24C00/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C00/SN is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes an I2C-compatible two-wire serial interface for data transfer. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. It features a maximum access time of 3.5 µs and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports I2C-compatible two-wire serial communication protocol
• Provides non-volatile data retention with long-term storage capability
• Includes hardware write protection mechanisms

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring small-scale persistent storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention for sensor modules

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation, as variations may exist regarding temperature grades or packaging formats. Confirm that the 'SN' designation corresponds to the standard SOIC-8 plastic package. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels, as this variant requires a minimum operating voltage of 4.5V, which differs from lower-voltage CMOS counterparts in the same family.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 128-bit capacity is sufficient for application requirements. It is suitable for designs operating strictly within the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range. Consider alternative parts if the system requires operation below 4.5V or if higher density storage is needed. Verify that the industrial temperature grade meets environmental constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24xx00 series of serial EEPROMs. These devices are designed for low-power applications using CMOS technology. The series offers various densities and voltage options, with the 24C00 representing the smallest capacity option in the standard I2C lineup.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Verified substitutes include the 24C00T-I/SN and 24AA00-I/SN. Check datasheets for differences in voltage ranges and temperature specifications before substitution.
