24FC02T-I/ST

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-I/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 industrial temperature conditions from -40°C to +85°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 I²C communication up to 1 MHz
• Operates on low-voltage single supply down to 1.7V
• Includes hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise immunity

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 'ST' corresponds to the 8-lead TSSOP package type as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm the temperature grade 'I' matches the required industrial range of -40°C to +85°C for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 MHz I²C speed is required alongside low-voltage operation starting at 1.7V. Ensure the design accommodates the 8-lead TSSOP footprint. Note that while the 24LC02B shares similar features, it is limited to 400 kHz and a higher minimum voltage of 2.5V.

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 performance advantages regarding operating voltage and bus speed compatibility.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24FC02-I/ST is a direct pin-compatible alternative to the 24FC02T-I/ST, differing primarily in tape-and-reel packaging versus tube packaging.
