Microchip Technology 24LC01BT-E/OT Product Overview
The 24LC01BT-E/OT is a 1 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) device from Microchip Technology, designed to add reliable data storage to your electronics projects and products. It utilizes the I²C serial interface for communication, making it simple to integrate into a wide range of microcontroller-based systems.
This EEPROM is organized as 128 x 8 (128 bytes) of memory, which is ideal for storing configurations, settings, or small amounts of data that must be preserved between power cycles. It operates across a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, which allows for compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels, ensuring flexibility and ease of use in various applications.
The 24LC01BT-E/OT comes in a tiny SOT-23 package, which is perfect for space-constrained applications. Despite its small size, it is robust and reliable, with a rated data retention of over 200 years and support for over one million write cycles. This endurance makes it suitable for applications where data is frequently updated, such as in real-time clocks, calibration data storage, or device configuration.
One of the key features of this EEPROM is its built-in error correction code (ECC) functionality, which ensures data integrity by detecting and correcting any errors that may occur during data transmission. This feature is particularly important in applications where data accuracy is critical.
The 24LC01BT-E/OT also supports a write-protect pin that can be used to prevent inadvertent writes to the memory, thereby safeguarding your data. Additionally, it is designed to work in harsh environments, with an operational temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications.
Overall, the Microchip Technology 24LC01BT-E/OT EEPROM offers a compact, reliable, and easy-to-use non-volatile memory solution for a wide array of applications. Whether you're designing consumer electronics, industrial control systems, or automotive electronics, this EEPROM can help ensure that your critical data is stored securely and reliably.
