24LC024HT-I/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024HT-I/MNY is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C interface. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz, with a maximum access time of 400 ns. The device features 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-TDFN package and rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection enables selective locking of the upper memory half (addresses 80h-FFh) by connecting the WP pin to VCC.
• Integrated Schmitt triggers on SDA and SCL pins provide enhanced noise spike suppression for reliable data transmission.
• Supports page write operations allowing up to 16 bytes to be buffered and written simultaneously upon receiving a Stop condition.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage for sensor readings or event timestamps
• Configuration storage for microcontrollers and embedded processors
• Calibration data retention in industrial control equipment

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm the voltage range requirements align with the 2.5V minimum specification for the LC variant. Ensure the design accommodates the 8-TDFN footprint and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly locations or materials.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed 1 MHz communication is necessary compared to standard 400 kHz devices. The 2.5V minimum operating voltage distinguishes it from lower-voltage variants like the 24AA series. Consider the TDFN package size constraints and ensure adequate thermal management for the intended application environment.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC024H family of serial EEPROMs. It shares functional similarities with other members like the 24LC024T-I/MNY but differs in speed capabilities and specific package configurations. The 'HT' designation typically indicates a specific tape and reel packaging format optimized for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC024T-I/MNY serves as a direct functional substitute within the same package and electrical specifications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and ensure that any alternative components maintain the 1 MHz clock frequency support and identical voltage ranges.
