24FC08-I/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC08-I/P is an 8-Kbit (1K x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) featuring a two-wire I²C compatible serial interface. It supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz across a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology with maximum active read current of 1 mA and standby current of 1 µA at industrial temperatures. It includes a 16-byte page write buffer, hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. The component is housed in an 8-Lead PDIP package and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm the specific revision level against the latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with existing designs. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or material composition updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 MHz I²C interface is required compared to slower 400 kHz alternatives. Ensure the system operates within the 1.7V to 5.5V supply range. Consider the 8-PDIP package if through-hole mounting is necessary for the application environment. Verify that the industrial temperature range meets the operational requirements.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX08 family of 8-Kbit serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA08 and 24LC08B but offers higher speed capabilities. The family provides various package options including SOIC, MSOP, and DFN variants alongside the PDIP.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC08 variants with different packages such as 24FC08-I/SN or 24FC08-I/ST. Cross-family replacements like 24LC08B are possible but limited to 400 kHz speeds.
