24LC00-I/P

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC00-I/P is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I2C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology with typical active current of 500 µA and standby current of 100 nA. It offers over 1 million erase/write cycles, data retention exceeding 200 years, and ESD protection greater than 4000V. The component is housed in an 8-lead PDIP package and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional 2-wire serial communication protocol compatible with I2C bus standards
• Includes Schmitt trigger inputs and noise filtering for enhanced signal integrity on noisy buses
• Features self-timed erase/write cycles with automatic acknowledge polling capability
• Incorporates output slope control mechanisms to eliminate ground bounce effects

Memory IC Applications

• Storage of calibration values requiring small non-volatile memory capacity
• Retention of unique identification numbers for device tracking
• Recording manufacturing information during production processes

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the voltage specifications align with the target system's power supply rails. Ensure compatibility with the host controller's I2C bus timing requirements. Check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a minimal 128-bit storage solution is sufficient for application needs. Consider the 8-pin PDIP form factor for through-hole mounting requirements. Evaluate the 400 kHz maximum clock speed against system throughput demands. Verify that the 2.5V minimum operating voltage meets the lowest expected supply condition.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX00 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family includes variants such as the 24AA00 and 24C00, which share similar interface protocols but differ in voltage ranges and temperature specifications. The 24LC00 specifically targets industrial applications requiring reliable operation at standard logic levels.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the 24LC00 series with different package options, such as 24LC00-I/SN or 24LC00-I/ST. Cross-family replacements like the 24AA00 require verification of voltage level compatibility.
