FT24C512A-ESG-T

Overview

The FT24C512A-ESG-T is a serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd, offering a storage capacity of 524,288 bits organized as 64K x 8. It features an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. The device utilizes an 8-SOP package (0.154", 3.90mm wide) and supports surface mount installation. Key electrical parameters include a write cycle time of 5ms for word or page operations and an access time of 500 ns. It functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports two-wire serial communication via the I²C interface protocol
• Provides non-volatile data retention without requiring power
• Compatible with standard 24LC512 memory organization and pinout

Applications

• Data logging in industrial control systems
• Configuration storage in consumer electronics
• Parameter retention in embedded microcontroller systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESG-T' against official Fremont Micro Devices documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for 8-SOP components. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm electrical characteristics match system requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512Kbit EEPROM with I²C connectivity is required for applications needing moderate data density. The 1.8V to 5.5V operating range allows flexibility in low-power and standard voltage designs. Consider the 8-SOP package constraints for board space limitations and ensure thermal management aligns with the specified -40°C to 85°C operational window.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C512A series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. These devices are designed as drop-in replacements for industry-standard equivalents like the 24LC512. The series emphasizes reliability and ease of integration into systems requiring persistent storage for small datasets, such as calibration data or user settings.

Replacement Considerations

Functionally compatible with the 24LC512 regarding memory organization and interface. Verify pinout and voltage specifications against target replacement parts to ensure seamless integration without circuit modifications.
