24LC014H-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC014H-E/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 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 1 MHz. The device utilizes MSOP-8 surface-mount packaging and is rated for extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum active current of 400 μA, standby current of 1 μA, and write cycle time of 5 ms.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection enables selective locking of the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin.
• Integrated page write buffer allows efficient storage of up to 16 bytes in a single operation.
• Schmitt trigger inputs with noise suppression ensure reliable data transmission on noisy bus environments.

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile parameter storage
• Industrial control units needing high endurance memory
• Automotive electronics operating under extreme temperature conditions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the system's voltage and interface requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an I2C interface and extended temperature range are required. The 'E' suffix indicates automotive-grade reliability suitable for harsh environments. Verify that the 1 MHz clock speed meets the system's timing constraints and that the MSOP package fits the available PCB footprint.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC014H family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA014H but differs in minimum operating voltage. The device is designed for applications requiring robust data retention and low power consumption in compact surface-mount configurations.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC014H variants with different packages such as SOIC or TSSOP. Cross-referencing with the 24AA014H series is possible if lower voltage operation is not critical. Always verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
