24FC02T-I/Q4B

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-I/Q4B is a 2 kbit (256 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It utilizes an I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V and features a low quiescent current of 5 uA, with a maximum active read current of 1 mA. It is housed in an 8-UDFN package and supports surface mount installation. The component ensures data retention for up to 200 years and functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with a maximum clock rate of 1 MHz.
• Operates over a wide supply voltage range from 1.7 V to 5.5 V.
• Provides long-term non-volatile data retention capability.

Memory IC Applications

• Consumer electronics configuration memory
• Automotive embedded systems

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/Q4B' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet or environmental declaration. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the specified reel or cut tape availability constraints.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact UDFN-8 footprint is required for small form factor designs. Choose this part for applications needing reliable EEPROM storage with I2C compatibility and operation at voltages as low as 1.7 V. Consider the 1 MHz speed limit when designing bus timing for high-frequency data acquisition scenarios.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24FCxx series of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its specific 2 kbit capacity and 1 MHz interface speed. The UDFN-8 package variant offers a space-saving solution compared to traditional SOIC packages.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 24FC02 variants such as 24FC02-I/SN if package differences are acceptable. Verify electrical compatibility with alternative 2 kbit I2C EEPROMs from other manufacturers before substitution.
