Product details
Overview
24AA00T-I/OT from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 128-bit (16 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM designed for low-voltage embedded storage of calibration data, device IDs, and manufacturing traceability information. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, draws only 500 µA typical read current and 100 nA typical standby current, and supports 100 kHz / 400 kHz clock rates in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the 24AA00T-I/OT datasheet, 24AA00T-I/OT pinout, 24AA00T-I/OT application, or 24AA00T-I/OT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT-23 package mapping, I²C timing compliance, endurance (1M cycles), and real-world use context - all confirmed against Microchip DS20001178J.
Technical Context
The 24AA00T-I/OT implements a true 2-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and output slope control to suppress noise and eliminate ground bounce. Its internal address pointer enables current-address, random, and sequential read modes without external addressing logic.
It uses on-chip high-voltage generation for EEPROM programming, features self-timed erase/write cycles (typ. 3 ms), and includes VCC threshold detection that disables write operations below 1.5 V - ensuring data integrity during brown-out conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 bits (16 × 8), sufficient for small ID strings, calibration offsets, or boot configuration flags |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers |
| I²C clock rate | Up to 400 kHz - supports fast host polling while maintaining compatibility with legacy 100 kHz systems |
| Write cycle time | Typ. 3 ms, max. 4 ms - defines minimum interval between successive byte writes; impacts firmware timeout design |
| Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - ensures long-term reliability in field-updatable parameter storage |
| Data retention | Greater than 200 years at +85°C - guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity over full product lifecycle |
| Standby current | 100 nA typical - critical for battery-powered devices where quiescent power dominates lifetime budget |
Pinout & Package
24AA00T-I/OT is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 5-lead SOT-23 package (Microchip drawing C04-091D [OT]), measuring 2.80 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.30 mm. The exposed pad is not electrically connected and may be left floating or tied to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SCL | Serial clock input - synchronous timing reference for I²C transactions; requires external pull-up |
| 2 | VSS | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuitry and I²C bus termination |
| 3 | SDA | Open-drain bidirectional data line - carries addresses, commands, and data; requires external pull-up |
| 4 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 5 | VCC | Power supply input - supplies core logic and EEPROM array; bypass capacitor recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation down to 1.8 V | Enables direct integration into energy-harvesting and ultra-low-power sensor nodes without level-shifting |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL | Rejects bus noise up to 5% VCC hysteresis, eliminating need for external RC filtering in noisy environments |
| Output slope control | Prevents ground bounce-induced glitches during SDA transitions, improving signal integrity on shared PCB planes |
| Factory programming option | Allows pre-loading of unique identifiers or calibration constants during wafer sort or assembly - reduces post-manufacture programming steps |
| ESD protection >4 kV HBM | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements, enabling robust handling in manual assembly and field service |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC00T-I/OT | Requires minimum 2.5 V VCC; higher active current (1 mA typical read) | Not suitable for 1.8 V systems; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and memory map | Select only if system VCC ≥ 2.5 V and lower standby current is not required |
| AT24C01A-PU | 1 Kbit capacity (128 × 8); same 1.8–5.5 V range; 1 M cycle endurance; different I²C address (0x50) | Provides 8× more storage; requires software address update; larger PDIP-8 footprint | Choose when future expansion headroom or multi-device addressing is needed; not drop-in compatible due to pin count and package |
Compared with 24AA00T-I/OT, the 24LC00T-I/OT offers identical form factor but sacrifices 1.8 V operation and ultra-low standby current, while the AT24C01A-PU trades SOT-23 compactness for greater density and requires PCB layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24AA00T-I/OT?
The 24AA00T-I/OT supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and 100 kHz when VCC is 1.8 V to 4.5 V. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability with both legacy and high-speed controllers while maintaining timing margin under low-voltage operation. The 24AA00T-I/OT does not require external clock stretching or arbitration logic.
Does the 24AA00T-I/OT require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24AA00T-I/OT has open-drain SDA and SCL terminals and requires external pull-up resistors. Typical values are 10 kΩ for 100 kHz operation and 2 kΩ for 400 kHz. Pull-ups must connect to the same VCC domain as the 24AA00T-I/OT to ensure valid logic levels and avoid bus contention. No internal pull-ups are present.
How many times can the 24AA00T-I/OT be rewritten before failure?
The 24AA00T-I/OT is rated for more than 1 million erase/write cycles per memory location, verified through characterization (not 100% tested). This endurance exceeds typical field requirements for calibration storage or device ID logging. Wear leveling is unnecessary due to the fixed 16-byte address space and infrequent update pattern.
Is factory programming available for the 24AA00T-I/OT?
Yes, Microchip offers factory programming for the 24AA00T-I/OT, allowing pre-loading of unique serial numbers, calibration coefficients, or regulatory identifiers during wafer sort or final test. This eliminates post-solder programming steps and reduces manufacturing cycle time. Contact Aetrix Electronics for ordering codes and lead-time details specific to 24AA00T-I/OT.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the 24AA00T-I/OT SOT-23 package?
Pin 4 of the 24AA00T-I/OT is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must remain unconnected on the PCB - neither tied to VCC, VSS, nor left floating with parasitic coupling. This pin exists for mechanical symmetry and package compatibility across the 24XX00 family; routing or soldering to it may cause functional instability or ESD vulnerability.
