24FC02T-I/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-I/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 is housed in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. The device supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, includes hardware write protection via the WP pin, and offers data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication for efficient data transfer
• Enables hardware-based write protection through the dedicated WP pin
• Incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring reliable non-volatile memory storage
• Embedded controllers needing compact surface-mount EEPROM solutions
• Low-voltage portable devices operating down to 1.7V

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the intended application environment falls within the specified industrial temperature range. Ensure power supply voltages remain within the 1.7V to 5.5V operational limits to maintain device reliability and performance specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small SOT-23 footprint is necessary alongside high-speed 1 MHz I²C bus compatibility. It is suitable for designs requiring operation at lower supply voltages compared to standard 2.5V-only EEPROMs. Consider its hardware write protection capabilities if system security against accidental writes is a priority.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX02 family of serial EEPROMs, which shares architectural similarities with the 24AA02 and 24LC02B series. While it utilizes the same physical package options and basic 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

The 24FC02T-I/SN serves as a direct functional substitute offering identical electrical characteristics but utilizing an 8-pin SOIC package instead of the SOT-23 form factor.
