24AA044T-I/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The 24AA044T-I/MUY is a 4-kbit (512 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 2-wire I2C interface for data communication and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V. The device supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz and features an access time of 450 ns. It is housed in an 8-UDFN package with dimensions of 2x3 mm, designed for surface-mount applications. The component ensures data retention for up to 200 years and withstands operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with clock frequencies up to 1 MHz
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 1.7 V to 5.5 V
• Provides long-term non-volatile data retention capabilities
• Utilizes compact 8-UDFN surface-mount packaging

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring small-scale non-volatile storage
• Industrial control devices needing parameter logging
• Consumer electronics with limited board space constraints
• Automotive modules requiring extended temperature operation

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature range and 'MUY' denotes the 8-UDFN package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with I2C bus protocols and voltage levels. Check for any recent production change notices affecting pinout or electrical characteristics.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance between moderate speed and low power consumption is required in a minimal footprint. It serves as a suitable alternative to standard SOIC packages where board real estate is restricted. Consider the 1.7 V minimum voltage requirement for compatibility with low-power microcontrollers. Evaluate the 512-byte organization against application data storage needs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA04/24LC04B/24FC04 family of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with other 4-kbit devices but distinguishes itself through the UDFN package and specific electrical tolerances. The 'T' suffix typically indicates tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24LC044T-I/MUY and 24FC04T-I/MUY, which share identical pinouts and functional specifications. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same industrial temperature rating and package dimensions.
