24LC02BHT-I/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC02BHT-I/MNY is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) featuring a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device includes hardware write-protect functionality for the upper half of the memory array (addresses 80h-FFh) via the WP pin. It utilizes low-power CMOS technology, offering a maximum read current of 1 mA and standby current of 1 µA. The component is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability for the upper half of the memory array
• Low-power CMOS design with minimal active and standby currents
• Schmitt trigger inputs on SDA and SCL pins for noise suppression
• Output slope control designed to eliminate ground bounce effects

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in sensor modules
• Parameter backup in battery-operated devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix correctly identifies the MSOP package and Industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the specific lot traceability codes match project requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to validate electrical characteristics against current design specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount EEPROM with dedicated hardware write protection is required. The MSOP package suits applications with strict space constraints. Verify that the system voltage remains above 2.5V to ensure proper operation at the specified 400 kHz clock rate. Consider the page write buffer size for efficient data management strategies.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX02H family of 2 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The 'I' designation indicates an industrial temperature range, while 'MNY' specifies the 8-lead MSOP package configuration. The 'BH' suffix denotes the inclusion of half-array write-protect features compared to standard variants.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 24LC02BH variants with different package options such as SOIC or TSSOP, provided pin compatibility and thermal ratings are verified.
