Product details
Overview
24AA00T-I/SN 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 parameters. 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/SN datasheet, 24AA00T-I/SN pinout, 24AA00T-I/SN application, or 24AA00T-I/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low standby power, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on SDA/SCL, self-timed 3 ms write cycle, 1 million erase/write endurance, and compatibility with standard I²C masters across 1.8–5.5 V supply.
Technical Context
The 24AA00T-I/SN implements a slave-only I²C interface with fixed 4-bit device code '1010' and three don't-care address bits, enabling up to eight devices on one bus. Its internal address pointer auto-increments during sequential reads and retains position after random or current-address access.
It features integrated Schmitt-trigger inputs and input filtering (50 ns spike suppression), slope-controlled outputs to minimize ground bounce, and a VCC threshold detector that disables write logic below 1.5 V. Write cycles are fully self-timed and do not require external timing control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 bits (16 words × 8 bits); sufficient for small configuration or identity storage without over-provisioning. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V; enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| I²C clock rate | Up to 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 4.5 V; supports faster firmware updates and host polling in compact systems. |
| Write cycle time | 3 ms typical; defines minimum interval between successive byte writes and impacts system latency during parameter save. |
| Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles; ensures reliable field operation over >10 years in high-frequency logging applications. |
| Data retention | 200 years at +25°C; guarantees long-term integrity of factory-programmed identifiers or calibration coefficients. |
| Standby current | 100 nA typical; critical for battery-powered IoT sensors and wearables where quiescent power dominates lifetime. |
Pinout & Package
24AA00T-I/SN is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (3.90 mm body width, JEDEC MS-012). The package includes exposed pad option (not electrically connected by default) and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SCL | Serial clock input; master-generated synchronous edge for all data transfers; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 2 | SDA | Bidirectional open-drain data line; carries addresses, commands, and memory contents; requires external pull-up. |
| 3 | VSS | Ground reference; must be connected directly to system common return to ensure noise margin and ESD path. |
| 4 | VCC | Power supply input; accepts 1.8–5.5 V; internal regulator enables stable EEPROM operation across wide voltage range. |
| 5–8 | NC | No-connect pins; left unconnected per design; no internal circuitry or bonding; must remain floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 1.8 V - eliminates need for dedicated 3.3 V LDO in 1.8 V MCU systems. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.05 VCC - rejects noise spikes up to 50 ns, improving robustness on shared PCB buses. |
| Output slope control | Controlled rise/fall times - prevents ground bounce-induced glitches during SDA transitions. |
| Factory programming | Available pre-programmed with customer-specific data - reduces post-solder programming steps in high-volume assembly. |
| Pb-free & RoHS | Matte tin (Sn) finish per JEDEC - meets global environmental compliance without requiring special reflow profiles. |
Applications
| Smart Sensor Calibration | Industrial PLC Configuration |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing sensor offset/gain coefficients and temperature compensation tables during final test. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile parameter store accessed once at power-up; no real-time timing constraints. Use Value: Enables plug-and-play sensor replacement with zero recalibration; leverages 200-year data retention for field longevity. |
Use Scenario: Holding user-defined I/O mapping, alarm thresholds, and communication settings in modular controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Slave EEPROM on controller's I²C bus; updated infrequently but must survive brownouts. Use Value: Guarantees settings persistence across 1M+ power cycles; 100 nA standby minimizes backup battery drain. |
| Medical Device ID Storage | Consumer Appliance Firmware Patch |
Use Scenario: Securing unique serial number, manufacturing date, and regulatory certification codes in portable diagnostics gear. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Read-only identity register accessed during boot sequence; write-protected after programming. Use Value: Meets FDA traceability requirements via factory-programmable memory; ESD >4 kV protects against handling damage. |
Use Scenario: Storing minor firmware patches or UI language strings in white-goods controllers where flash update is impractical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary nonvolatile storage accessed via I²C during maintenance mode; write-enabled only during service. Use Value: Avoids full MCU reflash; 3 ms write time enables fast patch deployment; 400 kHz support speeds field updates. |
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/SN | Minimum VCC = 2.5 V; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and memory organization. | Not suitable for 1.8 V systems; acceptable where 3.3 V or 5 V supply is guaranteed. | Select when higher VCC margin is preferred and 1.8 V operation is unnecessary. |
| AT24C01C-SSHM-T | 1 Kbit capacity (128 bytes); same 1.7–5.5 V range, 400 kHz, and SOIC-8 package; AEC-Q200 qualified. | Offers 8× more memory; suited for applications needing extended configuration space or firmware metadata. | Choose when future scalability or automotive qualification is required, accepting higher cost and density. |
Compared with 24AA00T-I/SN, the 24LC00T-I/SN trades 1.8 V compatibility for tighter VCC regulation margin, while AT24C01C-SSHM-T provides greater storage and automotive qualification at the cost of increased footprint and price - making 24AA00T-I/SN optimal for minimal-footprint, ultra-low-power 1.8 V designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the 24AA00T-I/SN?
The 24AA00T-I/SN operates down to 1.8 V, enabling direct integration with 1.8 V microcontrollers and eliminating the need for voltage translation. Below 1.5 V, its internal write logic is disabled by a VCC threshold detector to prevent corrupted writes - a safeguard confirmed in DS20001178J-page 8.
Does the 24AA00T-I/SN support standard I²C addressing?
Yes, the 24AA00T-I/SN uses a fixed 4-bit device code '1010' followed by three don't-care bits, resulting in a 7-bit slave address of 0x50 (1010000b) when R/W = 0. This matches standard I²C protocol and allows up to eight devices on one bus - as defined in DS20001178J-page 7.
How many write cycles can the 24AA00T-I/SN endure?
The 24AA00T-I/SN is rated for more than 1 million erase/write cycles, verified through characterization (not 100% tested per DS20001178J-page 3, Note 4). This endurance supports daily parameter updates for over 27 years - sufficient for most industrial and consumer applications.
Is the 24AA00T-I/SN compatible with 400 kHz I²C operation?
Yes, the 24AA00T-I/SN supports 400 kHz clock frequency when VCC is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, as specified in DS20001178J-page 3, Table 1-2. At lower voltages (1.8–4.5 V), maximum clock rate is 100 kHz - a hard limit enforced by internal timing margins.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the 24AA00T-I/SN SOIC package?
Pins 1–3 and 7 of the 24AA00T-I/SN SOIC package are No-Connect (NC) - physically present but internally unconnected. They must remain unconnected in layout; routing traces or applying solder paste to them may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling, per DS20001178J-page 4 Pin Function Table.
