24VL014HT/MS

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24VL014HT/MS is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.5V to 3.6V and supports I²C™ compatible 2-wire serial interfaces with maximum clock frequencies of 100 kHz at voltages below 1.8V, and 400 kHz at voltages between 1.8V and 3.6V. The device features hardware write protection for half the array, page write buffers up to 16 bytes, and low-power CMOS technology with standby currents as low as 1 μA.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection capability that secures the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin
• Low-power CMOS design enabling operation down to 1.5V with minimal active and standby current consumption
• Integrated Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control to suppress noise spikes and eliminate ground bounce

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage for configuration parameters
• Battery-powered devices utilizing low-voltage operation and standby power modes
• Multi-device bus architectures expanding contiguous address space using chip select pins

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'T/MS' confirms the MSOP-8 surface mount package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm RoHS compliance and Pb-free status by checking the manufacturer's official documentation or marking information. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature range and voltage specifications for the target application environment.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 Kbit EEPROM with half-array hardware write protection is required. It is suitable for applications needing I²C communication with low voltage operation down to 1.5V. Consider the MSOP-8 package for compact surface-mount designs. Verify compatibility with system voltage levels and bus speed requirements before integration.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24VL014H family of 1 Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family offers various package options including PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP, TDFN, and MSOP. All variants share identical electrical characteristics and functional descriptions, differing primarily in physical packaging and shipping formats.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include 24LC014H and 24AA014H series devices. These alternatives offer similar 1 Kbit capacity and I²C interface but may differ in operating voltage ranges, write protection features, or package availability. Verify electrical specifications and pinout compatibility before substitution.
