FT24C08A-USG-T

Overview

The FT24C08A-USG-T is an 8Kbit (1024 x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes a standard two-wire bi-directional serial interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. The device supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz at 5V and 400 kHz at lower voltages, featuring a maximum self-timed write cycle of 5ms. It includes hardware data protection via a write protect pin and is housed in an 8-pin SOP package.

Feature Summary

• Supports 16-byte page write mode with partial page write capability.
• Includes Schmitt trigger and filtered inputs for noise protection.
• Features automatic erase before write operation.
• Provides hardware data protection through a dedicated write protect pin.

Applications

• Low power consumer electronics
• Industrial control systems
• Smart metering devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'USG-T' against official datasheets to confirm the package type, temperature range, and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required lead-free certification and tape-and-reel packaging specifications for automated assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile memory solution requires low standby current and wide voltage compatibility. The device is suitable for applications needing hardware write protection and high endurance. Verify that the system bus speed aligns with the specified frequency limits across the operating voltage range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C04A/08A/16A series of Two-Wire Serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. The series shares common architectural features, including the I2C-compatible interface and CMOS fabrication process, while differing primarily in memory density and available address pins.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the FT24C04A-USG-T and FT24C16A-USG-T from the same manufacturer family. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verification of pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
