24LC01BH-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC01BH-E/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM featuring a 2-wire I2C compatible serial interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and supports maximum clock frequencies of 100 kHz at lower voltages and 400 kHz at standard operating levels. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, ensuring high endurance with over one million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability for half-array protection via the WP pin
• Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression and ground bounce elimination
• Page write functionality allowing up to 8 bytes of data transfer in a single operation
• High ESD protection rating exceeding 4,000V across all pins

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control applications needing reliable parameter logging
• Automotive electronics demanding extended temperature range performance
• Low-power portable devices utilizing I2C communication protocols

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the 'E' designation aligns with automotive-grade specifications if operating in high-temperature environments. Ensure compatibility with the target system's I2C bus voltage levels and pull-up resistor requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when hardware-level write protection for specific memory regions is required. Choose this part for designs necessitating operation within an extended industrial or automotive temperature range. Consider this device for applications where low standby current consumption and high durability against frequent write cycles are critical design constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24AA01H/24LC01BH family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the series but is distinguished by its specific voltage range and package configuration. The MSOP suffix indicates an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package suitable for surface-mount assembly.
