24LC014T-I/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC014T-I/SN is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and supports I²C™ compatible 2-wire serial interfaces with clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features hardware write protection, a page write buffer for up to 16 bytes, and self-timed write cycles with a maximum duration of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package and is rated for industrial operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional data transfer via a standard 2-wire I²C serial interface
• Includes hardware write protection controlled by the WP pin to inhibit array writes
• Features a page write buffer allowing sequential storage of up to 16 bytes per cycle

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in sensor modules

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 'SN' denotes the 8-lead SOIC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the specific revision level matches the design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 Kbit capacity is sufficient for application needs. The 24LC014T-I/SN is suitable for designs requiring hardware write protection and operation within the 2.5V to 5.5V voltage range. Consider the 400 kHz clock speed for bus timing constraints and verify that the SOIC package dimensions fit the printed circuit board layout.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA014/24LC014 family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The 'LC' designation indicates a voltage range starting at 2.5V, distinguishing it from the 'AA' variant which supports lower voltages down to 1.7V. The 'T' suffix typically indicates tape and reel packaging availability.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC014-I/SN serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics and pinout. Verify package compatibility and temperature grade specifications when substituting.
