24LC014HT-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC014HT-I/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz in the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). The device features hardware write protection for half the array, a 16-byte page write buffer, and low-power CMOS technology with maximum active current of 400 μA and standby current of 1 μA.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection enables selective locking of the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin.
• Integrated 16-byte page write buffer allows efficient sequential data storage operations.
• Schmitt trigger inputs provide noise suppression and improved signal integrity on the bus.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial control systems
• Configuration storage for embedded microcontrollers
• Parameter retention in consumer electronics

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the MSOP package type and Industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure the specific revision level aligns with design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 Kbit capacity with high-speed 1 MHz I²C support is required. It is suitable for designs needing hardware write protection and low standby power consumption. Verify compatibility with system voltage levels between 2.5V and 5.5V.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA014H/24LC014H family of 1 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. It shares functional characteristics with other members of the series but differs in operating voltage ranges and package options. The 'I' designation indicates the Industrial temperature grade.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC014H variants with different packages such as TSSOP or SOIC. Cross-reference with 24AA014H if lower voltage operation down to 1.7V is needed, noting the interface compatibility differences.
