Product details
Overview
24AA025T-I/SN 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 kHz max clock speed, and 16-byte page write buffer. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded controllers, sensor nodes, and power management ICs.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA025T-I/SN datasheet, 24AA025T-I/SN pinout, 24AA025T-I/SN application, or 24AA025T-I/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-6 package, absence of hardware write-protect (WP) pin, 1 μA standby current, and compatibility with multi-device I²C bus topologies up to eight devices.
Technical Context
The 24AA025T-I/SN implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and slope-controlled outputs to suppress noise and eliminate ground bounce. Its internal address pointer supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes, and it uses self-timed erase/write cycles with automatic page-buffer management.
Unlike the 24AA024 variant, the 24AA025T-I/SN omits the WP pin-confirmed by datasheet Note "WP pin is not internally connected on the 24XX025" and Pin Function Table showing WP as unconnected in SOT-23. Addressing uses A0/A1 pins only (A2 not bonded), enabling up to four devices per bus in this package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 2 Kbit (256 × 8-bit), sufficient for MAC addresses, calibration data, or boot configuration in space-constrained designs |
| Supply voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers without level shifting |
| Max clock frequency | 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 1.8V - supports high-throughput configuration writes in real-time systems |
| Page write buffer | 16 bytes - reduces I²C transaction count for bulk writes, improving bus efficiency and firmware simplicity |
| Endurance & retention | 1 million erase/write cycles and >200 years data retention - validated for long-life industrial deployments |
| Standby current | 1 μA typical - critical for battery-powered IoT endpoints where quiescent power dominates lifetime |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade) - qualified for use in automotive body electronics and industrial control modules |
Pinout & Package
24AA025T-I/SN is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-lead SOT-23 package (3.0 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.1 mm). Pin 1 is marked by laser dot; pin 1 = SCL, pin 2 = VSS, pin 3 = SDA, pin 4 = A1, pin 5 = A0, pin 6 = VCC. The WP pin is not internally connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCL | Serial Clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all I²C transfers; requires external pull-up; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance to support stable 1 μA standby operation |
| SDA | Bidirectional data I/O | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; handles address, command, and data transfer in both directions |
| A1 | Device address bit 1 | Configures slave address (1010xx0); tied to VCC/VSS to select one of four possible addresses on shared bus |
| A0 | Device address bit 0 | LSB of chip-select bits; enables up to four 24AA025T-I/SN devices on same I²C bus without address conflict |
| VCC | Power supply | Accepts 1.7–5.5V; internal voltage detector disables write logic below 1.5V to prevent corruption during brownout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | 1.7V minimum VCC enables integration into ultra-low-power 1.8V systems without regulator overhead |
| Noise-immune I/O | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 50 ns spike suppression eliminate need for external RC filtering on noisy PCBs |
| Page write capability | 16-byte buffer allows single I²C transaction to store full calibration set or network ID, reducing firmware latency |
| Hardware address flexibility | A0/A1 pins support four unique I²C addresses (1010000–1010011), simplifying multi-sensor node design |
| Robust write cycle | Self-timed 5 ms max write ensures deterministic timing; ACK polling allows host to resume bus activity immediately after completion |
Applications
| Smart Sensor Node | Industrial PLC Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing factory-calibrated sensor offsets and linearization coefficients in a wireless temperature/humidity node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile configuration storage accessed at power-up and during field recalibration via I²C. Use Value: Enables plug-and-play deployment with pre-loaded calibration; 200-year retention avoids recalibration over product lifetime. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Persistent parameter storage updated infrequently but read on every controller boot and runtime reconfiguration. Use Value: Eliminates need for external programming tools; 1 μA standby current prevents battery drain in backup-powered modules. |
| Automotive Body Controller | Medical Wearable |
|
Use Scenario: Saving seat position memory, mirror settings, and lighting profiles in a vehicle door module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: I²C slave storing user preferences; accessed only during wake-up or button-press events. Use Value: Industrial-grade –40°C to +85°C rating ensures reliability across cabin temperature extremes; 400 kHz speed enables fast recall. |
Use Scenario: Retaining patient-specific therapy parameters and usage history in a disposable glucose monitor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power configuration and event-log storage interfaced to an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU. Use Value: 1.7V operation extends battery life in coin-cell-powered devices; SOT-23-6 footprint minimizes PCB area in compact wearables. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC025-I/SN | Same 2 Kbit capacity and SOT-23-6 package, but rated for automotive temp (–40°C to +125°C) and 2.5–5.5V operation | Required where extended temperature qualification or higher VCC min is mandated (e.g., under-hood ECUs) | Select 24LC025-I/SN only if automotive AEC-Q100 compliance or 2.5V minimum supply is required; otherwise 24AA025T-I/SN offers broader voltage range |
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM in SOIC-8; supports 1.7–5.5V, 400 kHz, but lacks SOT-23-6 footprint and has different pinout (WP present) | Suitable when board layout allows SOIC-8 and hardware write-protection is desired | Choose AT24C02D-SSHM-T only if SOIC-8 is acceptable and WP functionality is needed; not drop-in due to package and pinout mismatch |
Compared with 24LC025-I/SN, the 24AA025T-I/SN provides wider voltage range (1.7V vs. 2.5V min) for low-power systems, while AT24C02D-SSHM-T offers write protection but requires PCB redesign - making 24AA025T-I/SN optimal for space- and voltage-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24AA025T-I/SN?
The 24AA025T-I/SN supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is 1.8V or higher. At VCC < 1.8V, the maximum clock rate drops to 100 kHz per DS21210N-page 3, Table 1-2. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability across diverse voltage domains while maintaining timing compliance.
Does the 24AA025T-I/SN have a hardware write-protect (WP) pin?
No, the 24AA025T-I/SN does not include a functional WP pin. As confirmed in the datasheet Section 2.4 and Pin Function Table, the WP pin is not internally connected on any 24XX025 device, including the 24AA025T-I/SN. Write protection must be implemented in software or via external logic.
How many 24AA025T-I/SN devices can be connected on the same I²C bus?
Up to four 24AA025T-I/SN devices can share one I²C bus. Because the SOT-23 package lacks the A2 pin, only A0 and A1 are available for chip-select addressing, yielding four unique 7-bit slave addresses (1010000 to 1010011) per DS21210N-page 5 and page 7.
What is the page write buffer size of the 24AA025T-I/SN?
The 24AA025T-I/SN features a 16-byte page write buffer, allowing up to 16 bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction before the internal self-timed write cycle begins. This reduces bus overhead and improves firmware efficiency compared to byte-write-only EEPROMs.
Is the 24AA025T-I/SN compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers?
Yes, the 24AA025T-I/SN is fully compatible with 1.8V systems: its 1.7V to 5.5V supply range includes 1.8V, and its I²C interface meets standard voltage thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC) at that rail. No level translation is required when interfacing with 1.8V MCUs.
