24FC01T-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC01T-E/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface. It supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, ensuring active read currents of 1 mA maximum and standby currents of 3 µA maximum in extended temperature conditions. It offers hardware write protection via the WP pin, an 8-byte page write buffer, and data retention exceeding 200 years with over one million erase/write cycles.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication for efficient data transfer
• Operates across a wide voltage range down to 1.7V for flexible power integration
• Includes hardware write-protect capability to secure memory contents
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile parameter storage
• Industrial control units needing reliable data logging
• Automotive electronics demanding extended temperature operation
• Consumer devices utilizing low-voltage power supplies

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'E' corresponds to the Extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging. Confirm the 'MS' suffix matches the required 8-lead MSOP package type. Ensure the specific revision of the datasheet DS20001711M aligns with your design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed 1 MHz I²C performance is required alongside low-voltage operation starting at 1.7V. Choose the Extended temperature grade for environments exceeding standard industrial limits. The MSOP package is suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Verify that the host system can support the necessary pull-up resistor values for the selected bus speed.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX01 family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA01 and 24LC01B but distinguishes itself through higher clock frequency compatibility and lower minimum operating voltage. The family provides standardized I²C interfaces for various memory capacity needs.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24FC01-I/MS serves as a verified substitute within the same package and interface specifications, differing primarily in the industrial temperature rating.
