24LC024HT-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024HT-E/MS is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device supports hardware write protection for the upper half of the array via the WP pin and includes Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and rated for extended industrial temperature ranges.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection for the upper half of the memory array
• Low-power CMOS technology with high endurance
• I²C compatible serial interface with up to eight devices per bus

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Automotive electronics operating in extended temperature environments
• Embedded systems needing configuration parameter retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, temperature grade, and tape/reel specifications. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free manufacturing standards. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the system's voltage and interface requirements before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an I²C serial EEPROM with 1 MHz speed capability is required for automotive or industrial applications. The 'E' designation indicates suitability for extended temperature ranges, while the 'HT' suffix specifies reel packaging. Verify that the 2.5 V minimum supply voltage meets the target system's power constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24AA024H/24LC024H family of 2 Kbit serial EEPROMs. The 'LC' variant specifically supports higher clock frequencies compared to standard versions. The device utilizes a single-block organization and is designed for low-power operation in space-constrained surface-mount applications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 24LC024 variants within the same family, such as 24LC024-I/MS for industrial temperature ranges or 24LC024-E/MC for different package options. Ensure electrical characteristics and pinouts match before substitution.
