24LC02BT-E/SN16KVAO

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC02BT-E/SN16KVAO is a 2-Kbit (256 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, as well as extended ranges up to +125°C. The device includes hardware write protection, an 8-byte page write buffer, and self-timed erase/write cycles. It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive reliability standards
• Hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• 8-byte page write buffer for efficient data transfer
• Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring non-volatile memory
• Industrial control devices operating in harsh environments
• Consumer electronics needing low-power data storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '16KVAO' against official Microchip documentation to confirm its exact meaning regarding packaging or traceability. Ensure the component meets the required AEC-Q100 qualification level for your application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with your design specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when automotive-grade reliability is required alongside standard I²C communication. The extended temperature range makes it suitable for demanding environments. Consider the 8-byte page buffer size for write optimization. Verify that the supply voltage falls within the 2.5V to 5.5V operational window.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24LC02B series of 2-Kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares core functionality with other variants like 24LC02BT-I/SN but differs in temperature rating and automotive qualification. The 'E' indicates extended temperature support, while 'SN' denotes the 8-lead SOIC package.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 24LC02BT-I/SN for industrial temperature only, or 24LC02B-E/SN for non-automotive extended temperature use. Verify package compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
