24LC08BHT-I/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC08BHT-I/SN 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 with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device features a 2-Wire Serial Interface compatible with I2C, utilizing Schmitt Trigger inputs for noise suppression and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce. It supports page write operations with a 16-byte buffer and includes hardware write-protect capabilities for half the array. The component is designed for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability for half-array protection
• Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression
• Output slope control to minimize ground bounce effects

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial data logging systems
• Embedded controller configuration storage
• Consumer electronics parameter retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/SN' against official datasheets to confirm the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and SOIC-8 package type. Ensure compatibility with the required 2.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range. Confirm that the half-array write-protect feature aligns with system security requirements before finalizing procurement specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a reliable non-volatile memory solution is needed for storing calibration data or user settings in space-constrained designs. The SOIC-8 package offers a compact surface-mount footprint suitable for high-density PCB layouts. Consider the 400 kHz interface speed if faster data throughput is required compared to standard 100 kHz EEPROMs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC08BH family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but is distinguished by its specific voltage range and package configuration. The 'SN' suffix denotes the SOIC-8 package, while 'I' indicates the industrial temperature rating.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 24LC08 variants with matching pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that substitute parts support the same 2.5V minimum operating voltage and I2C protocol compatibility.
