Microchip 24LC02BT I2C Serial EEPROM, 2Kbit, SOT-23-5

The Microchip 24LC02BT-I/OT is a high-performance 2Kbit serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) designed for advanced low-power applications. Organised as a single block of 256 x 8-bit memory, this device utilises a two-wire serial interface (I²C™ compatible) for seamless integration into a wide range of electronic systems.

Key Features

• Low-voltage operation down to 1.7V, with minimal power consumption (1μA standby, 1mA active)
• Page write capability for up to 8 bytes of data
• Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression
• Output slope control to minimise ground bounce
• Clock compatibility with 100kHz and 400kHz standards
• Self-timed erase/write cycle (3ms typical)
• Hardware write-protect for data integrity
• ESD protection exceeds 4000V
• Endurance: more than 1 million erase/write cycles
• Data retention: greater than 200 years

This EEPROM is ideal for space-constrained designs, offering a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount package with 5 pins. It operates over a wide supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial and automotive environments. The product is MSL 1 rated (unlimited floor life) and contains no SVHC substances, making it compliant with current environmental regulations.
