FT24C256A-ESR-T

FMD Fremont Micro Devices · EEPROM · SOP-8

FT24C256A-ESR-T from FMD Fremont Micro Devices, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A0 input Device/chip select address input bit 0. Hardwire to VIH or VIL to set the slave address; internally recognized as VIL if left unconnected.
2 A1 input Device/chip select address input bit 1. Hardwire to VIH or VIL to set the slave address; internally recognized as VIL if left unconnected.
3 A2 input Device/chip select address input bit 2. Hardwire to VIH or VIL to set the slave address; internally recognized as VIL if left unconnected.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 SDA bidirectional Serial data line. Bi-directional open-drain output; must be pulled to VCC with an external resistor. Can be wired-OR with other open-drain devices on the I2C bus.
6 SCL input Serial clock input. Rising edge latches data into the EEPROM, falling edge clocks data out. Supports 400 kHz at 1.8V and up to 1 MHz at 2.5-5.0V.
7 WP input Write protect input. When tied to VIH or VCC, all programming (write) operations are disabled; when left unconnected or tied to VIL, writes are enabled. Read operations are unaffected by WP.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage input. Operating range 1.8V to 5.5V. Standby current < 1 µA.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ft24c256a-esr-t.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ft24c256a-esr-t-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with FT24C256A-ESR-T already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 638 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: FMD Fremont Micro Devices datasheet (16 pp, sha256 265daf0b084f49aa, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
