Product details
Overview
23LC1024-I/SNVAO from Microchip Technology is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) SPI Serial SRAM with SDI and SQI interface support, operating at 2.5–5.5 V over –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It delivers 20 MHz clock rate in SPI/SDI/SQI modes, 3 mA read current at 5.5 V/20 MHz, and 4 µA standby current at +85°C. Used for real-time data buffering in microcontroller-based industrial control systems requiring fast non-volatile-adjacent memory with zero write time.
For engineers reviewing the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO datasheet, 23LC1024-I/SNVAO pinout, 23LC1024-I/SNVAO application, or 23LC1024-I/SNVAO equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed package mapping to 8-lead SOIC (SN), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level design continuity.
Technical Context
The 23LC1024-I/SNVAO implements a serial SRAM architecture with three configurable access modes-Byte, Page (32-byte), and Sequential-controlled via an 8-bit MODE register. Its dual- and quad-I/O capability (SDI/SQI) enables 2× or 4× throughput versus standard SPI without changing clock frequency.
It supports full-duplex SPI timing with CS setup/hold (25 ns/50 ns), data setup/hold (10 ns/10 ns), and output valid delay (25 ns) under industrial conditions. HOLD functionality operates only in SPI/SDI modes-not in SQI-and suspends ongoing transfers while preserving internal address state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (128K × 8 bits); supports byte/page/sequential reads/writes with automatic address wraparound. |
| Interface Modes | SPI (single I/O), SDI (dual I/O), SQI (quad I/O); mode selected via EDIO/EQIO/RSTIO commands. |
| Max Clock Rate | 20 MHz (industrial temp); enables up to 20 MB/s effective throughput in SQI mode (4 bits/clock). |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting. |
| Read Current | 3 mA at 5.5 V / 20 MHz; defines active power budget for high-speed streaming applications. |
| Standby Current | 4 µA at +85°C; ensures ultra-low quiescent draw during MCU sleep cycles in battery-backed systems. |

Pinout & Package
8-lead SOIC (SN) package per Microchip DS20005142C, 3.90 mm body width, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; forces device into standby (SO tri-state) when high; required low-to-high transition initiates all operations. |
| 2 - SO/SIO1 | Serial Output / SDI/SQI Bidirectional I/O | Outputs data in SPI mode; bidirectional in SDI/SQI; latched on SCK rising edge (input), updated after falling edge (output). |
| 3 - SIO2 | Serial I/O 2 (SQI-only) | Used exclusively in SQI mode for parallel nibble transfer; must be pulled high if unused to prevent bus lockup. |
| 4 - VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - SI/SIO0 | Serial Input / SDI/SQI Bidirectional I/O | Accepts instructions/addresses/data in SPI mode; bidirectional in SDI/SQI; MSB-first protocol enforced. |
| 6 - SCK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge latches input, falling edge updates output; max 20 MHz duty cycle 40–60%. |
| 7 - HOLD/SIO3 | Hold Control / SQI I/O 3 | Holds active SPI/SDI transfers mid-sequence without reset; disabled in SQI mode where pin becomes SIO3. |
| 8 - VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–5.5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unlimited Read/Write Cycles | Enables continuous logging or buffer rotation in telemetry gateways without wear-out concerns. |
| Zero Write Time | Eliminates wait states during write commits-critical for deterministic real-time response in motor control loops. |
| Page Mode (32-byte) | Reduces command overhead by 31× vs. byte writes; ideal for burst transfers from ADC FIFOs or Ethernet packet buffers. |
| SDI/SQI Compatibility | Doubles or quadruples bandwidth over legacy SPI buses-enables migration without redesigning master controller firmware. |
| Industrial Temp Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation PLCs and outdoor metering hardware. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed, low-latency SRAM buffer interfacing directly with MCU's SPI peripheral; absorbs burst ADC samples without CPU intervention. Use Value: 20 MHz SQI mode sustains 10 MB/s sustained write throughput, eliminating gaps in 10 kHz sampling streams across 8 channels. |
