24LC00/S

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC00/S is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I2C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V with typical active current of 500 µA and standby current of 100 nA. The device supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz, features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and offers data retention exceeding 200 years with over one million erase/write cycles.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Low-power CMOS technology enabling operation down to 2.5V
• I2C compatible 2-wire serial interface with noise suppression
• Hardware protection against ground bounce via output slope control

Memory IC Applications

• Storage of calibration values
• Storage of ID numbers
• Storage of manufacturing information

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix required for your design, as 'S' typically denotes SOIC-8 but confirm against the manufacturer's official datasheet for exact mechanical dimensions and marking codes. Ensure the selected variant matches the required industrial temperature range and voltage specifications before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small amount of non-volatile memory is needed for simple data storage tasks. It is suitable for applications requiring low power consumption and robust noise immunity in noisy bus environments. Consider the 24AA00 variant if operation below 2.5V is required.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX00 family of 128-bit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family includes variants like 24AA00 and 24C00, which differ primarily in operating voltage ranges and temperature grades. All share the same basic architecture and I2C protocol compatibility.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include 24LC00T-I/SN (tape and reel version) or 24LC00-I/P (PDIP package). Cross-family replacements like 24LC024 offer higher capacity but require software adaptation.
