24C01CT-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C01CT-I/MS is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes a 2-wire I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features an access time of 3.5 µs. Packaged in an 8-lead MSOP, it supports surface mount installation and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 400 kHz I2C communication protocol
• Provides non-volatile data retention exceeding 200 years
• Features low-power CMOS technology for efficient operation

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Consumer electronics needing compact non-volatile memory solutions
• Automotive modules utilizing standard I2C interfaces

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 'MS' denotes the MSOP-8 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure supply voltage constraints align with system design requirements.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint EEPROM is required for I2C-based architectures. The MSOP-8 package offers space efficiency compared to larger SOIC variants. Verify that the 4.5V minimum operating voltage matches the target system power rails, as lower voltage options exist in other product families.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24C01C series of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its specific voltage range and packaging. The 'CT' suffix typically indicates tape and reel packaging availability for automated assembly processes.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24C01-I/MS or 24C01A-I/MS for pin-compatible replacements. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm identical voltage ranges and timing specifications before substitution.
