24C00T-I/ST

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C00T-I/ST is a serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device. It provides a storage capacity of 128 bits, organized as 16 words by 8 bits. The component utilizes a two-wire I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and supports surface mount installation in an 8-pin TSSOP package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed synchronous serial communication via the standard two-wire I2C bus protocol.
• Features hardware write protection capability to prevent accidental data modification during operation.
• Designed for low-power consumption suitable for battery-operated or energy-efficient electronic systems.

Memory IC Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring non-volatile parameter storage
• Personal communications devices needing configuration retention
• Industrial control units storing calibration constants

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'I/ST' corresponds to the industrial temperature range and tape-and-reel packaging format required for your assembly line. Confirm the voltage specifications align with your system's power rails before finalizing the order to ensure compatibility with the 2.5V to 5.5V operating window.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small, non-volatile memory footprint is sufficient for application needs. The I2C interface simplifies PCB routing compared to parallel memories. Ensure the design accommodates the 8-pin TSSOP form factor and that the controller supports the necessary I2C addressing scheme for the 128-bit density.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24C00 series of serial EEPROMs. It shares functional similarities with other members like the 24LC00 and 24AA00, differing primarily in voltage ranges and packaging options. The 'T' suffix indicates reel packaging, while 'I' denotes the industrial temperature grade.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24C00-I/SN is a documented substitute offering identical electrical characteristics but housed in an 8-SOIC package instead of TSSOP-8. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical clearance differences between the SOIC and TSSOP footprints before swapping components in existing designs.
