FT24C32A-ETG-T

Overview

The FT24C32A-ETG-T is a 32 Kbit 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 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports a write cycle time of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I²C communication up to 1 MHz for efficient data transfer
• Operates over a wide voltage range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V for flexible system integration
• Provides non-volatile storage with industrial-grade temperature stability

Applications

• Data logging in embedded systems
• Configuration storage for microcontrollers
• Calibration parameter retention in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETG-T against official Fremont documentation to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging and pin configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target I²C bus voltage levels and check for any regional compliance certifications required for the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 32 Kbit memory solution is needed with standard I²C connectivity. The 8-TSSOP package suits space-constrained designs, while the 1 MHz speed supports faster data acquisition compared to legacy 400 kHz devices. Confirm that the 1.8 V minimum operating voltage aligns with the system's power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the FT24C256A but offers lower density. The series is designed for general-purpose non-volatile memory applications requiring reliable data retention and simple two-wire interface control.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with FT24C32A variants having different suffixes for package or temperature differences. Verify electrical equivalence with standard 24C32 parts if pin-out compatibility is critical, though Fremont-specific characteristics may differ.
