24LC256-I/P

Microchip Technology

24LC256-I/P is a Microchip 256 Kbit I2C serial EEPROM in 8-pin PDIP — for non-volatile storage: configuration data, calibration tables and event logs. 256 Kbit with 1M erase/write cycles is the selection point: the workhorse EEPROM density for embedded designs. Selection advice: the I/P denotes PDIP-8 — the breadboard-friendly variant; for SMT, the SOIC variant is the pick. 64-byte page writes and 400 kHz bus cover most logging needs; for larger storage, step up the 24LC series density. Microchip lists this part as In Production. Parameters verified against the Microchip official product page. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

24LC256-I/P selection guidance

24LC256-I/P is a I2C serial EEPROM from Microchip Technology, orderable in the PDIP-8 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

24LC256-I/P FAQ

What do the suffixes in 24LC256-I/P mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. 24LC256-I/P names the PDIP-8 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for 24LC256-I/P?

The package (PDIP-8) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for 24LC256-I/P?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for 24LC256-I/P?

Add 24LC256-I/P to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Microchip Technology), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
