24C01C-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01C-E/MS is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) utilizing an I2C-compatible 2-Wire interface. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features a maximum access time of 3.5 µs and is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package. Designed for industrial applications, it functions between -40°C and +125°C with a data retention period of 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with clock rates up to 400 kHz
• Ensures long-term data integrity with a 200-year retention specification
• Operates reliably across the full industrial temperature range

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile parameter storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration data retention
• Automotive modules operating under extended thermal conditions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates compliance with RoHS directives and confirms the absence of halogenated flame retardants. Confirm the 'MS' designation corresponds to the 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP). Ensure the ordering code matches the required industrial temperature grade and voltage specifications before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit capacity is sufficient for storing calibration data or user settings. Choose the MSOP package for surface-mount assembly constraints. Verify that the system power supply remains stable within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range, as operation outside these limits may affect reliability or functionality.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24C01C series of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its specific voltage requirements and package type. The series provides a standardized interface for low-density memory applications across various electronic industries.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 24C01C-I/MS for industrial temperature variants or the 24C01C-E/P for through-hole DIP packaging. Cross-brand equivalents require verification of pin compatibility and voltage tolerance.
