24LC08BHT-E/ST

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC08BHT-E/ST is an 8 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and features a 2-Wire Serial Interface compatible with I²C™ protocols. The device supports maximum clock frequencies of 400 kHz within the specified voltage range. It includes hardware write-protect capabilities for half the array, Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect functionality allows locking the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin.
• Schmitt trigger inputs provide enhanced noise suppression for reliable data transmission.
• Output slope control minimizes ground bounce effects during high-speed switching operations.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring robust data retention in noisy environments
• Automotive electronics operating under extended temperature conditions
• Embedded controllers needing non-volatile storage for configuration parameters

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix corresponds to the Automotive temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) and the TSSOP-8 package type. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure the specific revision matches the required datasheet version. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive-grade reliability and extended temperature operation are mandatory. The 24LC08BHT-E/ST is suitable for applications demanding half-array write protection and low-power CMOS technology. Ensure the system design accommodates the 2.5 V minimum supply voltage requirement and utilizes appropriate pull-up resistors for the I²C bus interface.

Memory IC Part Context

This device belongs to the 24LC08BH family of 8 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA08H but differs in minimum operating voltage specifications. The family supports multiple package options including TSSOP, MSOP, and SOT-23, catering to diverse surface-mount assembly requirements across various electronic industries.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC08BH variants with different temperature grades or packages, such as 24LC08BHT-I/ST for industrial use. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
