24C01C/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01C/SN is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It operates on a single 5V supply within the 4.5V to 5.5V range and features an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device utilizes CMOS technology for low power consumption, offering a typical active read current of 3 mA and standby current of 5 µA. It provides robust data retention exceeding 200 years and supports over one million erase/write cycles. The component is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package with a specified access time of 3.5 µs.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard I2C bus protocols with compatibility for both 100 kHz and 400 kHz clock frequencies.
• Incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs on all addresses and data lines to suppress noise interference.
• Features output slope control mechanisms designed to eliminate ground bounce during switching operations.
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer to optimize sequential data writing efficiency.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable non-volatile data storage
• Consumer electronics utilizing I2C communication buses
• Automotive applications needing high durability and noise immunity

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN' confirms the 8-lead SOIC package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation. Ensure the operating voltage requirements align with the 4.5V to 5.5V specification before integration into the target circuit design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit capacity is sufficient for application needs. Choose this part for designs requiring industrial temperature stability and high noise immunity via Schmitt triggers. Consider this option if the system architecture relies on standard I2C interfaces with moderate speed requirements up to 400 kHz.
