Microchip Technology 24LC02BT/ST EEPROM

The Microchip Technology 24LC02BT/ST represents a high-quality, 2 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) memory chip with a robust feature set suitable for a wide array of applications. This small, serial EEPROM provides 256 x 8 (2 Kbit) of memory and utilizes the standard I2C-compatible (2-wire) serial interface to ensure easy integration into your design.

Featuring a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, the 24LC02BT/ST is versatile enough to fit into various operating conditions, making it ideal for low-power applications. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz (I2C Fast-Mode), allowing for quick data transfer while maintaining low power consumption.

One of the key advantages of the 24LC02BT/ST is its self-timed erase/write cycle, which means no external erase control is required. This simplifies the design process and enhances the reliability of the memory programming. Additionally, the EEPROM is capable of withstanding high write cycle counts, with a rating of 1 million write cycles per byte and a data retention period of over 200 years, ensuring the longevity and durability of your data storage.

The compact 8-TSSOP package makes the 24LC02BT/ST a space-efficient choice for PCB designs. Its small form factor is particularly beneficial for portable and handheld devices where board space is at a premium.

Other notable features include:

• Page write buffer for up to 16 bytes
• Write protect feature for hardware data protection
• Sequential read capability for streamlined data retrieval
• ESD protection for enhanced durability
• RoHS-compliant and lead-free for environmental consideration

Whether you're designing consumer electronics, automotive systems, or industrial controls, the Microchip Technology 24LC02BT/ST EEPROM provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for your non-volatile memory needs. Its combination of high endurance, low power consumption, and small size makes it an excellent choice for your next project.
