24AA08T-I/CS16K

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA08T-I/CS16K is an 8-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V, supporting clock frequencies up to 400 kHz at voltages above 2.5V and 100 kHz below that threshold. It utilizes low-power CMOS technology with standby currents as low as 1 µA. The component includes hardware write-protect capabilities, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional data transmission via a two-wire serial bus protocol
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data storage operations
• Features hardware write protection controlled by the WP pin state
• Incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs and filter circuits for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Parameter retention in battery-backed devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CS16K against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) aligns with system requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets or environmental reports prior to integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact Chip Scale Package is required for space-constrained designs. Choose this part over variants like the 24LC08B if operation down to 1.7V is necessary, as other family members may require higher minimum voltages. Consider the 16-byte page buffer size when designing write algorithms to optimize bus throughput.

Memory IC Part Context

This EEPROM belongs to the 24XX08 family, which shares functional similarities but differs in voltage ranges and speed capabilities among subtypes like 24AA08, 24LC08B, and 24FC08. The 'I' designation indicates the Industrial temperature range. The 'CS16K' suffix specifically denotes the 4-Ball CSP packaging configuration supplied in a reel format.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and electrical characteristics include other 24AA08 variants in CSP packages. Cross-family substitutes like 24LC08B are electrically similar but operate at a higher minimum voltage of 2.5V. Verify pin compatibility and voltage tolerances before substituting.
