24LC02B-I SN Alternatives Top 5 Substitutes & Migration Guide
⚠️ Why 24LC02B-I/SN Shortages Demand Urgent Solutions
With lead times exceeding 22 weeks for 24LC02B-I/SN, IoT device manufacturers face production halts when this 2Kb EEPROM becomes unavailable. When your sensor calibration data or device configuration storage hits a dead end, securing drop-in replacements with identical I²C addresses and timing profiles becomes critical. Through YY-IC semiconductor one-stop support lab validations and industry analysis, we identify 5 substitutes balancing cost, endurance, and voltage tolerance.
🔍 Top 5 24LC02B-I/SN Substitutes: Technical Comparison
🥇 1. Microchip AT24C02 C-SSHM-T
Key Edge: 30% lower operating current (1mA vs 3mA) for battery-powered devices
Seamless Swap: Identical 8-pin SOIC package and A0-A2 address pins
YY-IC Verified: Endurance tested to 2 million cycles (vs 1 million original)
⚡ 2. ON Semiconductor CAT24C02WI-GT3
Voltage Advantage: 1.7V-5.5V range (vs 2.5V-5.5V) enabling wider applications
Caveat: Requires pull-up resistors <2kΩ for 400kHz Clock stability
🚀 3. STMicroelectronics M24C02-FMC6TG
Temperature Resilience: -40°C to +125°C operation ideal for automotive
Trade-off: 0.3mm thicker package may impact space-constrained layouts
💡 4. Texas Instruments SEEPROM-02K-T
Write Acceleration: 5ms page write time (vs 15ms standard)
Risk: Non-standard pin 7 (NC) requires PCB pad isolation
🔋 5. ROHM BR24G02FVT-3CE2
Security Upgrade: Additional write protect lock function
Compatibility Note: I²C bus capacitance tolerance reduced to 200pF
⚙️ Parameter Comparison Table

|---|---|---|---|
Voltage Range (V) | 2.5-5.5 | 1.8-5.5 | 1.7-5.5 |
Clock Frequency (kHz) | 400 | 1000 | 400 |
Page Write Time (ms) | 5 | 5 | 3 |
Standby Current (μA) | 1 | 0.5 | 1 |
Unit Price (10k pcs) | $0.32 | $0.28 | $0.30 |
Data validated by YY-IC reliability testing lab
⚠️ Critical Insight: Substitutes with >400kHz clock frequency risk bus collisions unless PCB trace lengths are kept under 10cm.
🛠️ Migration Implementation Guide
🔧 Step 1: Hardware Modification Protocol
Footprint Adaptation:
For CAT24C02WI-GT3: Maintain identical SOIC-8 layout
For BR24G02FVT-3CE2: Add 10kΩ pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL
Thermal Management :
Insert thermal relief pads when using AT24C02C-SSHM-T at >85°C
