24C00T/ST

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C00T-I/ST is a serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device. It features a storage capacity of 16 bits, organized as 2 pages of 8 bits each. The component utilizes a 2-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 data retention for up to 200 years. The device is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication with standard mode operation up to 400 kHz.
• Provides non-volatile data storage with long-term retention capabilities.
• Compatible with standard 5V logic levels while maintaining low power consumption.

Memory IC Applications

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

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus tube formats. Ensure the operating temperature grade matches the application requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when minimal non-volatile storage is required for system configuration or calibration data. The small 16-bit capacity makes it suitable for storing unique identifiers or simple state flags. Verify that the I²C address pins are configured correctly to avoid bus conflicts in multi-device environments.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24C series of serial EEPROMs, designed for low-cost, low-power applications requiring reliable data retention. The 'T' suffix typically indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, while 'I' denotes industrial temperature range performance.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 16-bit I²C EEPROMs from Microchip such as the 24AA00 series. Ensure pin compatibility and voltage level matching when replacing components in existing designs.
