24LC024T-I/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024T-I/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 400 kHz, with a typical access time of 900 ns. The device is housed in an 8-TDFN (2x3) package and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports cascading up to eight devices on the same bus for contiguous memory expansion.
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality via the WP pin.
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression and ground bounce elimination.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial data logging systems
• Embedded configuration storage
• Parameter retention in consumer electronics

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'MNY' suffix matches the required 8-TDFN (2x3) surface-mount package. Ensure the specific variant aligns with the 2.5V minimum supply voltage requirement rather than the 1.7V range found in other series members.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact TDFN footprint is required alongside standard I²C compatibility. The Industrial grade rating ensures reliability in environments exceeding commercial limits. Verify that the 2.5V minimum operating voltage is compatible with the system's power rails, as lower-voltage variants exist within the broader product family.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC024 series of 2-Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA024 and 24LC025 but is distinguished by its specific voltage requirements and package type. The series utilizes low-power CMOS technology to minimize active and standby currents.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC024 variants such as 24LC024-E/MNY or 24LC024-I/SN, provided the package and temperature grade match the design requirements.
