Product details
Overview
24AA01HT-I/ST from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM designed for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.7V to 5.5V, supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency, features hardware write-protect for the upper half-array (40h–7Fh), and delivers ≤1 μA standby current at industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C). It is commonly used in firmware storage, calibration data retention, and configuration memory in sensor modules and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA01HT-I/ST datasheet, 24AA01HT-I/ST pinout, 24AA01HT-I/ST application, or 24AA01HT-I/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7V minimum VCC, half-array hardware write-protection via WP pin, 8-pin TSSOP package with 4.4 mm body width, 1 million erase/write cycles, and guaranteed 200-year data retention - all validated for industrial-temperature operation.
Technical Context
The 24AA01HT-I/ST implements a true 2-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL for noise immunity, plus output slope control to suppress ground bounce. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across the full 128-byte array without re-addressing.
It uses an on-chip charge pump for EEPROM programming, supports byte and page (up to 8 bytes) writes with typical 3 ms page write time, and includes a VCC threshold detector that disables write operations below ~1.5V to prevent data corruption during brown-out conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit array), organized as single block - simplifies addressing logic and eliminates block-select overhead. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers without level shifting. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 400 kHz (100 kHz when VCC < 2.5V) - balances speed and noise immunity in mixed-signal environments. |
| Write Endurance | ≥1,000,000 cycles - supports frequent calibration updates or logging in field-deployed equipment. |
| Data Retention | ≥200 years at +25°C - ensures long-term reliability for unattended or maintenance-free applications. |
| Standby Current | ≤1 μA at −40°C to +85°C - critical for battery-powered devices requiring multi-year shelf life. |
| Write-Protect Scope | Hardware-enabled protection of addresses 40h–7Fh (64 bytes) when WP = VCC - isolates critical firmware or security keys from accidental overwrite. |
Pinout & Package
24AA01HT-I/ST is supplied in an 8-lead Plastic Thin Shrink Small Outline (TSSOP) package, 4.4 mm body width, with standard 0.65 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; leads are gull-wing shaped and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | Device Address Inputs | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without affecting operation or I²C address (fixed at 1010xxx). |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance to support noise-suppressed I²C timing. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ typical for 400 kHz); carries address, command, and data. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all transfers; Schmitt-trigger input ensures robust edge detection on noisy boards. |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Logic-high (VCC) enables half-array protection (40h–7Fh); logic-low (VSS) enables full-array read/write - no software configuration required. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.7–5.5V supply powering EEPROM core, I/O buffers, and internal charge pump; includes brown-out detection below ~1.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional down to 1.7V - eliminates need for voltage regulators in 1.8V systems and extends battery life in portable designs. |
| Hardware Write-Protection | Dedicated WP pin protects upper 64 bytes (40h–7Fh) without firmware intervention - prevents corruption of boot code or security keys. |
| Page Write Capability | Up to 8-byte burst writes reduce I²C transaction count and improve system-level throughput versus byte-by-byte programming. |
| Noise Immunity | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 50 ns input filter on SDA/SCL - tolerates >100 mV of bus noise without spurious Start/Stop generation. |
| ESD Robustness | ≥4 kV HBM rating - reduces risk of field failure during handling or in electrically harsh industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC01BHT-I/ST | Requires minimum 2.5V VCC; identical pinout, timing, and memory map - no PCB change needed. | Lacks 1.7V operation; unsuitable for 1.8V systems or deep-battery brown-out scenarios. | Select only if system VCC never drops below 2.5V and cost sensitivity outweighs low-voltage flexibility. |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | 1.7–5.5V operation and 400 kHz I²C, but uses different device address (1010000x) and lacks hardware WP pin - requires firmware-level protection. | Requires software-managed write lock; no dedicated hardware isolation for critical memory regions. | Choose when board space allows minor firmware adaptation and full-array write access is acceptable. |
Compared with 24AA01HT-I/ST, the 24LC01BHT-I/ST offers identical form/fit/function at higher VCC, while AT24C01D-SSHM-T trades hardware write-protection for broader vendor availability - making 24AA01HT-I/ST optimal where low-voltage resilience and hardware-enforced memory partitioning are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the 24AA01HT-I/ST?
The 24AA01HT-I/ST guarantees full functionality down to 1.7V across its industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). Below approximately 1.5V, the internal VCC detector disables write operations to prevent data corruption, though read access remains possible until VCC falls below operational thresholds.
Does the 24AA01HT-I/ST require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24AA01HT-I/ST has open-drain SDA and SCL outputs and requires external pull-up resistors. For 400 kHz operation, a 2 kΩ resistor to VCC is recommended; for 100 kHz, 10 kΩ is typical. Values must be selected based on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements per I²C specification.
How does the hardware write-protect feature work on the 24AA01HT-I/ST?
When the WP pin is tied to VCC, the 24AA01HT-I/ST hardware-write-protects memory addresses 40h through 7Fh (64 bytes), allowing reads but blocking writes to that region. Addresses 00h–3Fh remain fully writable. Pulling WP to VSS disables protection entirely - no firmware or command is needed.
Can the 24AA01HT-I/ST be used in automotive applications?
The 24AA01HT-I/ST is rated for industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C), not automotive grade (−40°C to +125°C). For automotive use, Microchip's 24LC01BHT-E/ST variant is specified for the extended range and shares identical pinout and functionality - the 24AA01HT-I/ST itself is not qualified for under-hood deployment.
What is the maximum page write size supported by the 24AA01HT-I/ST?
The 24AA01HT-I/ST supports page writes of up to 8 bytes within a single physical page boundary. Attempting to write across a page boundary causes wraparound within the current page - application firmware must ensure word addresses do not cross 8-byte boundaries (e.g., 00h–07h, 08h–0Fh) during multi-byte writes.
