24LC01BT-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC01BT-I/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM featuring a 2-wire I²C compatible serial interface. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device includes an 8-byte page write buffer, hardware write-protect functionality via the WP pin, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional 2-wire serial data transmission with I²C compatibility
• Includes hardware write-protect capability to inhibit memory writes
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for signal integrity

Memory IC Applications

• Non-volatile data storage in embedded systems
• Configuration parameter retention in consumer electronics
• Device identification and calibration data logging

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 'MS' denotes the 8-lead MSOP package. Confirm the specific datasheet revision matches the required electrical characteristics, as parameters may vary between document updates. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the target assembly process.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pin-count non-volatile memory solution is required for small data sets. The 24LC01B series is suitable for applications needing simple I²C integration without complex address decoding. Consider the 8-byte page write buffer for efficient data writing operations. Verify that the 2.5V minimum operating voltage aligns with the system power rails.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX01 family of 1 Kbit Serial EEPROMs, which also includes the 24AA01 and 24FC01 variants. These devices share similar functional architectures but differ in operating voltage ranges and maximum clock speeds. The 24LC01B specifically targets standard 2.5V to 5.5V logic systems, distinguishing it from the lower-voltage 24AA01 and high-speed 24FC01 models.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC01B variants in different packages such as 24LC01B-I/SN or 24LC01B-I/P. Cross-family replacements like 24AA01 require verification of the 1.7V minimum voltage support.
