24LC024T-E/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024T-E/MNY is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C-compatible interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features hardware write protection via the WP pin, a 16-byte page write buffer, and Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression. It is housed in an 8-lead TDFN package and rated for an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection enabled by tying the WP pin to VCC
• 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data storage operations
• Schmitt trigger inputs with output slope control for noise immunity

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring non-volatile data retention at high temperatures
• Embedded controllers needing compact surface-mount memory solutions
• I²C bus networks requiring cascaded addressable devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm the presence of the hardware write-protect pin functionality if security against accidental writes is critical for the application design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an automotive-grade temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) is required alongside a low-profile TDFN footprint. Ensure the system power supply remains within the 2.5V to 5.5V operational limits to maintain reliable I²C communication performance.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC024 series of 2-Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA024 but differs in its minimum operating voltage requirements and specific package availability options within the broader product family.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC024 variants such as 24LC024-E/MC or 24LC024-E/ST, provided they match the required temperature rating and package dimensions.
