24FC02T-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-E/MS is a 2-Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C interface. It operates within a voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. The device utilizes an 8-lead MSOP package and is qualified for extended industrial temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication
• Includes hardware write protection via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression
• Provides output slope control to eliminate ground bounce

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control units operating in harsh environments
• Automotive electronics compliant with AEC-Q100 standards

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the MSOP package type and Extended temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component matches the required voltage and speed specifications for the target application design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when high-speed 1 MHz I²C performance is required alongside low-voltage operation down to 1.7V. The Extended temperature rating makes it suitable for demanding environments where standard industrial grades are insufficient.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24XX02 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes variants like the 24AA02 and 24LC02B. The 24FC02 variant is distinguished by its ability to operate at higher clock speeds compared to other members of the series.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 24AA02 and 24LC02B, though these offer lower maximum clock frequencies. Ensure any replacement matches the specific MSOP package dimensions and Extended temperature requirements.
