Product Overview
24LC64T-I/OT is a 64Kbit industrial-grade I2C serial EEPROM launched by Microchip Technology, organized as 8K×8-bit memory array, housed in ultra-small 5-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package. Manufactured with low-power CMOS process, it supports wide supply voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, compatible with standard 2-wire I2C bus up to 400kHz clock speed. Integrated with 32-byte page write buffer, hardware write-protect pin and Schmitt trigger input noise suppression circuit, it features 1 million erase/write cycles endurance and over 200 years data retention.
Suffix definition: T=Tape & reel packaging; I=Industrial temperature grade; OT=Lead-free 7-inch tape reel for SOT-23-5. With tiny form factor and minimal peripheral components, it is ideal for space-limited industrial control, consumer electronics and compact MCU boards to store non-volatile data such as configuration parameters, device unique ID and fault logs.

Key Features
1. Ultra-compact SOT-23-5 package for space-saving
5-pin tiny SMD footprint, much smaller than SOIC-8 package, perfect for compact PCBs like miniature sensor modules, wearable devices and mini controllers.
2. Wide voltage & low-power CMOS design
Stable operation down to 2.5V, only 1μA standby quiescent current, greatly extending battery life for portable battery-powered equipment.
3. High-speed I2C bus with 32-byte page write buffer
Supports up to 400kHz fast-mode I2C; up to 32 bytes continuous write per page, drastically reducing write latency for mass configuration storage.
4. Hardware full-array write protection
Dedicated WP pin locks entire memory into read-only state when pulled high, preventing accidental erasure and parameter corruption from EMI noise.
5. Robust anti-interference circuit
Schmitt trigger inputs filter bus noise; output slew rate control eliminates ground bounce; built-in 4kV ESD protection for harsh industrial electromagnetic environments.
6. Multi-device cascading capability
3 address pins support up to 8 identical EEPROMs on one single I2C bus, expanding total storage up to 512Kbit.
7. Ultra-long endurance & data retention
1 million erase/write cycles and 200-year non-volatile data storage, suitable for factory calibration data and long-term fault log recording.
8. Minimal peripheral & easy development
Only two pull-up resistors required for bus hardware; compatible with universal I2C driver libraries for all mainstream MCUs, low development cost.
