24FC02T-E/ST

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-E/ST 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 temperature conditions from -40°C to +125°C. The device utilizes an 8-lead TSSOP package and includes hardware write protection, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication compatible with standard bus protocols
• Features hardware write protection via the WP pin to inhibit memory writes
• Includes Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for enhanced signal integrity

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial environments requiring extended temperature stability
• Configuration storage for embedded systems operating at low voltages
• Parameter retention in consumer electronics utilizing I²C buses

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the TSSOP package and Extended temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation matching the manufacturer's part number format.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when operation below 2.5V is required alongside high-speed 1 MHz data transfer rates. The Extended temperature rating makes it suitable for harsher environments compared to Industrial grade variants. Verify that the system design accommodates the open-drain SDA line requirements and pull-up resistor values.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX02 family of 2-Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA02 and 24LC02B but offers distinct electrical characteristics regarding voltage range and clock speed compatibility within the same package lineup.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC02 variants with different packages or temperature grades, such as 24FC02-I/SN or 24FC02-E/ST36KVAO. Cross-family replacements like 24LC02B are limited to 400 kHz speeds and higher minimum voltages.
