24C00-I/SN

Memory IC Overview

The 24C00-I/SN is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes an I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz and features a typical access time of 3.5 µs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperature grades from -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package and includes hardware data protection capabilities.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with up to 400 kHz clock frequency
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality for data security
• Non-volatile memory retains data for extended periods without power

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring small parameter storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration data retention
• Embedded systems utilizing I2C bus architectures

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/SN' confirms the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and SOIC-8 package. Confirm that the 4.5V to 5.5V operating voltage aligns with your system's power rails, as this variant differs from lower-voltage counterparts like the 24LC series. Ensure compatibility with your I2C bus voltage levels before integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 128-bit capacity is sufficient for application needs. The 4.5V to 5.5V supply requirement distinguishes it from 2.5V-compatible variants. The industrial temperature grade makes it suitable for environments exceeding standard commercial limits. Verify that the 8-SOIC package fits the available PCB footprint constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24xx00 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. These devices are designed for low-power, non-volatile data storage using standard I2C protocols. The family offers various densities, with the 24C00 representing the smallest 128-bit option in the standard voltage range series.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC00-I/SN serves as a compatible alternative if the system supports a wider voltage range including 2.5V. Other pin-compatible options within the same package include different density variants from the same manufacturer, provided the memory size requirements are met.
