FT24C08A-UTR-T

Overview

The FT24C08A-UTR-T is an 8Kbit (1024 words x 8 bits) serial EEPROM from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd, utilizing a standard two-wire I2C interface. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1MHz at 5V or 400kHz at lower voltages. The device features hardware write protection via the WP pin, 16-byte page write capability, and automatic erase-before-write functionality. Packaged in TSSOP-8 with tape and reel delivery, it ensures data retention for 100 years and endurance of 1 million cycles across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports 16-byte page writes with partial page write operations allowed for efficient memory management.
• Includes a dedicated Write Protect (WP) pin that disables all programming functions when held high.
• Features Schmitt triggers and filtered inputs on SDA and SCL lines to provide noise protection.
• Executes self-timed internal write cycles automatically after receiving a STOP condition.

Applications

• Low power consumer electronics requiring non-volatile storage
• Industrial control systems operating in wide temperature ranges
• Embedded devices needing hardware-level data protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'UTR' confirms the TSSOP-8 package and tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if specified by the project. Confirm the manufacturer is Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. Check for any lead time constraints associated with the reel quantity.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 8Kbit capacity with a compact surface-mount footprint. The extended voltage range down to 1.8V makes it suitable for battery-powered designs. Consider the 1MHz speed capability if system timing requires faster bus communication compared to standard 400kHz limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C08A series of Two-Wire Serial EEPROMs. It shares architectural similarities with the FT24C04A and FT24C16A models but differs in memory organization and address pin usage. The series utilizes advanced CMOS processes designed for low power consumption.
