24LC04BT-I/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC04BT-I/MS is a 4-Kbit (512 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring 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 utilizes an MSOP-8 surface-mount package and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum access time of 900 ns, a write cycle time of 5 ms, and standby current of 5 µA.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports page write operations with a 16-byte buffer for efficient data transfer
• Includes hardware write protection via the WP pin to inhibit memory writes
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile storage for configuration data
• Industrial control units needing reliable parameter retention
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-power serial communication protocols

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the MSOP-8 package and Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the voltage range requirement aligns with the 2.5V minimum specification for the 24LC04B series. Ensure compatibility with the host system's I²C bus timing constraints before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4-Kbit capacity is required with strict adherence to the 2.5V to 5.5V operating voltage window. The MSOP-8 package is suitable for space-constrained printed circuit board designs. Consider the 400 kHz maximum clock speed and 5 ms write cycle duration when designing application software timing sequences.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC04B family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24AA04 and 24FC04 devices but differs in operating voltage and maximum clock frequency specifications. The 'I' designation indicates the industrial temperature rating, while 'MS' identifies the specific MSOP-8 physical package type.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC04BT-E/SNG serves as a direct replacement option if extended temperature operation or an SOIC-8 package is required instead of the MSOP-8 form factor.
