Product details
Overview
23LCV1024T-E/SN from Microchip Technology is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) SPI Serial SRAM with battery backup support, SDI dual-I/O capability, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports 20 MHz clock rate, delivers 3 mA read current at 5.5V/20 MHz, and features zero write time and unlimited read/write cycles. It is used in embedded systems requiring nonvolatile data retention during main power loss-e.g., metering, POS terminals, and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 23LCV1024T-E/SN datasheet, 23LCV1024T-E/SN pinout, 23LCV1024T-E/SN application, or 23LCV1024T-E/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include VBAT-supported data retention voltage (1.0 V min), SDI mode entry/exit via EDIO/RSTIO commands, page size (32 bytes), and SOIC-8 (SN) package compatibility with legacy SPI bus layouts.
Technical Context
The 23LCV1024T-E/SN implements a true serial SRAM architecture with an 8-bit instruction register and MSB-first SPI protocol compliance. It supports three configurable access modes-Byte (00), Page (10), and Sequential (01)-via a writable MODE register, enabling flexible memory access granularity without external address latches.
Its dual-interface capability uses shared SI/SO pins as SIO0/SIO1 in SDI mode, doubling effective throughput by transferring two bits per clock cycle. Internal VBAT switchover occurs at a defined VTRIP (1.6–2.0 V), ensuring seamless transition to backup supply when VCC drops below threshold while maintaining full SRAM data integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8), enabling compact storage for firmware variables, logging buffers, or configuration tables in space-constrained designs. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible with SDI dual-I/O mode; supports standard SPI (SI/SO/SCK/CS) and accelerated dual-bit transfers using SIO0/SIO1. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz - enables up to 2.5 MB/s sequential read throughput in SDI mode, suitable for real-time data buffering. |
| VCC Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| VBAT Retention Voltage | 1.0 V minimum (VDR) - ensures reliable SRAM data hold with low-capacity coin cells (e.g., CR1220) or supercapacitors. |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - optimizes burst writes while minimizing internal address wrap risk; matches common MCU cache line sizes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade) - validated for deployment in outdoor metering, factory automation, and transportation electronics. |
Pinout & Package
23LCV1024T-E/SN is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (3.90 mm body), designated by package code "SN". Pin 3 is NC (No Connect); all other pins are functional and electrically validated per DS25156A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; places device in Standby (4 µA) when high; required low-to-high transition initiates all operations. |
| 2: SO/SIO1 | Serial Output / SDI Data Line 1 | Outputs data in SPI mode; serves as bidirectional data line 1 in SDI mode (MSB of dual-bit pair). |
| 3: NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 4: VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and VBAT supplies; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 5: SI/SIO0 | Serial Input / SDI Data Line 0 | Accepts instructions/addresses/data in SPI mode; serves as bidirectional data line 0 in SDI mode (LSB of dual-bit pair). |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered master clock; data latched on rising edge (SI), output updated after falling edge (SO). |
| 7: VBAT | External Backup Supply Input | Provides retention power when VCC < VTRIP (1.6–2.0 V); draws only 1 µA typical at 2.5 V. |
| 8: VCC | Main Power Supply | Core logic and memory array supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unlimited Read/Write Cycles | Enables continuous logging or runtime parameter storage without wear-out concerns-critical for long-life industrial deployments. |
| Zero Write Time | Eliminates wait states after write commands; improves deterministic response in time-critical control loops. |
| SDI Dual-I/O Mode | Doubles effective data rate over standard SPI using same pin count-reduces bus congestion without adding traces or connectors. |
| Battery Backup Support | Preserves volatile SRAM contents during main power failure using external VBAT source; no external controller or EEPROM emulation needed. |
| 32-Byte Page Architecture | Optimizes write efficiency for small packet updates (e.g., sensor samples) while preventing accidental cross-page overwrites. |
Applications
| Smart Energy Metering | Industrial PLC Data Logging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14V101QS-SP | 1 Mbit nvSRAM with integrated lithium battery; no external VBAT required; 44-pin TSOP vs. 8-pin SOIC. | Higher integration but larger footprint and fixed battery lifetime (~10 years); no SDI mode. | Choose when board space allows larger package and long-term maintenance-free operation is prioritized over flexibility. |
| FM24V10-G | F-RAM with 1 Mbit density; 3.3 V only; 25 MHz max clock; no VBAT pin-retention powered from VCC alone. | Lower active current (1 mA typ), but no external backup option; limited to 3.3 V systems. | Choose for ultra-low-power 3.3 V designs where VBAT independence simplifies power architecture. |
Compared with CY14V101QS-SP and FM24V10-G, the 23LCV1024T-E/SN offers unique flexibility: external VBAT sourcing enables field-replaceable backup, SOIC-8 footprint minimizes PCB area, and SDI mode provides scalable bandwidth without changing pin count-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial designs requiring configurable retention.

FAQ
What is the VBAT operating voltage range for the 23LCV1024T-E/SN?
The 23LCV1024T-E/SN accepts VBAT between 1.4 V and 3.6 V (D013), with guaranteed data retention down to 1.0 V (VDR, D011). The internal switchover threshold (VTRIP) is 1.6–2.0 V (D012), ensuring reliable handoff from VCC to VBAT during brownouts. This allows use of common 2.0–3.0 V coin cells or supercapacitors without regulation.
Does the 23LCV1024T-E/SN support both SPI and SDI modes simultaneously?
No-the 23LCV1024T-E/SN operates in either standard SPI mode (using SI/SO) or SDI mode (using SIO0/SIO1), selected via EDIO (0x3B) or RSTIO (0xFF) commands. SDI mode must be explicitly entered and exited; the device does not auto-detect interface type. Pin mapping differs between modes, as shown in Figure 3-1 of DS25156A.
What is the maximum supported clock frequency for the 23LCV1024T-E/SN in SDI mode?
The 23LCV1024T-E/SN maintains the same 20 MHz maximum clock frequency (FCLK, Table 1-2) in SDI mode as in SPI mode. Because SDI transfers two bits per clock cycle, effective throughput doubles to ~5 Mbps-enabling faster bulk reads/writes without increasing SCK speed or violating timing margins.
How does the 23LCV1024T-E/SN handle page boundaries during Page Write operations?
In Page Write mode (MODE[7:6] = 10), the 23LCV1024T-E/SN automatically increments its internal address pointer-but wraps to the start of the same 32-byte page upon reaching the page boundary. Writing beyond 32 bytes overwrites earlier data in that page; crossing into the next page requires explicit command restart. This prevents unintended memory corruption across pages.
Is the 23LCV1024T-E/SN RoHS compliant and halogen free?
Yes-the 23LCV1024T-E/SN is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, and halogen free per Microchip's Material Declaration (DS25156A, page 1). The SOIC-8 package (SN) uses matte tin (Sn) plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements.
