24CW160T-I/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24CW160T-I/MUY is a 16 Kbit (2 k x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes an I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.6 V to 5.5 V and features software write protection. It is housed in an UDFN-8 surface-mount package and supports industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication up to 1 MHz
• Includes software-based write protection mechanisms
• Operates across a wide voltage range from 1.6 V to 5.5 V

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Consumer electronics with limited power supply constraints
• Embedded systems needing configuration parameter retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MUY confirms the UDFN-8 package type and tape-and-reel delivery format. Confirm the 'I' designation aligns with the required industrial temperature range specifications for your application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact UDFN-8 footprint is necessary alongside standard I2C compatibility. Ensure the system design accommodates the 1.6 V minimum operating voltage if utilizing low-power supply rails, while verifying that the 1 MHz clock speed meets the bus timing requirements of the host controller.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24CW series of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series is characterized by its compatibility with the I2C protocol and availability in various small-outline packages suitable for space-constrained printed circuit board designs.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 24CW160 variants such as 24CW160T-I/ST or 24CW160T-E/SN66KVAO only if package changes are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications match before substituting.
