24FC04-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC04-I/MS is a 4-Kbit (512 x 8) I²C Serial EEPROM housed in an 8-lead MSOP package. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and features 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
• Includes hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise immunity
• Provides low-power operation with standby current as low as 1 µA

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration memory for embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in industrial sensors
• Parameter storage in consumer electronics

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'MS' suffix indicates the 8-lead MSOP package type. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your specific manufacturing process.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when a 1 MHz I²C interface is required compared to slower 400 kHz alternatives. It is suitable for designs needing operation down to 1.7V. Consider the MSOP package for space-constrained surface-mount applications.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24XX04 family of serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA04 and 24LC04B but offers higher bus speeds. The family provides flexible packaging options including PDIP, SOIC, and various leadless packages.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC04 variants with different packages such as 24FC04-E/P or 24FC04-I/SN. Cross-family replacements like 24LC04B are possible but limited to 400 kHz speeds.
