the target system's power rails.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA044 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. These devices are designed for high reliability and low power consumption, commonly used in embedded systems where space is limited and non-volatile memory is essential for maintaining data during power cycles.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 24AA044 variants such as 24AA044T-I/MUY for different temperature grades. Check pinout compatibility with alternative packages like TSSOP or MSOP if layout changes are necessary.
