FT24C08A-ESR-T

Overview

The FT24C08A-ESR-T is an 8Kbit serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It features an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and a typical access time of 550 ns. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports a write cycle time of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-SOP package and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Serial Electrical Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) architecture
• I²C compatible serial interface for data communication
• Non-volatile storage capability retaining data without power
• Surface-mount packaging suitable for automated assembly

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration memory for embedded controllers
• Parameter storage in industrial instrumentation
• Consumer electronics needing small-scale persistent memory

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESR-T' against your bill of materials, as it denotes the 8-SOP package variant. Confirm that the 1 MHz I²C speed meets your system timing requirements. Ensure the 1.8V to 5.5V operating voltage aligns with your target circuit's power rails. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8Kbit capacity is sufficient for application needs. The I²C interface simplifies PCB routing compared to parallel memories. The wide voltage range allows compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Consider the 8-SOP package dimensions for board space constraints relative to other available packages like DFN or TSSOP.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C08A series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. The series offers various package options including SOP, DFN, and TSSOP, identified by different suffixes. All variants share the same core 8Kbit memory organization and I²C functionality, differing primarily in physical footprint and pin configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent substitutes may include other 8Kbit I²C EEPROMs from different manufacturers, provided they match the 1.8V-5.5V voltage range and 1 MHz clock speed. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Generic replacements must support the same I²C addressing scheme.
