24FC08T-I/Q4B

Memory IC Overview

The 24FC08T-I/Q4B is an 8-kbit (1K x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a two-wire I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V and supports surface-mount installation in an 8-UDFN package. It is designed for industrial temperature applications, functioning reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication at up to 1 MHz
• Operates across a wide voltage range from 1.7 V to 5.5 V
• Provides non-volatile data retention suitable for long-term storage

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring parameter storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration data retention
• Automotive modules utilizing standard I²C interfaces

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/Q4B' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target system's I²C bus voltage levels before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and current production status.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-kbit capacity is required alongside a compact 8-UDFN footprint. It is appropriate for designs needing robust operation across varying supply voltages without level shifting. Consider the 1 MHz speed limit when designing for high-throughput data logging scenarios compared to faster SPI alternatives.

Memory IC Part Context

This EEPROM belongs to the 24FCxx family of serial memories from Microchip Technology. The family is characterized by its compatibility with standard I²C protocols and low-power consumption profiles. These devices are commonly used as secondary storage for small datasets in embedded environments where space and power efficiency are critical constraints.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same 8-kbit I²C EEPROM category include other Microchip variants such as the 24LC08 series or equivalent parts from STMicroelectronics like the 24C08, provided interface timing and voltage tolerances match the design requirements.
