24FC08-E/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC08-E/P is an 8-Kbit (1K x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a two-wire serial interface compatible with I²C protocols, supporting clock frequencies up to 1 MHz across a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V. The device operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes low-power CMOS technology.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication for efficient data transfer
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression
• Provides over 1 million erase/write cycles with more than 200 years of data retention

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable non-volatile storage
• Consumer electronics operating in harsh thermal environments
• Embedded devices needing configuration parameter storage
• Automotive applications utilizing AEC-Q100 qualified components

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the Extended temperature rating (-40°C to +125°C) aligns with your system's operational requirements. Ensure compatibility with the host controller's I²C bus speed capabilities before finalizing procurement decisions.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when extended industrial temperature performance is mandatory alongside high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication. The 24FC08-E/P is suitable for designs requiring robust noise immunity through Schmitt triggers and hardware write protection. Consider the PDIP package availability if through-hole mounting is preferred for prototyping or specific mechanical constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX08 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA08 and 24LC08B but offers superior clock frequency performance. The E suffix specifically denotes the extended temperature variant, distinguishing it from standard industrial grade parts within the same memory capacity class.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24FC08-I/P serves as the industrial temperature equivalent. For lower speed requirements, the 24LC08B is compatible but limited to 400 kHz. The 24AA08 supports 1.7V operation at lower speeds. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility when substituting.
