24LC04BT-E/SN16KVAO

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC04BT-E/SN16KVAO is a 4-Kbit (512 x 8) serial EEPROM utilizing an I²C-compatible two-wire interface. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device features a maximum access time of 900 ns, a page write buffer for 16 bytes, and a maximum write cycle time of 5 ms. It is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards and functions reliably in extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• AEC-Q100 automotive qualification for reliable operation in demanding environments
• Hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin to secure memory data
• Integrated Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial equipment operating in high-temperature conditions
• Consumer electronics needing low-power persistent memory

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN16KVAO' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and automotive compliance status. Ensure the Extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125V) matches your system requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance and check for any recent Product Change Notifications that may affect availability or specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive reliability and extended temperature performance are required. The 2.5V minimum supply voltage distinguishes it from lower-voltage variants like the 24AA04. The SOIC-8 package offers standard surface-mount compatibility. Verify that the 400 kHz bus speed meets your system's timing constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC04B family of 4-Kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares core architecture with the 24AA04 and 24FC04 but differs in voltage ranges and bus speeds. The 'E' designation indicates the extended temperature grade, while 'SN' specifies the SOIC package. The '16KVAO' suffix denotes automotive qualification and specific ordering attributes.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 24LC04B variants with matching temperature grades and packages. Cross-reference with 24AA04 or 24FC04 only if voltage and speed requirements align. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement maintains AEC-Q100 certification if used in automotive applications.
