Product details
Overview
24FC02T-I/MUY from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 2-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 256 × 8-bit memory with hardware write-protection, 1 MHz clock support (down to 1.7V), 8-byte page write buffer, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables nonvolatile parameter storage in space-constrained embedded systems such as smart sensors and IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the 24FC02T-I/MUY datasheet, 24FC02T-I/MUY pinout, 24FC02T-I/MUY application, or 24FC02T-I/MUY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7V minimum operating voltage, 1 µA standby current, Schmitt-trigger I²C inputs for noise immunity, and MUY-package wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) in high-reliability PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The 24FC02T-I/MUY implements a two-wire I²C interface compliant with standard-mode (100 kHz), fast-mode (400 kHz), and fast-mode plus (1 MHz) timing specifications. Its internal architecture includes an 8-byte page latch, EEPROM array with >1 million erase/write cycles, and on-chip HV generator for byte/page programming.
It supports three read modes-current address, random, and sequential-and uses acknowledge polling to detect write completion. The WP pin provides hardware-level write protection across the full 256-byte memory array without software overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 × 8-bit), sufficient for device calibration data, MAC addresses, or firmware configuration flags |
| Interface | I²C-compatible two-wire bus with 1 MHz max clock at 1.7–5.5V, enabling high-speed host communication in low-power systems |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms per byte or page, minimizing bus occupancy during nonvolatile updates |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery rails or 1.8V/3.3V logic domains without level shifters |
| Standby Current | 1 µA maximum (I-temp.), critical for battery-powered devices requiring multi-year shelf life |
| Data Retention | >200 years at 85°C - ensures long-term reliability in automotive and industrial deployments |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - accommodates frequent field-updatable parameters (e.g., metering logs) |
Pinout & Package
24FC02T-I/MUY is housed in an 8-lead UDFN package with wettable flanks (MUY), measuring 2 mm × 3 mm × 0.55 mm, optimized for AOI and reflow-soldered high-density PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC - no impact on device addressing |
| A1 | Address Input | No internal connection; unused in 24FC02 family - eliminates external pull-up/down requirements |
| A2 | Address Input | No internal connection; simplifies board layout by removing address pin routing constraints |
| VSS | Ground | Reference node for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance for stable I²C signaling |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; transmits/receives addresses, commands, and data |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Host-generated clock synchronizing all I²C transfers; Schmitt-trigger input suppresses bus noise |
| WP | Write-Protect Input | Hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to VSS enables full read/write access |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input supporting 1.7–5.5V operation - enables direct integration with wide-VDD SoCs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C Interface | Enables faster parameter updates than legacy 400 kHz EEPROMs - reduces host CPU wait time in real-time systems |
| 8-Byte Page Write Buffer | Allows burst writes of up to 8 contiguous bytes per Stop condition, improving throughput over single-byte writes |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Provides hysteresis (≥0.05×VCC) on SDA/SCL to reject EMI-induced glitches on noisy industrial buses |
| Wettable Flank UDFN (MUY) | Exposes solderable side terminals for automated optical inspection of solder joint quality - critical for automotive AEC-Q100 compliance |
| Hardware Write-Protection | Prevents accidental or malicious firmware corruption via dedicated WP pin - no software driver required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA02T-I/MUY | Max clock 400 kHz; same 1.7–5.5V range and MUY package; lacks 1 MHz support | Lower bandwidth acceptable in cost-sensitive, low-update-rate applications (e.g., static calibration storage) | Select when system clock budget permits slower I²C and lower cost is prioritized over speed |
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | 1 MHz I²C, 1.7–5.5V, SOIC-8 package; no wettable flanks; 1 µA standby current | Requires rework for AOI-capable assembly; suitable for through-hole or legacy SMT lines without X-ray/AOI capability | Choose when board assembly process does not require wettable flanks and SOIC-8 footprint is already allocated |
Compared with 24AA02T-I/MUY, the 24FC02T-I/MUY delivers 2.5× higher I²C bandwidth for rapid configuration loading, while AT24C02D-SSHM-T offers identical speed but trades wettable flanks for SOIC-8 compatibility - making 24FC02T-I/MUY optimal for miniaturized, AOI-verified automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24FC02T-I/MUY?
The 24FC02T-I/MUY supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency across its full 1.7V–5.5V supply range, as confirmed in Table 1-2 of DS20001709N. This exceeds the 400 kHz limit of the 24AA02/24LC02B variants and enables faster parameter writes in time-critical applications. At VCC < 2.5V, the 24FC02T-I/MUY maintains 1 MHz operation - unlike the 24AA02, which drops to 100 kHz below 2.5V.
Does the 24FC02T-I/MUY require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24FC02T-I/MUY requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. Typical values are 2 kΩ for 1 MHz operation and 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, as specified in Section 2.2 of DS20001709N. The resistor value must be selected based on bus capacitance and desired rise time to meet AC timing requirements.
How does hardware write-protection work on the 24FC02T-I/MUY?
Hardware write-protection on the 24FC02T-I/MUY is controlled by the WP pin: when tied to VCC, the entire 256-byte memory array is locked against write operations (including byte and page writes), while read operations remain fully functional. When WP is tied to VSS, normal read/write access is enabled. This function is implemented entirely in hardware and requires no firmware intervention.
What is the significance of the "MUY" suffix in 24FC02T-I/MUY?
The "MUY" suffix denotes the 8-lead 2×3 mm UDFN package with wettable flanks, as defined in Microchip's packaging nomenclature. This variant features solderable side terminals that enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - a requirement for high-reliability automotive and industrial manufacturing. It is distinct from standard UDFN (e.g., "MNY") and TDFN packages.
Can the 24FC02T-I/MUY be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the 24FC02T-I/MUY is explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, as stated in the Features section of DS20001709N. Its industrial temperature grade (I: –40°C to +85°C) and wettable flank MUY package align with automotive PCB assembly and reliability requirements, including thermal cycling and vibration resistance.
