24LC024HT-E/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024HT-E/MNY is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C interface. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. The device features a page write buffer for up to 16 bytes, hardware write protection for the upper half of the array, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It is housed in an 8-TDFN package and rated for extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection enables selective locking of the upper memory half via the WP pin.
• Integrated Schmitt triggers and output slope control enhance signal integrity and reduce ground bounce.
• Supports acknowledge polling to optimize bus throughput during internal write cycles.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Parameter retention in automotive electronics

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HT' against official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure the 'E' designation matches the required extended temperature range specifications for your application environment before finalizing orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 Kbit capacity with high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication is required. It is suitable for designs needing robust noise immunity through Schmitt triggers and physical write protection for critical data segments without software overhead.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA024H/24LC024H family of serial EEPROMs. While sharing core architecture with the standard 24LC024H, the 'HT' suffix indicates specific packaging or handling attributes, and the 'E' suffix denotes the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C).

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC024H variants with compatible packages such as MSOP-8 or TSSOP-8, provided they meet the 2.5V-5.5V supply and 1 MHz speed requirements.
