24FC02T-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-I/MS 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 industrial temperature conditions from -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes an 8-lead MSOP 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
• Includes an 8-byte page write buffer
• Features hardware write protection via the WP pin

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in sensor modules

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix 'I/MS' corresponds to the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 8-lead MSOP package type. Confirm compatibility with the host system's I²C bus voltage levels and timing requirements before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 MHz I²C speed is required alongside low-voltage operation down to 1.7V. It is suitable for designs needing hardware write protection and compact surface-mount packaging. Ensure the application does not require the extended temperature range or different package styles available within the broader 24FC02 family.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX02 series of 2-Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA02 and 24LC02B but offers higher bus speeds up to 1 MHz compared to the 400 kHz limit of other variants in the same memory capacity class.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24FC02-I/MS (tube) and 24FC02-I/SN (SOIC). Cross-family replacements like the 24AA02 or 24LC02B are possible but operate at lower maximum clock frequencies.
