FT24C128A-ETG-T

Overview

The FT24C128A-ETG-T is a 128Kbit (16K x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and features a write cycle time of 5 ms. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and offers an access time of 550 ns. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports standard two-wire bidirectional serial communication via the I²C interface.
• Incorporates hardware data protection mechanisms to prevent accidental writes.
• Features self-timed write cycles for efficient memory management.

Applications

• Low-voltage and low-power electronic systems
• Industrial control applications requiring non-volatile data storage
• Consumer electronics utilizing serial memory interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETG-T against official Fremont Micro Devices documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and I²C bus speeds before integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout consistency and electrical characteristics match design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 128Kbit capacity is required in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package. It is suitable for designs needing I²C connectivity with high-speed access times. Consider the 1.8V to 5.5V operating range for flexibility in power supply architectures. Verify thermal performance within the specified industrial temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C128A series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. The series provides non-volatile storage solutions using CMOS technology. The FT24C128A-ETG-T variant specifically denotes the 8-TSSOP packaging configuration, distinguishing it from other package options like TDFN or SOP available within the same memory capacity family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consult manufacturer documentation for direct pin-compatible alternatives or verify functional equivalence with other 128Kbit I²C EEPROMs if cross-referencing is required.
