24LC024T-I/MNY16KVAO

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC024T-I/MNY16KVAO is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It features a 2-wire I²C compatible interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and supports industrial temperature grades from -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes low-power CMOS technology, offering typical standby current of 1 μA and active read current of 1 mA. The component includes hardware write protection, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports cascading up to eight devices on the same bus for contiguous addressing expansion.
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality via the WP pin to secure data integrity.
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and filter circuits for enhanced noise spike suppression.

Memory IC Applications

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

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '16KVAO' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and marking details. Ensure compatibility with the 2.5V to 5.5V operating range and I²C bus requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing lot.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring non-volatile storage with I²C connectivity. Consider the 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data writing. Verify that the system voltage remains within the specified 2.5V to 5.5V range to ensure proper operation and data retention.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC024 series of 2 Kbit Serial EEPROMs. It shares functional characteristics with other members like the 24AA024 and 24LC025, differing primarily in voltage ranges and write-protect availability. The TDFN package offers a compact surface-mount solution suitable for space-constrained designs.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC024 variants with different packages such as 24LC024-I/SN or 24LC024-E/MC. Cross-brand alternatives like STMicroelectronics M24C02 may require voltage level adjustments due to lower minimum operating voltages.
