24LC01BH-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC01BH-I/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 400 kHz. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, ensuring active read current remains at or below 1 mA and standby current at or below 1 μA. It offers high endurance with over one million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability for the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin
• Schmitt trigger inputs on SDA and SCL lines for enhanced noise suppression
• Output slope control mechanism designed to eliminate ground bounce effects
• Page write functionality allowing storage of up to 8 bytes in a single operation

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Embedded controllers needing compact serial memory solutions
• Automotive electronics operating within specified temperature ranges
• Low-power portable devices utilizing I²C communication protocols

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix correctly identifies the MSOP package type and Industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free material specifications against the latest manufacturer documentation. Ensure the specific revision matches the required datasheet version for accurate electrical timing parameters.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint is required alongside hardware-level write protection for critical data segments. The MSOP package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the system voltage does not drop below 2.5V to maintain the specified 400 kHz clock frequency performance.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA01H/24LC01BH family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with other members but differs in voltage thresholds and package options. The 'I' suffix denotes the Industrial temperature range, while 'MS' specifies the Mini Small Outline Package configuration.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with 24LC01BHT-I/MS for identical functionality in the same package. Consider 24LC01BH-I/SN if a standard SOIC footprint is preferred instead of MSOP.
