24FC04T-E/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC04T-E/SN is a 4-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) organized as two blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a Two-Wire Serial Interface compatible with I²C protocols, supporting maximum clock frequencies up to 1 MHz across the full operating voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V. The device operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed serial data transmission at 1 MHz
• Includes hardware write protection via dedicated pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression
• Provides output slope control to eliminate ground bounce

Memory IC Applications

• Low-power personal communications devices
• Data acquisition systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Industrial applications with extended temperature requirements
• Embedded systems utilizing I²C bus architectures

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix 'E' confirms the Extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) and the 'SN' designation indicates the 8-lead SOIC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the datasheet revision matches the required specifications for your design implementation.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when operation below 2.5V is required alongside high-speed 1 MHz communication. Unlike variants limited to 400 kHz, this model maintains full speed at lower voltages. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified extended temperature limits for optimal endurance and data retention.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX04 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA04 and 24LC04B but offers distinct advantages in voltage flexibility and clock speed. The family supports multiple package options including PDIP, MSOP, and various DFN types.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24FC04-I/SN for industrial temperature ranges or other 24FC04 variants with different packaging such as TSSOP or MSOP. Cross-referencing with 24LC04B requires noting the 2.5V minimum voltage limit and reduced 400 kHz clock speed.
