24LC00T-I/MC

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC00T-I/MC is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial Electrically Erasable PROM 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, ensuring typical active read current of 500 µA and standby current of 100 nA. It is housed in an 8-lead DFN package and rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional data transfer via a standard 2-wire serial bus protocol with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression.
• Includes output slope control mechanisms designed to eliminate ground bounce during signal transitions.
• Features self-timed erase/write cycles that automatically terminate without requiring external timing signals.
• Provides hardware-level ESD protection exceeding 4000V on all pins.

Memory IC Applications

• Storage of calibration values in electronic systems
• Retention of unique identification numbers
• Recording manufacturing information and traceability data

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MC' corresponds to the 8-lead DFN package configuration required for your design. Confirm the 'I' designation matches the industrial temperature range specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix aligns with the tape and reel packaging format needed for automated assembly processes.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a minimal non-volatile memory footprint is sufficient for storing small datasets such as IDs or settings. It is appropriate for designs utilizing standard I2C buses where low power consumption is critical. Consider the DFN package dimensions against available PCB space constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX00 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes variants like the 24AA00 and 24C00. These devices share identical pinouts and functional protocols but differ in operating voltage ranges and specific package options. The 24LC00 variant specifically targets applications requiring a minimum 2.5V supply.
