24LC08BT-E/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC08BT-E/MS is an 8-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols, supporting maximum clock frequencies of 100 kHz at voltages below 2.5V and 400 kHz at 2.5V to 5.5V. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and extended ranges up to +125°C. It includes hardware write protection via the WP pin and offers data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability allows inhibition of write operations when the WP pin is tied to VCC, while read operations remain unaffected.
• Schmitt trigger inputs and filter circuits on SCL and SDA lines suppress noise spikes to ensure reliable operation on noisy buses.
• Page write buffer enables storage of up to 16 bytes of data before initiating an internal self-timed write cycle.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial monitoring systems
• Configuration storage for embedded controllers
• Parameter retention in automotive electronics

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix corresponds to the MSOP package type and Extended temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific automotive AEC-Q100 qualification requirements if applicable to the target application environment.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring non-volatile storage with low power consumption and robust noise immunity. Ensure the system voltage remains within the 2.5V to 5.5V operating range to maintain specified timing parameters and current limits.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC08B series of 8-Kbit serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA08 and 24FC08 devices but differs in minimum operating voltage and maximum clock frequency specifications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 8-Kbit I2C EEPROMs from the same family such as the 24LC08BT-I/MS for industrial temperature grades or variants with different package options like SOIC or TSSOP.
