24C00T/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C00T/SN is a serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device featuring a storage capacity of 128 bits, organized as 16 words by 8 bits. It utilizes an I2C (Two-Wire) serial interface for communication. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package and is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz
• Provides non-volatile data retention with a specified endurance of 1 million write cycles
• Includes hardware write-protect capability to prevent accidental data modification

Memory IC Applications

• Configuration storage in embedded systems
• Calibration data retention for sensor modules
• Device identification and parameter logging

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging versus 'SN' standard tube packaging. Confirm the specific voltage grade matches system requirements, as some variants may differ. Ensure the I2C address pins are configured correctly for the target bus topology. Cross-reference the exact datasheet revision for timing specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring minimal EEPROM capacity with I2C connectivity. Compare against the 24AA00 series for low-voltage compatibility if operating below 4.5V. Consider the 24C01 or larger capacities if more storage space is needed. Verify package availability in tape-and-reel format for automated assembly processes.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip 24C00 family of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with the 24C00-I/SN but differs in packaging configuration. The 'T' suffix typically denotes reel packaging, while 'SN' specifies the SOIC-8 body style. It serves as a compact solution for small-scale data storage needs in industrial environments.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24C00-I/SN is a direct functional equivalent differing primarily in packaging type. The 24LC00 series offers wider voltage compatibility including 2.5V operation. The 24AA00 series provides similar functionality with potentially different temperature grades.
