BR24C01-RMN6TP

Memory IC Overview

The BR24C01-RMN6TP is a 1-kbit (128 x 8) I2C bus EEPROM manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 kHz. The device features a 3.5 µs access time and consumes a maximum active read current of 800 µA. It is designed for surface mount installation in an 8-pin SOP package, with data retention specified at 40 years. The component functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard I2C bus communication protocol with two-wire interface
• Provides non-volatile data storage with long-term retention capabilities
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range suitable for various logic levels

Memory IC Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring small-scale data logging
• Industrial control systems storing configuration parameters
• Embedded devices needing persistent memory for calibration data

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RMN6TP against the official ROHM datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm end-of-life or not-recommended-for-new-designs status if integrating into new products. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow profiles before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-kbit capacity is sufficient for application requirements. Consider the 100 kHz speed limit and 800 µA current consumption against system power budgets. Verify that the 8-pin SOP package fits the available board space and manufacturing constraints compared to alternative packages like MSOP or DFN.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the BR24C0x series of I2C EEPROMs from ROHM. It shares architectural similarities with higher-density variants such as the BR24C02 and BR24T64FVM-W, differing primarily in storage capacity and potentially package options. The series is designed for low-power, serial data storage applications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the BR24H64FVM-5AC, which offers similar pinout and I2C interface but differs in density and temperature range. Other generic I2C EEPROMs may require software adaptation due to potential command set variations.
