Product details
Overview
24AA024HT-I/ST from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 2 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 256 × 8-bit memory, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 400 μA max active current, and hardware write protection for addresses 80h–FFh. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded control modules requiring low-voltage operation and noise-immune bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA024HT-I/ST datasheet, 24AA024HT-I/ST pinout, 24AA024HT-I/ST application, or 24AA024HT-I/ST equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated 8-pin TSSOP package mapping, confirmed I²C timing compliance up to 400 kHz, and real-world use cases in secure device identity and calibration data retention.
Technical Context
The 24AA024HT-I/ST implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL pins, enabling robust noise suppression and spike rejection ≥50 ns. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes, while the 16-byte page write buffer enables efficient bulk writes without host-side address management.
Hardware write protection is controlled solely by the WP pin state: tied to VCC, it locks the upper half (128 bytes) of the array; tied to VSS, full array access is permitted. The device uses an internal high-voltage generator and auto-erase logic to complete self-timed write cycles within 5 ms, independent of host clocking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 × 8-bit), single-block organization enabling contiguous addressing without bank switching |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 1.8V - ensures compatibility with standard I²C fast-mode controllers |
| Write Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - guarantees long-term reliability in firmware update or logging applications |
| Data Retention | 200 years at +25°C - meets extended-life requirements for medical, industrial, and infrastructure equipment |
| Standby Current | 1 μA max - enables battery-backed operation in always-on sensor nodes and IoT edge devices |
| Page Write Buffer | 16 bytes - reduces I²C transaction overhead by up to 87% versus byte-write for typical 12–16 byte configuration records |
Pinout & Package
24AA024HT-I/ST is packaged in an 8-pin TSSOP (3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable address bit; sets LSB of 7-bit slave address (1010xxx) to enable up to eight devices on one I²C bus |
| A1 | Chip Select Input | Second chip select bit; combined with A0 and A2, determines unique I²C address for multi-device systems |
| A2 | Chip Select Input | MSB of chip select; allows hardware-based device selection without software address remapping |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be connected before VCC to prevent latch-up |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ typical for 400 kHz operation) |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; Schmitt-trigger input ensures reliable edge detection under noisy conditions |
| WP | Hardware Write-Protect | Logic-high (VCC) enables write lock on upper 128 bytes (80h–FFh); no software intervention required |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input; internal voltage detector disables write logic below 1.5V to prevent partial writes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional down to 1.7V VCC - eliminates need for external regulators in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered designs |
| Noise-Immune I²C Interface | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 50 ns input filter - suppresses EMI-induced glitches without external RC filtering |
| Output Slope Control | Controlled SDA/SCL rise/fall times - prevents ground bounce and signal integrity issues on shared PCB traces |
| Half-Array Hardware Write Protection | WP pin directly gates erase/write to 80h–FFh - provides tamper-resistant storage for MAC addresses or calibration constants |
| Contiguous Multi-Device Expansion | A0–A2 bits map to address bits A9–A11 - enables 16 Kbit logical memory space using eight devices on one bus |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC024HT-I/ST | Requires minimum 2.5V VCC; supports 1 MHz I²C clock; same pinout and memory map | Preferred in 3.3V/5V systems where higher speed or automotive temp range not needed | Select when system VCC ≥ 2.5V and faster write throughput is prioritized over ultra-low-voltage operation |
| AT24C02-SSHM-T | 1.8V–5.5V VCC range; 400 kHz max clock; 1 M cycle endurance; identical 8-pin TSSOP package | Drop-in alternative with same footprint but different manufacturer qualification and test flow | Choose for dual-sourcing flexibility in industrial control designs where Microchip-specific features (e.g., QTP) are not required |
Compared with 24AA024HT-I/ST, the 24LC024HT-I/ST offers higher speed at the cost of reduced low-voltage headroom, while the AT24C02-SSHM-T provides second-source assurance with matching electrical behavior but distinct qualification standards and programming toolchain support.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for reliable operation of the 24AA024HT-I/ST?
The 24AA024HT-I/ST operates reliably down to 1.7V VCC across its full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). Below 1.8V, maximum I²C clock frequency is limited to 100 kHz; above 1.8V, it supports up to 400 kHz. Internal voltage detection disables write operations below 1.5V to prevent data corruption, ensuring safe power-down behavior in the 24AA024HT-I/ST.
How does hardware write protection work on the 24AA024HT-I/ST?
Hardware write protection on the 24AA024HT-I/ST is controlled exclusively by the WP pin: when tied to VCC, addresses 80h–FFh (upper 128 bytes) are locked against all write and erase commands; when tied to VSS, full array access is enabled. This protection is active independently of I²C commands and cannot be overridden in software, making the 24AA024HT-I/ST suitable for storing immutable identifiers or calibration data.
Can multiple 24AA024HT-I/ST devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes - up to eight 24AA024HT-I/ST devices can operate on a single I²C bus using unique slave addresses generated by combinations of A0, A1, and A2 pins. Each device responds only to its assigned 7-bit address (1010xxx), enabling scalable memory expansion to 16 Kbits without additional address decoding logic in the 24AA024HT-I/ST system architecture.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the 24AA024HT-I/ST?
The 24AA024HT-I/ST has a maximum write cycle time of 5 ms for both byte and page writes, regardless of VCC or temperature. During this period, the device does not acknowledge I²C commands (ACK polling is required to detect completion), and SDA remains high. This fixed timing simplifies host firmware design and ensures predictable latency in the 24AA024HT-I/ST's nonvolatile write sequence.
Is the 24AA024HT-I/ST compatible with standard I²C protocol implementations?
Yes - the 24AA024HT-I/ST fully complies with the NXP I²C-bus specification for standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) operation. It supports Start/Stop conditions, 7-bit addressing, ACK/NACK handshaking, and all three read modes (current address, random, sequential). No special controller extensions are needed to interface with the 24AA024HT-I/ST in existing I²C ecosystems.
