FT24C32A-ESR-T

Overview

The FT24C32A-ESR-T is a 32 Kbit (4K x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 800 kHz and features a write cycle time of 5 ms. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, has an access time of 700 ns, and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication up to 800 kHz for efficient data transfer.
• Provides non-volatile storage with byte-level programmability and page write capabilities.
• Operates reliably across a wide industrial temperature range and broad voltage spectrum.

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring persistent storage
• Configuration parameter retention in embedded controllers
• Calibration data storage in sensor modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESR' against official Fremont documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and I²C bus timing requirements before integration. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 32 Kbit EEPROM is needed with I²C connectivity. The 800 kHz speed suits applications requiring faster updates than standard 100 kHz devices. The 1.8 V minimum voltage allows operation in low-power portable designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C32A series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. These devices are designed for general-purpose non-volatile memory applications where space is limited. The series typically offers various package options to suit different PCB layout constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the FT24C32A-USG-T or other variants within the same manufacturer's portfolio that match the required package and electrical characteristics.
