64Kbit I2C EEPROM in 8-SOP — AEC-Q100 qualified
The BR24A64F-WME2: It is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, meaning it is tested and characterized for automotive applications where the ambient temperature spans -40°C to +105°C. The 5 ms write cycle time per page or word is typical for this density class — budget this into the firmware update routine if the EEPROM is used for parameter storage during key-off writes.
The supplier device package is designated 8-SOP, which matches the JEDEC MO-012 variation for this body width. Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profiles applies — no special bake required if the moisture-sensitive level (MSL) rating is observed on the reel label. The reel quantity is not stated here, but the 8-SOP format typically ships in 2,500-piece reels for volume production. Store the reels dry — the MSL rating determines the floor life before baking is needed.
For BOM planning, the AEC-Q100 qualification means this part carries the automotive-grade reliability testing (temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up) required for under-hood and cabin electronics.
