24FC04T-I/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC04T-I/MUY is a 4-Kbit (512 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C-compatible two-wire interface. 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 page writes up to 16 bytes and includes hardware write protection via the WP pin. It is housed in an 8-lead UDFN package and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication for efficient data transfer
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer to optimize write operations
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression
• Provides hardware write protection through the dedicated WP pin

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the base part number covers multiple form factors. Confirm the temperature grade aligns with the application environment requirements. Ensure the voltage supply meets the minimum operational threshold for the selected variant. Check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 MHz bus speed is required compared to slower 400 kHz alternatives. The 1.7V minimum operating voltage makes it suitable for battery-powered designs where power conservation is critical. The UDFN package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts.

Memory IC Part Context

This device belongs to the 24XX04 family of serial EEPROMs, which also includes the 24AA04 and 24LC04B variants. While sharing similar memory architectures and interfaces, these parts differ in maximum clock frequencies and minimum operating voltages. The 24FC04 specifically targets applications requiring faster data throughput than standard I²C limits allow.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 24AA04 and 24LC04B, provided their lower clock speeds and voltage constraints meet system requirements.
