24FC02-I/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02-I/SN is a 2-Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device features a page write buffer for up to 8 bytes, hardware write protection via the WP pin, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package and supports industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz.
• Includes an 8-byte page write buffer to optimize data writing efficiency.
• Features hardware write protection controlled by the WP pin to prevent unauthorized modifications.
• Incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control to ensure signal integrity.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage in embedded controllers
• Parameter retention in low-power IoT devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the voltage supply range aligns with the system design, as this variant supports operation down to 1.7V. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 MHz I²C interface is required for faster data throughput compared to standard 400 kHz variants. It is suitable for designs needing wide voltage flexibility from 1.7V to 5.5V. Consider the 8-SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX02 family of serial EEPROMs, which also includes the 24AA02 and 24LC02B. While sharing similar memory organization and interface protocols, the 24FC02 is distinguished by its support for higher clock speeds up to 1 MHz across the full voltage range.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC02B offers similar functionality but is limited to a 400 kHz clock speed and requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V. The 24AA02 provides comparable voltage ranges but also operates at a maximum of 400 kHz.
