24C00-E/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C00-E/P is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes a 2-wire I2C bus interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and features through-hole PDIP-8 packaging. Key electrical parameters include a 900 ns access time, 2 mA maximum active read current, and 500 uA operating power supply current. It supports data retention for 200 years and functions across an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates extended or industrial temperature ratings as per official datasheets. Confirm the 'P' suffix corresponds to the PDIP-8 package type. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest manufacturer documentation before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 128-bit EEPROM is required for simple configuration storage. The I2C interface minimizes pin count usage on the PCB. Consider the PDIP-8 package for prototyping or through-hole assembly needs. Verify that the 400 kHz speed meets the system's communication requirements.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24C series of serial EEPROMs. These devices are designed for low-cost, low-power data storage solutions. The 24C00 variant specifically offers minimal storage capacity suitable for basic identification or calibration data. It shares the common I2C protocol architecture found across the broader family.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references such as the 24LC00/P or 24AA00/E series from other manufacturers. Ensure pinout compatibility and voltage level matching. Verify that the replacement supports the same 400 kHz I2C speed and 128-bit organization.
