24VL024T/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24VL024T/MNY is a 2 Kbit (256 x 8) serial electrically erasable PROM 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 includes hardware write protection for the entire array, supports page writes of up to 16 bytes, and offers more than 1 million erase/write cycles with data retention exceeding 200 years. It is housed in an 8-pin TDFN package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write protection for the entire memory array via the WP pin
• Page write buffer supporting up to 16 bytes per cycle
• Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Low-power embedded systems requiring non-volatile storage
• I2C bus expansion using cascaded devices
• Data logging applications demanding high endurance

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MNY' corresponds to the 8-TDFN(2x3) package configuration. Confirm that the hardware write protection feature is active, as this distinguishes the 24VL024 variant from the unprotected 24VL025 series. Ensure compatibility with the target system's I2C voltage levels and bus timing requirements.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for small-scale non-volatile data storage. The low operating voltage range makes it suitable for battery-powered applications. Consider the hardware write protection capability if security against accidental overwrites is necessary for the application environment.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24VL024/24VL025 family of 2 Kbit Serial EEPROMs. It shares core electrical specifications with other members of the series but differs in packaging options and specific features like write protection availability. The TDFN package provides a space-efficient footprint for modern PCB designs.