Use Scenario: Portable diagnostic device aggregating real-time biosignals from multiple transducers, performing on-device FFT and anomaly detection prior to cloud transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power serial SRAM serving as scratchpad memory for DSP kernels and temporary waveform storage between processing stages. Use Value: 4 µA standby current extends battery life beyond 72 hours in sleep mode, while zero-write-time enables immediate capture upon wake-up trigger. |
| Automotive Body Controller | Smart Energy Meter |
Use Scenario: Centralized vehicle body module managing door locks, lighting, window motors, and CAN message filtering with local event history. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile-adjacent memory storing fault logs, configuration parameters, and recent CAN frame snapshots for diagnostics. Use Value: 1.0 V data retention voltage allows memory contents to survive deep-brownout events during engine cranking (VCC dip to ~1.2 V). |
Use Scenario: ANSI C12.22-compliant utility meter recording kWh consumption, demand intervals, tamper events, and firmware update staging in harsh electrical environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust serial memory co-located with metrology SoC for secure, high-integrity data buffering with immunity to EFT and surge transients. Use Value: Industrial-grade temp rating and 2.5–5.5 V operation ensure reliable function across wide AC line fluctuations (±20%) and ambient extremes (–25°C to +70°C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14V101QS-SXIT | 1 Mbit nvSRAM (nonvolatile SRAM) with auto-store on power loss; 3.3 V only; 15 MHz max clock. | Requires no external backup capacitor or battery; retains data during main power failure without host intervention. | Select when data persistence through uncontrolled power loss is mandatory-e.g., industrial black-box recorders. |
| IS66WV1M8ALL-150BLLI | 1 Mbit parallel SRAM (32-pin TSOP); 3.3 V; 150 ns access; no serial interface. | Higher pin count and PCB footprint; eliminates SPI protocol overhead but increases MCU GPIO usage. | Select when maximum random-access speed is critical and board space/layout complexity permits parallel bus routing. |
Compared with CY14V101QS-SXIT, the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO offers lower system cost and simpler power design but requires host-controlled save/restore; compared with IS66WV1M8ALL-150BLLI, it reduces MCU pin count and layout density at the expense of random-access latency.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization and addressing scheme of the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO?
The 23LC1024-I/SNVAO implements a 128K × 8-bit organization (1 Mbit total), addressed via 24-bit addresses. The first seven MSBs are "don't care" in instruction sequences, effectively supporting 17-bit linear addressing (0x00000 to 0x1FFFF). Page mode uses 32-byte boundaries (4096 pages), and sequential mode wraps at the end of the array.
Does the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO support true hardware write protection or sector locking?
No-the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO does not include hardware write protection, status registers, or sector lock bits. Write enable is purely protocol-based: the WRITE instruction (0x02) must be issued with a valid address and data stream while CS is asserted. System-level protection must be implemented in firmware.
Can the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO operate reliably at 5.5 V and 20 MHz simultaneously?
Yes-per DS20005142C Table 1-2, the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO is fully characterized for 20 MHz operation at VCC = 5.5 V and TA = +85°C. Read current is specified at 3 mA under these conditions, confirming stable timing margins and signal integrity.
Is the HOLD function available when the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO is in SQI mode?
No-the HOLD function is disabled in SQI mode. Pin 7 (HOLD/SIO3) becomes SIO3 (Serial I/O 3) and participates in quad-data transfers. HOLD is only active in SPI and SDI modes, where it pauses ongoing communication without resetting the internal address pointer.
What package type does the suffix 'SNVAO' indicate for the 23LC1024-I/SNVAO?
The 'SN' portion of SNVAO denotes Microchip's 8-lead plastic SOIC package (3.90 mm body width); 'VAO' is a date/batch code per Microchip's marking convention (not a package variant). Full package compliance is documented in DS20005142C Section 5.1 and Microchip Packaging Specification.
