FT24C02A-KPR-T

Overview

The FT24C02A-KPR-T is a serial Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It provides a storage capacity of 2048 bits, organized as 1K x 8 words. The device utilizes a Two-Wire Serial Interface for communication. It operates within a supply voltage range that supports low-power applications, with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz at higher voltages and 400 kHz at lower voltages. The component is housed in a TSOT-23 package with five pins.

Feature Summary

• Supports standard Two-Wire Serial Interface protocol for data transmission.
• Features hardware write protection to prevent accidental data modification.
• Includes internal power-on reset circuitry for reliable initialization.

Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control systems needing parameter retention
• Automotive modules for configuration memory

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KPR-T against official Fremont Micro Devices documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the operating voltage requirements match your system design, as performance varies between 1.7V and 5.5V ranges. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current product compliance declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 2K-bit EEPROM solution is required for I2C-compatible buses. Consider the TSOT-23 package size if board space is limited. Evaluate the 1 MHz clock speed capability if high-speed data transfer is necessary at sufficient supply voltages. Compare against similar 24C02 series devices from other manufacturers for pin compatibility and voltage tolerance alignment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C0x family of serial EEPROMs, which includes variants like FT24C04A and FT24C08A. These devices share common interface protocols and functional characteristics but differ in memory density. The FT24C02A specifically offers 2048 bits of storage, making it suitable for smaller data retention tasks compared to its 4K or 8K counterparts.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the FT24C02A-KPR-T?

The maximum clock frequency is 1 MHz when operating at supply voltages between 2.5V and 5.5V. At lower voltages (1.7V to 2.5V), the maximum frequency is reduced to 400 kHz.

Does the FT24C02A-KPR-T support hardware write protection?

Yes, the device includes a Write Protect (WP) pin. When connected to VCC, it disables all write operations to the memory array, providing hardware-level data protection.
