FT24C512A-ETR-T

Overview

The FT24C512A-ETR-T is a serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd, offering a storage capacity of 512 kilobits organized as 64k x 8 bits. It utilizes an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and features a write cycle time of 5 ms for both word and page operations. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and has an access time of 550 ns. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP package (4.40mm wide) and supports surface mount installation. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile memory technology retains data without power
• I²C two-wire serial interface for communication
• Wide supply voltage compatibility from 1.8V to 5.5V
• Industrial temperature range operation capability

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in industrial sensors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETR-T corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 8-TSSOP footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Ensure the 1.8V to 5.5V operating voltage aligns with the system power rails. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512-kbit EEPROM size is necessary for application data storage needs. The I²C interface suitability should be evaluated against available bus lines on the host microcontroller. Consider the 8-TSSOP package dimensions for space-constrained designs. The wide voltage range allows flexibility in power supply design without level shifting requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. The series typically includes variants with different capacities such as 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K, and 32K bits. The FT24C512A represents the higher capacity end of this standard two-wire serial memory lineup, designed for applications needing substantial non-volatile storage in a compact package.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with AT24C512 or M24C512 equivalents for pin-compatible alternatives. Verify that substitute parts support the same 1.8V minimum voltage and 1 MHz I²C speed. Ensure the replacement maintains the 8-TSSOP or compatible package outline.
