24FC02T-E/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-E/OT is a 2-Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V and supports extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +125V. The device utilizes a 5-lead SOT-23 surface-mount package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication
• Operates down to 1.7V for low-power applications
• Includes hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial environments
• Configuration storage for embedded systems
• Parameter retention in battery-powered devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'E' confirms the extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging. Confirm the specific package type matches the design requirements, as this part number corresponds to the 5-lead SOT-23 form factor.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed 1 MHz data transfer is required alongside low-voltage operation. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified extended temperature limits. Verify that the host controller supports the standard I²C protocol compatible with this device's addressing scheme.

Memory IC Part Context

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

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 24AA02T-E/OT and 24LC02BT-E/OT. Note that these alternatives may have different maximum clock frequency specifications or minimum operating voltage requirements compared to the 24FC02.
