24C01CT-I/MC

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01CT-I/MC is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It features an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and utilizes low-power CMOS technology. Key electrical parameters include a maximum access time of 900 ns, a write cycle time of 1 ms, and a data retention period exceeding 200 years. It supports up to one million erase/write cycles and includes a 16-byte page write buffer.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication at 400 kHz alongside standard 100 kHz mode compatibility
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer to optimize sequential data writing operations
• Provides robust noise suppression through Schmitt trigger inputs on all pins
• Features output slope control mechanisms designed to eliminate ground bounce effects

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring reliable non-volatile data storage for configuration parameters
• Consumer electronics utilizing I2C buses for storing calibration or identification data
• Embedded controllers needing compact surface-mount memory solutions for small datasets

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/MC' confirms the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and DFN-8 package type. Ensure the ordering code matches the required tape-and-reel quantity if automated assembly is planned. Confirm RoHS compliance status aligns with current environmental regulations for your target market before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit capacity is sufficient and a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage is available. The 400 kHz speed suits applications requiring faster data transfer than standard I2C limits. Consider the 8-lead DFN package for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 16-byte page buffer meets the write pattern requirements of the host system architecture.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 24C01C family of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but differs in storage density and package options. The 'CT' suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant, while 'I/MC' denotes the industrial temperature grade and plastic DFN package style within the broader product line.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24C01CT-E/MC for commercial temperature variants or the 24C01-I/MC for cut-tape packaging. Cross-brand equivalents like the M24C01-W may require voltage level adjustments due to different operating ranges.
