24LC08BT-I/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC08BT-I/SN is an 8-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) organized as four blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz via a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols. The device features a maximum access time of 900 ns and a page write time of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package and is rated for industrial operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional, two-wire data transmission protocol with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression.
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality controlled by the WP pin to inhibit write operations when tied to VCC.
• Features output slope control designed to eliminate ground bounce during signal transitions.
• Provides acknowledge polling capability to determine when internal write cycles are complete.

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging applications requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded systems
• Device identification and calibration data retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm the specific revision level against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with existing designs. Check for any recent product change notices regarding assembly sites or materials that may affect qualification.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power EEPROM with I2C connectivity. Ensure the system voltage remains within the 2.5V to 5.5V range. Consider the 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data writing. Verify that the SOIC package dimensions fit the available PCB space and that the industrial temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC08B series of 8-Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional characteristics with other members of the 24XX08 family, such as the 24AA08 and 24FC08, but differs in minimum operating voltage and maximum clock speed specifications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 24LC08B variants with different packages, such as 24LC08BT-I/MS or 24LC08BT-I/MC. Cross-family substitutes like 24AA08 or 24FC08 require verification of voltage and speed compatibility.
