Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 24VL024/MS is determined by the following critical parameters: memory size (2Kbit), memory organization (256 x 8), I2C interface protocol, write cycle time (5ms), and surface mount packaging. Parts are grouped into three categories based on operational characteristics:

Category 1: Parametric Equivalents — Parts maintaining identical electrical specifications including 400 kHz clock frequency, 900 ns access time, 1.5V–3.6V supply voltage, and -20°C to 85°C temperature range. These parts differ only in base product number or packaging variant designation.

Category 2: MFR Recommended Substitutes with Enhanced Specifications — Parts with higher clock frequency (1 MHz) or extended voltage supply range (1.6V–5.5V or 1.7V–3.6V) and broader temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). These parts maintain 2Kbit capacity, 256 x 8 organization, I2C interface, and 5ms write cycle time but offer improved performance margins.

Category 3: MFR Recommended Substitutes with Package Variants — Parts maintaining core electrical specifications but offered in alternative surface mount packages (8-TSSOP, 8-SSOP-B, 8-MSOP variants) to accommodate different PCB layout requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Designs: Select AT24C02D-XHM-B or AT24C02D-XHM-T when extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and higher clock frequency (1 MHz) are required. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. AT24C02D-XHM-T offers tape and reel packaging for high-volume production.

For Parametric Equivalence: 24VL025/MS provides identical electrical performance to 24VL024/MS with active product status and verified programmability, suitable for direct substitution when packaging remains 8-MSOP.

For Extended Voltage Supply Range: BR24G02FVM-3GTTR (8-MSOP package) or BR24G02FVT-3GE2 (8-TSSOP-B package) support 1.6V–5.5V supply voltage with active product status. BR24G02FVM-3GTTR maintains the original 8-MSOP footprint while BR24G02FVT-3GE2 requires PCB layout adjustment for 8-TSSOP-B package.

For Higher Clock Frequency with Extended Temperature: BR24G02FVJ-3AGTE2 or BR24G02FVT-3AGE2 operate at 1 MHz with -40°C to 85°C temperature range and 1.6V–5.5V supply voltage, both with active product status.

Avoid for New Designs: BR24G02FV-3GTE2, BR24G02FVJ-3GTE2, and BR24L02FVJ-WE2 are marked "Not For New Designs" and should not be selected for new product development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AT24C02D-XHM-B replace 24VL024/MS directly on the PCB? A: AT24C02D-XHM-B uses 8-TSSOP package (0.173", 4.40mm width) versus 24VL024/MS 8-MSOP package (0.118", 3.00mm width). Package footprints differ and require PCB layout modification. Electrical compatibility is maintained for I2C protocol and 2Kbit memory capacity.

Q: What is the difference between 24VL024/MS and 24VL025/MS? A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications: 2Kbit capacity, 400 kHz I2C clock, 900 ns access time, 1.5V–3.6V supply, and -20°C to 85°C temperature range. Both use 8-MSOP packaging. The difference is in base product number designation only.

Q: Why do Rohm BR24G02 parts specify 1.6V–5.5V supply voltage? A: Rohm BR24G02 series parts are designed with wider voltage tolerance compared to Microchip 24VL024/MS (1.5V–3.6V). This extended range allows operation in systems with higher supply voltages, providing greater design flexibility but requiring verification that the application circuit does not exceed 3.6V if the original 24VL024/MS specification must be maintained.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: All parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance status, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Which substitute offers the best performance upgrade? A: AT24C02D-XHM-B and AT24C02D-XHM-T provide 1 MHz clock frequency (2.5x faster than 400 kHz) with extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 85°C) while maintaining active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Trade-off is package change from 8-MSOP to 8-TSSOP.

Q: Can I use BR24G02FVM-3GTTR as a drop-in replacement? A: BR24G02FVM-3GTTR maintains 8-MSOP package compatibility with 24VL024/MS, supporting 400 kHz I2C operation and 2Kbit capacity. Extended voltage range (1.6V–5.5V) and temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) provide additional operational margins. Part is in active production status.
