24FC04T-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC04T-I/MS 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 utilizes low-power CMOS technology, ensuring standby current remains at or below 1 µA and active read current does not exceed 1 mA. Designed for industrial applications, it operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors to ensure component integrity. Review the latest datasheet revisions for any updates regarding electrical characteristics or packaging changes before finalizing procurement specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an I²C-compatible EEPROM with 1 MHz speed is required. Ensure the system voltage supports the 1.7V minimum threshold. Consider the MSOP package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified industrial temperature limits for optimal performance.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX04 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA04 and 24LC04B but offers higher bus speeds. The family provides various package options including SOIC, PDIP, and SOT-23 to accommodate different design requirements.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC04 variants in different packages such as 24FC04-I/SN or 24FC04-I/P. Cross-family replacements like 24LC04B are possible but require verification of voltage compatibility and clock speed limitations.
