24C01CT-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01CT-E/MS is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I2C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features a 3.5 µs access time and is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package. It guarantees data retention for over 200 years and withstands more than one million erase/write cycles, functioning reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 400 kHz I2C communication with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression.
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer to optimize sequential data writing operations.
• Features hardware write protection capabilities to prevent accidental data modification.
• Designed with low-power CMOS technology for minimal active and standby current consumption.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable non-volatile data storage at elevated temperatures.
• Consumer electronics needing compact memory solutions for configuration parameters.
• Automotive applications demanding extended temperature range compliance and durability.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free construction as per manufacturer standards. Confirm the '/MS' designation corresponds to the 8-lead MSOP package type. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified 4.5V to 5.5V voltage range to maintain signal integrity and timing specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit capacity is sufficient for storing small datasets or calibration values. The MSOP package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. The industrial temperature rating makes it appropriate for harsh environments where standard commercial parts may fail.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24C01C family of 1-kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares functional similarities with other variants like the 24C01A but differs in packaging and specific electrical characteristics. The family is designed for cost-effective, low-density non-volatile memory applications across various industries.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24C01A series with compatible pinouts and functionality. Verify that alternative packages match the required thermal and mechanical constraints. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure voltage and speed requirements are met by potential replacements.
