24LC00T-I/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC00T-I/OT is a 128-bit (16 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing 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 features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, output slope control to eliminate ground bounce, and ESD protection exceeding 4000V. It is housed in an 8-lead OT package and rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Low-power CMOS technology with typical active current of 500 µA and standby current of 100 nA
• I²C compatible 2-wire serial interface with support for 100 kHz and 400 kHz clock speeds
• Schmitt trigger inputs provide enhanced noise spike suppression on SDA and SCL pins
• Self-timed erase/write cycles with acknowledge polling capability

Memory IC Applications

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

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'OT' corresponds to the required 8-lead package configuration as defined in the datasheet. Confirm that the 'I' temperature grade meets the operational environmental requirements of the target application. Ensure the design accounts for the 2.5V minimum operating voltage specified for the 24LC00 series.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small amount of non-volatile memory is required for applications such as storing calibration data or identification codes. The 24LC00T-I/OT is suitable for designs needing low power consumption and robust noise immunity via Schmitt triggers. Consider the 128-bit capacity and page write timing when designing the system bus protocol.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX00 family of 128-bit serial EEPROMs, which includes the 24AA00 and 24C00 variants. While sharing the same interface and functional architecture, the 24LC00 variant is distinguished by its 2.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range, unlike the 1.8V capable 24AA00 or the 4.5V minimum 24C00.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC00T-I/SN serves as a pin-compatible alternative in an SOIC-8 package. Other members of the 24LC00 family, such as the 24LC00T-I/MNY in TDFN-8, offer different form factors but maintain identical electrical characteristics and functionality.
