Product details
Overview
24AA014-I/ST from Microchip Technology is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 1.7V–5.5V supply operation, and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It supports up to 400 kHz clock rate at VCC ≥ 1.8V, features 16-byte page write buffer, and delivers 1 μA standby current and 1 mA active current. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and firmware parameters.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA014-I/ST datasheet, 24AA014-I/ST pinout, 24AA014-I/ST application, or 24AA014-I/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation down to 1.7V, I²C bus compatibility with multi-device addressing (up to eight devices), hardware write protection, 5 ms max write cycle time, and endurance of 1 million erase/write cycles.
Technical Context
The 24AA014-I/ST implements a two-wire I²C interface with slave-only operation, using Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL for noise immunity. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across the full 128-byte memory space, with automatic rollover from address 0x7F to 0x00.
Write operations are controlled by the WP pin: tied to VSS for full write enable, or VCC for complete array write protection. Page writes are limited to 16-byte boundaries aligned to physical page starts (e.g., addresses 0x00–0x0F), and crossing boundaries causes wraparound-not cross-page writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), single-block organization - simplifies address management and eliminates bank switching logic. |
| Supply voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| I²C clock rate | Up to 400 kHz (≥1.8V); 100 kHz (1.7V ≤ VCC < 1.8V) - supports high-speed configuration loading while maintaining robustness at ultra-low voltage. |
| Write endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - suitable for frequent parameter updates in field-deployed industrial controllers. |
| Data retention | Greater than 200 years at 25°C - ensures long-term reliability for unattended equipment with infrequent maintenance. |
| Standby current | 1 μA typical at 5.5V - minimizes power budget impact in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Page write buffer | 16 bytes - reduces I²C transaction count for bulk configuration writes, improving bus efficiency and reducing host CPU overhead. |
Pinout & Package
24AA014-I/ST is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with 150-mil body width, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and industrial-grade thermal rating (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Chip address input | LSB of 3-bit hardware slave address; hardwired to VSS or VCC to select one of eight possible I²C addresses on shared bus. |
| A1 | Chip address input | Middle bit of slave address; determines device uniqueness alongside A0 and A2 in multi-EEPROM systems. |
| A2 | Chip address input | MSB of slave address; enables up to eight 24AA014-I/ST devices on same I²C bus without software address remapping. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane for stable read/write timing. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ for 400 kHz, 10 kΩ for 100 kHz); carries address, command, and data. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; rising edge samples data, falling edge allows data change. |
| WP | Write-protect control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes but permits unlimited reads - critical for safeguarding factory calibration data. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 1.7–5.5V supply powers logic and EEPROM array; no separate VPP or charge pump required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 1.7V - eliminates need for voltage regulators in 1.8V microcontroller systems, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Hardware write protection | Dedicated WP pin with VCC/VSS logic-level control - prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware glitches without software intervention. |
| I²C bus scalability | Three address pins (A0–A2) support up to eight devices on one bus - enables modular design with distributed nonvolatile storage per subsystem (e.g., sensor node, actuator, power stage). |
| Page write capability | 16-byte buffer allows single I²C transaction to program up to 16 contiguous bytes - cuts firmware update time by ~85% vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| High endurance & retention | 1M cycles / >200-year data retention - validated for use in automotive ECUs, medical diagnostics, and industrial PLCs where field replacement is costly or impractical. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC014-I/ST | Requires minimum 2.5V VCC; no operation below 2.5V - lacks 1.7V capability of 24AA014-I/ST. | Not suitable for 1.8V-only systems; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and memory map. | Select when operating exclusively in 2.5–5.5V domains and legacy 24LC part numbering is required. |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | 1.7–5.5V compatible; 400 kHz I²C; 128 × 8-bit layout - functionally equivalent but uses different device addressing scheme (A0/A1 only, no A2). | Supports only four devices per bus (vs. eight); requires firmware address mapping update if replacing existing 24AA014-I/ST designs. | Choose for new designs prioritizing second-source availability and extended qualification (AEC-Q100 Grade 2 option available). |
Compared with 24LC014-I/ST and AT24C01D-SSHM-T, the 24AA014-I/ST uniquely supports true 1.7V operation - critical for battery-powered IoT nodes and energy-harvesting sensors - while retaining full 8-device bus scalability and identical SOIC-8 footprint.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the 24AA014-I/ST?
The 24AA014-I/ST operates down to 1.7V, enabling direct integration with 1.8V microcontrollers and low-power sensor nodes without level-shifting circuitry. This specification is verified across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and applies to both read and write operations, including self-timed write cycles.
Does the 24AA014-I/ST support standard I²C protocol?
Yes, the 24AA014-I/ST is fully I²C™-compatible, supporting standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) signaling. It responds to the 7-bit slave address format with control code '1010', three chip-select bits (A2–A0), and R/W bit - matching I²C specification Rev. 6 requirements for timing, acknowledge behavior, and bus arbitration.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with the 24AA014-I/ST?
Up to eight 24AA014-I/ST devices can operate on a single I²C bus using unique combinations of A0, A1, and A2 address pins. Each device is assigned a distinct 7-bit slave address (1010xxx), allowing contiguous 8 Kbit memory expansion through software-managed address bit mapping (A2=A10, A1=A9, A0=A8).
What is the purpose of the WP pin on the 24AA014-I/ST?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the 24AA014-I/ST provides hardware-level write inhibition: when tied to VCC, all write operations (byte and page) are blocked while read access remains fully functional. This prevents accidental or malicious overwrites of critical calibration data, even during firmware crashes or power faults.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the 24AA014-I/ST?
The 24AA014-I/ST has a maximum write cycle time of 5 ms for both byte and page writes, covering internal auto-erase, programming, and verification. This value is guaranteed across the full operating voltage (1.7–5.5V) and temperature (−40°C to +85°C) range, and must be observed before initiating subsequent I²C transactions.
