24C65/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24C65/P is a 64-kbit (8K x 8) serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. It utilizes a 2-Wire I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz and an access time of 900 ns. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 6 V, drawing a maximum active read current of 3 mA. It supports through-hole mounting and functions reliably between 0°C and +70°C. Data retention is specified at 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication protocols for efficient data transfer
• Provides non-volatile storage with long-term data retention capabilities
• Compatible with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring persistent parameter storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration data preservation
• Automotive modules storing calibration values

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' confirms the PDIP-8 through-hole package variant rather than surface-mount options. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Ensure supply voltage constraints align with system design limits before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when through-hole packaging is mandatory for mechanical stability or existing board layouts. Choose over surface-mount variants if automated SMT equipment is unavailable. Verify that the 4.5V minimum operating voltage suits the target power rail.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24xx65 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 24LC65 series but differs in operating voltage ranges and temperature grades. The PDIP package distinguishes it from SOIC or TSSOP alternatives within the same memory capacity class.
