FT24C512A-ETR-B

Overview

The FT24C512A-ETR-B is a 512Kbit (64K 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 page write time of 5 ms. The device offers a typical access time of 900 ns and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP package and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports standard I²C bus communication protocols for efficient data transfer.
• Provides non-volatile storage capability retaining data without power.
• Operates across a broad voltage range suitable for various logic levels.

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring persistent storage
• Configuration memory for embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in industrial sensors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics, as suffixes often denote package variations or lead-free status. Ensure the I²C address configuration matches your system design requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512Kbit capacity is required alongside I²C connectivity. Consider the 1.8V to 5.5V operating range for flexibility in low-power or mixed-voltage environments. The 8-TSSOP package is suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24CxA series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the FT24C256A and FT24C128A, differing primarily in memory density. The series is designed for general-purpose non-volatile storage applications requiring simple two-wire interface control.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the FT24C256A-ETR-T for lower density needs or the FT24C128A-UTG-T for smaller capacities, provided the I²C interface and TSSOP package are maintained. Verify that any replacement maintains the same voltage and temperature specifications.
