24FC08-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC08-E/MS is an 8-Kbit (1K x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) featuring a two-wire I²C compatible serial interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. The device is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and is rated for extended industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication with clock frequencies up to 1 MHz
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data storage operations
• Features hardware write protection via the WP pin to secure memory content
• Provides Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Parameter retention in battery-backed circuits
• Device identification and calibration data storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix corresponds to the MSOP package type and Extended temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation. Ensure the specific revision of the datasheet matches the production batch requirements for your design integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when low-voltage operation down to 1.7V is required alongside high-speed 1 MHz I²C performance. The Extended temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard industrial grades are insufficient. Compare against the 24LC08B if only 2.5V minimum operation is needed, or the 24AA08 if lower maximum clock speeds are acceptable.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX08 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes the 24AA08 and 24LC08B variants. While sharing similar architectural features and pinouts, the 24FC08 distinguishes itself through its ability to operate at lower voltages and higher clock speeds compared to other members of the series.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and electrical specifications include the 24FC08-I/MS for industrial temperature ranges. Cross-family replacements like the 24LC08B require verification of voltage and speed compatibility.
