24C08B-E/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C08B-E/P is an 8 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a 2-wire serial interface (I2C) with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supporting low power consumption with standby currents as low as 1 µA. It offers high endurance with 1,000,000 write/erase cycles and data retention exceeding 100 years. The component is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports page write capability for up to 16 bytes of data
• Includes hardware write protection via dedicated pin
• Compatible with standard I2C bus protocols

Memory IC Applications

• Battery-powered consumer electronics
• Industrial control systems
• Smart metering devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates industrial temperature range compliance and 'P' denotes the PDIP package style. Confirm RoHS status and lead time requirements directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to ordering. Ensure voltage levels match system specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring robust non-volatile storage with high endurance. The wide operating voltage range allows flexibility in power supply design. Consider the PDIP package for through-hole prototyping or environments where surface-mount assembly is not feasible.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24AA08/24LC08B family of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 24LC08B but differs in voltage ranges and package options. The 24C08B series is widely used for storing calibration data and configuration parameters in embedded systems.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24AA08-E/P and 24LC08B-E/P. Verify voltage compatibility, as the 24AA08 supports lower voltages down to 1.8V while the 24LC08B typically starts at 2.5V. Package and pinout remain consistent across these variants.
