24VL014/SN

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24VL014/SN is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.5 V to 3.6 V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz via a 2-wire I²C compatible interface. The device features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression, hardware write protection for the entire array, and a page write buffer capable of holding up to 16 bytes. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports low-voltage operation down to 1.5V with low standby and active current consumption.
• Includes hardware write protection that secures the entire memory array when enabled.
• Features a page write buffer allowing efficient storage of up to 16 bytes per cycle.

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Low-power consumer electronics
• Industrial control devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN' corresponds to the 8-pin SOIC package and industrial temperature range (-20°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering quantity matches the manufacturer's standard tube packaging requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm pinout compatibility.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring operation at voltages as low as 1.5V. Ensure the system design accommodates the 400 kHz maximum clock speed. Verify that the required memory organization fits the 128 x 8 bit structure and that the 8-pin SOIC footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24VL014 family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family utilizes CMOS technology for low power consumption and includes various package options such as PDIP, TSSOP, MSOP, and SOT-23. The /SN suffix specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC variant.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include the 24VL014/P (PDIP), 24VL014/MS (MSOP), and 24VL014/TDFN (TDFN). These parts share identical electrical specifications and functionality but differ in physical package dimensions and mounting style.
