Product details
Overview
24AA01H-I/S16K from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8-bit memory, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It features hardware write-protect for half-array (40h–7Fh), 400 kHz max clock frequency at VCC ≥ 2.5V, and 1 μA standby current. It is used in embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration data retention, and firmware parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA01H-I/S16K datasheet, 24AA01H-I/S16K pinout, 24AA01H-I/S16K application, or 24AA01H-I/S16K equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated I²C timing constraints, confirmed package mapping to SOIC-8, and real-world use cases for low-voltage industrial designs requiring >200-year data retention and >1 million erase/write cycles.
Technical Context
The 24AA01H-I/S16K implements a true two-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL for noise immunity, plus output slope control to suppress ground bounce. Its internal address pointer supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes without external addressing logic.
Write protection is implemented via the WP pin: tied to VCC, it disables writes to addresses 40h–7Fh while allowing full read access; tied to VSS, full read/write operation is enabled. The device uses an internal high-voltage generator for EEPROM programming and includes a VCC threshold detector that disables write logic below 1.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit) - fits small configuration tables, calibration coefficients, or boot flags in space-constrained systems. |
| VCC operating range | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Max I²C clock frequency | 400 kHz (at VCC ≥ 2.5V); 100 kHz (at 1.7V ≤ VCC < 2.5V) - supports fast parameter loading in host-controlled systems. |
| Write endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - ensures reliable field updates over product lifetime in telemetry or logging applications. |
| Data retention | 200 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration data or security keys without refresh. |
| Standby current | 1 μA maximum (I-temp) - minimizes power draw in battery-backed or energy-harvesting nodes. |
| Page write time | 3 ms typical - enables efficient bulk writes of up to 8 bytes per transaction, reducing bus occupancy. |
Pinout & Package
24AA01H-I/S16K is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, 3.90 mm body width). Pin 1 is A0 (no internal connection); pins A0–A2 are unconnected and may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC. VSS and VCC provide power; SDA and SCL implement the bidirectional I²C bus; WP controls half-array write protection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - no effect on device addressing; may be left floating or tied to any rail. |
| A1 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - does not participate in I²C slave address generation (fixed '1010' code). |
| A2 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - eliminates need for external address selection resistors in multi-device systems. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable operation. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ for 400 kHz); carries address, command, and data. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all transfers; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise spikes up to 50 ns. |
| WP | Write-protect control | High = write-protection enabled for addresses 40h–7Fh; low = full read/write access to entire array. |
| VCC | Power supply | 1.7V–5.5V input; internal voltage regulator powers EEPROM cell programming and logic circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation down to 1.7V | Enables direct integration into 1.8V logic domains without level shifters or auxiliary regulators. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL | Provides 0.05×VCC hysteresis and 50 ns spike suppression - eliminates external filtering in noisy industrial environments. |
| Hardware write-protect for half-array | Allows safe storage of immutable factory settings (e.g., calibration constants) while permitting runtime updates to user parameters. |
| Page write capability (up to 8 bytes) | Reduces I²C bus transactions by 8× compared to byte writes - improves throughput in parameter batch updates. |
| ESD protection >4 kV | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 requirements - enhances robustness during handling and board-level assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC01B-I/SN | Requires minimum 2.5V VCC; same 1 Kbit density, 400 kHz speed, and SOIC-8 package. | Not suitable for 1.8V systems; otherwise functionally interchangeable where supply voltage permits. | Select when design operates exclusively at 3.3V/5V and cost optimization is prioritized over ultra-low-voltage support. |
| AT24C01C-SSHM-T | 1 Kbit I²C EEPROM with 1.7V–5.5V range, but lacks hardware write-protect pin; uses software lock instead. | Requires firmware implementation of write protection; no dedicated WP pin simplifies PCB routing but reduces hardware security. | Choose when system-level software control of write access is preferred and hardware-level half-array protection is unnecessary. |
Compared with 24AA01H-I/S16K, the 24LC01B-I/SN trades 1.7V operation for broader legacy compatibility, while the AT24C01C-SSHM-T replaces hardware WP with software lock-reducing BOM count but increasing firmware validation burden for safety-critical writes.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the 24AA01H-I/S16K?
The 24AA01H-I/S16K contains 1 Kbit (128 bytes) of EEPROM memory organized as a single block of 128 × 8-bit locations, addressed linearly from 00h to 7Fh. There are no sub-blocks or sector divisions beyond the hardware write-protect boundary at 40h.
Does the 24AA01H-I/S16K require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24AA01H-I/S16K requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. A 2 kΩ resistor is recommended for 400 kHz operation; 10 kΩ is sufficient for 100 kHz.
How does the write-protect feature work on the 24AA01H-I/S16K?
When the WP pin of the 24AA01H-I/S16K is tied to VCC, writes to memory addresses 40h through 7Fh are inhibited; reads remain fully functional. When WP is tied to VSS, full read/write access to the entire 00h–7Fh array is enabled.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the 24AA01H-I/S16K?
The maximum write cycle time for the 24AA01H-I/S16K is 5 ms, as specified in the AC characteristics table. Typical page or byte write completion occurs within 3 ms, but firmware must allow up to 5 ms before polling for acknowledge.
Is the 24AA01H-I/S16K compatible with standard I²C protocol implementations?
Yes, the 24AA01H-I/S16K is fully I²C-compatible, supporting standard start/stop conditions, 7-bit slave addressing (fixed '1010' control code), and acknowledge polling. It operates at 100 kHz and 400 kHz clock rates with documented timing margins.
