24LC01BT-I/MC

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC01BT-I/MC is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) utilizing an I²C compatible 2-wire serial interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device features hardware write protection, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control. It supports page writes up to 8 bytes and offers over one million erase/write cycles with data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression
• Output slope control designed to eliminate ground bounce
• Self-timed erase and write cycle mechanism

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial environments
• Configuration storage for embedded systems
• Parameter memory in consumer electronics
• Asset tracking identification modules

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MC' corresponds to the 8-Lead DFN package configuration as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm that the 'I' designation matches the required Industrial temperature range specifications for your application environment. Ensure compatibility with the 2.5V minimum operating voltage requirement before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount footprint is required alongside standard I²C communication protocols. It is suitable for designs needing robust noise immunity through Schmitt triggers. Consider the 8-byte page write buffer for efficient data throughput. Verify that the system power supply remains within the specified 2.5V to 5.5V operational window.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX01 family of 1 Kbit Serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family includes variants like the 24AA01 and 24FC01, which differ primarily in voltage ranges and clock speeds. The 24LC01B specifically targets applications requiring operation down to 2.5V, distinguishing it from lower-voltage or higher-speed counterparts within the same product line.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC01B variants in different packages such as SOIC or TSSOP. Cross-reference with 24AA01 models if lower voltage operation below 2.5V is needed, noting the interface compatibility.
