FT24C08A-ELR-T

Overview

The FT24C08A-ELR-T is an 8-Kbit (1K x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes a CMOS technology and communicates via a two-wire I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in an 8-WFDFN package with exposed pad, measuring 2x3 mm.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication up to 1 MHz
• Operates across a wide voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V
• Includes hardware write protection capabilities
• Features internal power-on reset circuitry

Applications

• Consumer electronics data storage
• Industrial control system parameter logging
• Automotive embedded memory applications
• Portable device configuration storage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ELR against official Fremont Micro Devices documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint for the 8-WFDFN form factor. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for non-volatile data retention in low-power environments. The 1 MHz clock speed offers faster write cycles compared to standard 400 kHz devices. Consider the 1.8V minimum operating voltage if designing for battery-powered systems requiring efficient power management.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C08A series of serial EEPROMs designed for general-purpose memory applications. It shares functional similarities with other industry-standard I2C EEPROMs but is distinguished by its specific packaging and electrical characteristics provided by Fremont Micro Devices. The series typically includes variants with different package options such as TSOT-23 and WLCSP.

Replacement Considerations

FT24C08A-ENR-T and FT24C08A-UNR-T are listed as parameter-equivalent alternatives from the same manufacturer.
