GT24C08B-2ZLI-TR

Memory IC Overview

The GT24C08B-2ZLI-TR is a 2-Wire serial EEPROM produced by Giantec Semiconductor, compatible with the I2C protocol. It features an 8Kb (1024 x 8) storage capacity organized in pages of 16 bytes. The device operates within a wide voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and supports communication speeds up to 1MHz across this voltage spectrum. It includes hardware data protection via a WP pin and offers a self-timed write cycle of up to 5ms with a durability of 1 million erase/write cycles.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• I2C-compatible two-wire serial interface for bidirectional data transfer
• Hardware write protection enabled through dedicated WP pin
• Wide operating voltage range supporting low-power applications
• High endurance with one million erase/write cycles

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Consumer electronics needing configuration parameter retention
• Industrial control units storing calibration data
• Smart cards and security tokens

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2ZLI' against official Giantec documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with your system's I2C bus voltage levels, as the device supports 1.7V to 5.5V. Confirm that the 1MHz speed rating aligns with your controller's capabilities at the lowest operating voltage. Request datasheets directly from authorized distributors to validate revision history and lead times.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-voltage EEPROM with high-speed I2C support is required. The 8Kb capacity suits applications needing moderate data retention without complex addressing schemes. Consider the 16-byte page size for write optimization. The wide voltage range allows flexibility in power supply design. Verify that the SOT-23 or similar small outline package fits your PCB constraints.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GT24CxxB series of serial EEPROMs from Giantec Semiconductor. These devices are designed as drop-in replacements for standard 24Cxx family parts but offer enhanced performance characteristics such as higher speed and lower voltage operation. The series is widely used in embedded systems where reliable non-volatile memory is critical.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents like the AT24C08 or 24LC08 series, ensuring voltage and speed compatibility. Verify pinout alignment, particularly the WP pin functionality. Confirm that the replacement supports the same I2C clock frequency at your minimum operating voltage.
