24VL014T/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24VL014T/OT is a 1 Kbit (128 x 8) serial EEPROM featuring an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.5V to 3.6V, with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, drawing a maximum active current of 400 μA and standby current of 1 μA. It includes hardware write protection for the entire array via the WP pin, supports page writes up to 16 bytes, and offers over one million erase/write cycles with data retention exceeding 200 years.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional 2-wire serial communication compatible with standard I²C protocols
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression and ground bounce elimination
• Includes hardware write protection capability controlled by the WP pin to secure memory arrays
• Provides cascading functionality allowing connection of up to eight devices on a single bus

Memory IC Applications

• Low-voltage embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial applications utilizing I²C bus architectures
• Portable electronic devices powered by single-supply batteries
• Systems requiring hardware-level write protection for critical data

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the base part number covers multiple physical formats. Confirm the temperature grade aligns with operational requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target system's I²C voltage levels and pull-up resistor configurations. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material updates.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 Kbit capacity is sufficient for application needs. Choose based on the required physical package style, such as TDFN or MSOP, rather than electrical differences. Consider the operating voltage range if the system operates below 1.8V, as clock speed limitations apply. Evaluate the need for hardware write protection features provided by the WP pin.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24VL014 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family shares identical electrical characteristics and functional logic across various packaging options. The 'T' in the model number indicates tape and reel packaging, while '/OT' specifies the particular surface-mount package variant selected for this configuration.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include 24VL014T/MNY, 24VL014T/MS, and 24VL014/SN. These parts share identical electrical specifications and pinouts but differ in physical package dimensions. Verify that the replacement package fits the available PCB footprint before substitution.
