Microchip Technology 24LC00T-I/OT EEPROM

The 24LC00T-I/OT from Microchip Technology is a compact, high-performance Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device, ideal for a broad range of applications that require reliable data storage. With a tiny footprint and low-power consumption, this EEPROM is perfect for use in space-constrained and power-sensitive designs.

This particular model offers a storage capacity of 128 bits (16 bytes), which is organized as 16 words of 8 bits each. The 24LC00T-I/OT operates in the standard I²C bus serial interface, allowing for simple integration into existing designs with minimal additional components. The device supports a bidirectional data transfer protocol, making it easy to write data to the EEPROM and read it back when needed.

The operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V makes the 24LC00T-I/OT versatile for both 3.3V and 5V systems. Its low-power design ensures minimal impact on the overall power budget of the system, which is particularly important for battery-operated devices. The device is also equipped with a hardware write-protect pin, providing an additional layer of data security by preventing unintentional writes to the memory.

Microchip's 24LC00T-I/OT is designed for robustness, with an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications that are exposed to harsh environments. Additionally, the device's endurance of over one million write cycles and a data retention of more than 200 years ensures reliability over the product's lifetime.

The 24LC00T-I/OT comes in a 2-lead SOT-23 package, which is known for its small size and ease of soldering onto a printed circuit board. This package type is an excellent choice for applications where board space is at a premium. Whether you are working on small gadgets, automotive modules, or industrial control systems, the 24LC00T-I/OT from Microchip Technology offers a dependable and efficient solution for your data storage needs.
