24C01C-I/MC

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01C-I/MC is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features a 2-wire I2C compatible interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, offering a maximum active read current of 1 mA and a standby current of 5 µA. It is housed in an 8-lead DFN package and supports industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports cascading up to eight devices on the same bus
• Includes Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression
• Features output slope control to eliminate ground bounce
• Provides self-timed erase/write cycles with page write buffer

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial data logging systems
• Consumer electronics configuration storage
• Automotive instrument clusters
• Smart metering applications

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/MC' corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and DFN-8 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required pinout and lead finish specifications before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit non-volatile storage solution is required within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range. It is suitable for designs needing I2C connectivity with high-speed 400 kHz operation. Consider the DFN-8 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and verify thermal requirements for the specified industrial temperature grade.

Memory IC Part Context

This EEPROM belongs to the 24C01C family of serial memories designed for general-purpose data storage. The family offers various package options including PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP, and DFN. The 24C01C series is characterized by its compatibility with standard I2C protocols and robust data retention capabilities exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 24C01C variants such as 24C01C/SN or 24C01C/TSSOP if package differences are acceptable. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 4.5 V to 5.5 V operating voltage and 400 kHz interface speed.
