FT24C64A-ENR-T

Overview

The FT24C64A-ENR-T is a non-volatile EEPROM memory IC manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It offers a storage capacity of 64Kb, organized as 8K x 8 bits. The device utilizes an I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and features a fast access time of 500 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports a write cycle time of 5 ms for both word and page operations. The component is housed in an 8-DFN (2x3) surface-mount package with exposed pad and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed serial communication via the I2C protocol at frequencies up to 1 MHz.
• Provides reliable non-volatile data retention using advanced EEPROM technology.
• Features compact surface-mount packaging suitable for space-constrained designs.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring persistent parameter storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration data retention
• Embedded systems utilizing low-power I2C interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct tape and reel quantity matches production requirements. Confirm that the 8-DFN footprint aligns with the target PCB layout. Ensure the selected variant meets the required operating temperature range for the intended environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official distributor catalogs to validate current availability status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required alongside standard I2C compatibility. The 1.8V to 5.5V supply range allows flexibility in system power design. Consider the 8-DFN package dimensions during mechanical integration. Verify that the 1 MHz bus speed meets the system's data throughput needs compared to slower alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C64 series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. These devices are designed for general-purpose data storage applications where non-volatility and moderate density are essential. The series typically includes various package options to accommodate different board space constraints while maintaining consistent electrical performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 64Kb I2C EEPROMs from manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics or ON Semiconductor. Ensure pinout compatibility and voltage level matching when replacing. Verify that the replacement device supports the same 1 MHz clock speed and similar package dimensions for seamless integration.
