Product details
Overview
23LC1024T-E/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 +125°C (E-temp), delivering 20 MHz clock rate in I-temp and 16 MHz in E-temp, 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 automotive infotainment and ADAS control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO datasheet, 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO pinout, 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO application, or 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 8-lead SOIC, confirmed SDI/SQI mode timing behavior, HOLD functionality limitations in quad mode, and validated alternative parts for extended-temperature serial memory replacement.
Technical Context
The 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO implements a SPI-compatible serial bus with three configurable modes: Byte (single-byte access), Page (32-byte auto-increment within page), and Sequential (full-array wraparound). It supports dual-data-rate SDI (SIO0/SIO1) and quad-data-rate SQI (SIO0–SIO3) protocols, with dedicated command set (0x03 READ, 0x02 WRITE, 0x3B EDIO, 0x38 EQIO, 0xFF RSTIO) and a writable MODE register controlling operation mode.
Its architecture features unlimited read/write cycles, zero write time, and data retention down to 1.0 V VCC. The HOLD pin enables mid-sequence suspension in SPI/SDI modes but is repurposed as SIO3 in SQI mode - disabling hold functionality entirely when quad interface is active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8 bits) - supports 128 KB of volatile buffer storage with byte-addressable access |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 16 MHz at –40°C to +125°C - defines maximum sustained data throughput in automotive E-temp applications |
| Read Current | 3 mA at 5.5 V, 20 MHz - determines power budget impact during active streaming operations |
| Standby Current | 4 µA at +85°C - enables low-power sleep states in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Data Retention Voltage | 1.0 V minimum - guarantees RAM contents survive brown-out events down to critical supply threshold |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - constrains burst write length before address wraparound or page boundary crossing |
Pinout & Package
8-lead SOIC (3.90 mm body, SN suffix), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package with standard JEDEC outline and matte tin (Sn) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; forces device into high-impedance standby when high, required for multi-drop SPI bus sharing |
| 2: SO/SIO1 | Serial Output / SDI/SQI Bidirectional I/O | Outputs data in SPI mode; serves as second data lane in SDI and first quad lane in SQI |
| 3: SIO2 | Serial I/O 2 (SQI-only) | Unused and must be pulled high in SPI/SDI modes; third data lane in SQI mode only |
| 4: VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 5: SI/SIO0 | Serial Input / SDI/SQI Bidirectional I/O | Accepts commands/addresses/data in SPI mode; serves as first data lane in SDI and primary quad lane in SQI |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge latches input, falling edge updates output |
| 7: HOLD/SIO3 | Hold Control / SQI Bidirectional I/O | Pauses ongoing SPI/SDI transactions when pulled low; becomes fourth data lane in SQI mode (HOLD disabled) |
| 8: VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–5.5 V main supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPI (SQI) Interface | Enables 4-bit-per-clock transfers using SIO0–SIO3, doubling bandwidth vs. standard SPI at same clock frequency |
| Unlimited Read/Write Cycles | Eliminates wear-leveling firmware overhead and enables true SRAM-like usage in cyclic logging applications |
| Zero Write Time | Removes write latency penalty - data is stored immediately upon CS deassertion, enabling deterministic timing-critical writes |
| Three Access Modes | Byte (single-location), Page (32-byte block), and Sequential (full-array streaming) modes provide flexibility for diverse data structures |
| HOLD Pin Functionality | Allows pausing active SPI sequences without resetting state - critical for interrupt-driven host systems managing concurrent peripherals |
Applications
| Automotive Instrument Cluster | Industrial PLC Data Logger |

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); integrates lithium backup; 2.7–3.6 V supply; 25 MHz max clock | Retains data without external backup; suited for power-loss-critical medical/industrial recorders | Select when data persistence during main power failure is mandatory - adds cost and complexity vs. pure SRAM |
| IS66WV1M8ALL-16MLI | 1 Mbit parallel SRAM; 3.3 V only; 16 ns access time; 32-pin TSOP-II; no serial interface | Higher bandwidth but consumes more PCB area and MCU GPIOs; no SDI/SQI capability | Choose only if existing design uses parallel memory bus and board space allows larger footprint |
Compared with CY14V101QS-SXIT and IS66WV1M8ALL-16MLI, the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO offers optimal balance of automotive-grade temperature range, SPI/SDI/SQI flexibility, ultra-low standby power, and compact SOIC packaging - making it ideal for new designs prioritizing serial interface simplicity and E-temp reliability without nonvolatile overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO?
The 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO is rated for –40°C to +125°C (automotive E-temp grade), validated across full range for AC/DC characteristics including 16 MHz max clock, 4 µA standby current, and reliable SDI/SQI mode operation - making it suitable for under-hood and dashboard-mounted automotive systems.
Does the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO support Quad SPI (QSPI) mode?
Yes, the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO supports Serial Quad Interface (SQI) mode via the EQIO command (0x38), using SIO0–SIO3 pins for 4-bit-per-clock transfers. However, HOLD functionality is disabled in SQI mode, as pin 7 becomes SIO3 - a key design constraint requiring firmware awareness.
What is the maximum clock frequency of the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO at +125°C?
At –40°C to +125°C (E-temp), the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO supports up to 16 MHz clock frequency, as specified in Table 1-2 AC Characteristics. This is lower than its 20 MHz rating at I-temp (–40°C to +85°C) to ensure timing margin under worst-case thermal and voltage conditions.
Can the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO retain data during power loss?
The 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO retains data down to 1.0 V VCC (per D011 in DS20005142C), enabling graceful holdover during brown-out events. However, it is volatile memory - data is lost when VCC drops below 1.0 V or is removed entirely. External backup circuitry is required for true nonvolatile retention.
Is the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO pin-compatible with the 23A1024 series?
No - while both share identical pinout and package (SOIC-8), the 23LC1024T-E/SNVAO operates at 2.5–5.5 V and supports E-temp, whereas the 23A1024 series requires 1.7–2.2 V and lacks E-temp qualification. Voltage mismatch makes direct substitution unsafe without system-level validation.
