The 900 ns access time defines the read-cycle latency on the bus — at 400 kHz the bus itself is the bottleneck, not the memory. The 8-MSOP package is a compact surface-mount footprint suited for space-constrained PCBs in industrial control, sensor modules, and embedded systems where a small non-volatile parameter store or calibration table is needed. This part carries an official product status of Obsolete. STMicroelectronics has discontinued production, and no last-time-buy window is indicated in the available records. For a BOM line that currently specifies the M24C02-RDS6TG, the immediate decision is whether a pin-compatible drop-in exists or a board spin is required. The base product number M24C02 covers a family of 2 Kbit I2C EEPROMs in multiple packages (SOIC, TSSOP, UFDFPN) and temperature grades — a same-function variant in a different package may be easier to source, but the 8-MSOP package itself is the constraint. If the board layout can accommodate a slightly larger footprint, the M24C02 family in SOIC-8 or TSSOP-8 remains widely available through standard distribution. The I2C interface is open-drain, so the bus pull-up resistors set the logic-high voltage — the device's own VCC determines its input thresholds. At 1.8 V operation, the access time and write cycle remain within spec, though the bus speed may be limited by the RC time constant of the pull-ups and trace capacitance. For a design migrating from 5 V to 3.3 V, this part eliminates one voltage translation component. ## 8-MSOP package — rework and layout notes It reflows well with standard lead-free profiles, but the small pad size and tight pitch make hand-soldering tricky — a hot-air station with a fine nozzle is the practical method for rework. For layout, keep the I2C pull-up resistors close to the device to minimize stub length, and route the supply trace with enough width for the low DC current (microamps in standby, a few mA during write).","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics M24C02-RDS6TG EEPROM, 2Kbit I2C, 900 ns","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics M24C02-RDS6TG 2Kbit I2C EEPROM, 1.8-5.5V supply, 400 kHz clock, 900 ns access, -40 to 85°C, 8-MSOP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Memory (DRAM / SRAM / Flash / EEPROM)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"STMicroelectronics","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Technology":"EEPROM","Access Time":"900 ns","Memory Size":"2Kbit","Memory Type":"Non-Volatile","Memory Format":"EEPROM","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-TSSOP, 8-MSOP (0.118\\\", 3.00mm Width)","Product Status":"Obsolete","Clock Frequency":"400 kHz","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Memory Interface":"I²C","Voltage - Supply":"1.8V ~ 5.5V","Base Product Number":"M24C02","Memory Organization":"256 x 8","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"8-MSOP","Write Cycle Time - Word, Page":"5ms"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/9164d1dbcc3cbaf51303eee5f6c3a43c.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/M24C02-RDS6TG/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the M24C02-RDS6TG and what is the price?","answer":"The M24C02-RDS6TG is obsolete and no longer in production."},{"question":"What is the replacement for M24C02-RDS6TG?","answer":"If the board can accommodate a different footprint, one of those variants is the practical replacement path.
