24CSM01-E/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24CSM01-E/P is a 1-Mbit (131,072 x 8) Serial EEPROM featuring an I²C interface with High-Speed mode support up to 3.4 MHz. It operates within a voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and supports extended temperature ranges (-40°C to +125°C). The device includes a Security Register with a preprogrammed 128-bit serial number and user-programmable lockable ID pages. Built-in ECC logic corrects single-bit errors, and it offers hardware write protection via the WP pin.

Memory IC Feature Summary

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'P' corresponds to the 8-Lead PDIP package as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the 'E' suffix indicates Extended Temperature range capability (-40°C to +125°C). Ensure compatibility with the required I²C bus speed and voltage levels before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-Mbit capacity is required alongside high-speed data transfer rates up to 3.4 MHz. It is suitable for designs needing integrated security features such as unique serial numbers and robust error correction. Consider the PDIP package only if through-hole mounting is necessary for the specific application constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

The 24CSM01 belongs to Microchip's CS series of Serial EEPROMs optimized for consumer, industrial, and automotive markets. It distinguishes itself from standard EEPROMs by integrating a dedicated Security Register and ECC logic. The device supports multiple I²C speeds and offers flexible write protection mechanisms to safeguard critical data.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 24CSM01 variants with different packages or temperature ratings, such as 24CSM01-I/MS or 24CSM01T-I/MS. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 1-Mbit capacity, I²C interface, and Security Register features.
