Product details
Overview
24CSM01-E/MS from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit I²C serial EEPROM with integrated security register, ECC error correction, and AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. It operates from 1.7V to 5.5V, supports up to 3.4 MHz High-Speed I²C mode, and delivers >1 million write cycles with >200-year data retention. It is used in automotive infotainment control modules for storing calibrated sensor offsets and secure boot configuration.
For engineers reviewing the 24CSM01-E/MS datasheet, 24CSM01-E/MS pinout, 24CSM01-E/MS application, or 24CSM01-E/MS equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-zone write protection (hardware WP pin + software-configurable 128-Kbit zones), factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, and wettable flank VDFN-8 package optimized for automated optical inspection in automotive PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The 24CSM01-E/MS implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and slope-controlled outputs to suppress ground bounce and noise. Its memory architecture comprises a 131,072 × 8-bit main array organized into 512 pages of 256 bytes each, plus a dedicated 4-Kbit security register containing a read-only 128-bit serial number followed by 256 bytes of user-lockable ID space.
Device operation is governed by a programmable Configuration register that enables either legacy hardware write protection or enhanced software-defined zone protection - configurable per eight independent 128-Kbit blocks. The built-in ECC logic corrects single-bit errors within any four-byte read window and latches error occurrence status via the Error Correction State (ECS) bit.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
24CSM01-E/MS is supplied in an 8-lead Wettable Flank VDFN package (3 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), designed for solder joint inspection via AOI. Exposed pad may be connected to VSS or left floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or pull-up required. |
| A1, A2 | Hardware device address inputs | Set 2-bit client address for multi-drop I²C bus; hardwire to VSS/VCC to select one of four possible addresses (0x50–0x53). |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; connect directly to system ground plane. |
| SDA | Open-drain bidirectional data line | Requires external pull-up resistor (330 Ω for 3.4 MHz); supports ACK/NACK signaling and multi-master arbitration. |
| SCL | Open-drain clock input | Driven by host MCU only; slope control minimizes ground bounce during fast edge transitions. |
| WP | Hardware write-protect enable | Tie to VCC to disable all writes to main array and security register; ignored when Enhanced Software Write Protection is active. |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–5.5V; internal POR circuit enforces 100 µs delay before first command acceptance after stable rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-bit factory serial number | Uniquely identifies each unit across CS-series EEPROMs - eliminates line-side serialization and enables traceability without host firmware overhead. |
| Enhanced software write protection | Configures eight independent 128-Kbit zones for granular protection - allows secure bootloader region locking while permitting runtime parameter updates elsewhere. |
| Built-in ECC logic | Corrects single-bit errors per 4-byte read window and sets ECS latch - prevents silent data corruption in safety-critical configuration storage. |
| I²C Manufacturer ID support | Returns unique 24-bit identifier on reserved host code access - enables automatic device enumeration and firmware version validation during system startup. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C operation with full temperature cycling and HTOL stress - certified for powertrain and chassis control applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24CS128-MAHM-T | 128-Kbit capacity, same 8-lead MSOP package, 1.7–5.5V, but lacks security register and ECC. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics where serialization and error correction are not required. | Select only if memory size and basic I²C compatibility suffice; cannot replace 24CSM01-E/MS in automotive or medical use cases requiring traceability or data integrity assurance. |
| BR24G1ME-3AE2 | 1-Mbit, 3.4 MHz I²C, 1.7–5.5V, includes 128-bit ID but no ECC or software-configurable zone protection. | Designed for industrial IoT gateways needing unique identification but not safety-critical error correction. | Use where serial number suffices and ECC is non-mandatory; does not support the same level of write-protection granularity or AEC-Q100 qualification. |
Compared with AT24CS128-MAHM-T and BR24G1ME-3AE2, the 24CSM01-E/MS uniquely combines automotive-grade reliability, on-die ECC, and software-definable memory protection - making it the only option among the three qualified for ASIL-B relevant configuration storage.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on the 24CSM01-E/MS?
The NC (No Connect) pin on the 24CSM01-E/MS is internally unconnected and serves no electrical function. It must remain unconnected - neither tied to VCC nor VSS - and requires no PCB trace or decoupling. This pin is present for mechanical symmetry in the 8-lead VDFN package and has no impact on 24CSM01-E/MS operation or timing behavior.
Does the 24CSM01-E/MS support true drop-in replacement for legacy 24C series EEPROMs?
The 24CSM01-E/MS maintains I²C protocol compatibility with standard 24C devices but is not a pin-compatible drop-in replacement due to its expanded feature set and distinct memory map. While it accepts standard device address formats (0x50–0x53), the 24CSM01-E/MS introduces dedicated access modes for its security and configuration registers - requiring firmware updates to leverage its full capabilities. Legacy reads/writes to the main array remain functional.
How does the Error Correction State (ECS) latch in the 24CSM01-E/MS operate?
The ECS latch in the 24CSM01-E/MS is a read-only bit in the Configuration register that is automatically set to '1' whenever the internal ECC logic detects and corrects a single-bit error during a four-byte read operation. It remains asserted until cleared by a power cycle or hardware reset - enabling host firmware to log potential memory stress events. The 24CSM01-E/MS does not provide automatic ECC status polling; reading the Configuration register is required to monitor ECS state.
Can the 24CSM01-E/MS be used in systems operating below 1.7V?
No, the 24CSM01-E/MS is specified for operation only within 1.7V to 5.5V. Below 1.7V, internal voltage regulation and POR circuitry cannot guarantee reliable initialization or data retention. Attempting to operate the 24CSM01-E/MS at 1.6V or lower risks incomplete write cycles, corrupted reads, and undefined behavior - particularly during power-up sequences where VPOR threshold (≤1.5V) may be crossed without sufficient margin.
What happens when the WP pin is driven high while Enhanced Software Write Protection is enabled on the 24CSM01-E/MS?
When Enhanced Software Write Protection is active, the WP pin on the 24CSM01-E/MS is ignored - meaning driving it high has no effect on write permissions. Protection is instead enforced solely by the Configuration register's zone-lock bits. The WP pin retains functionality only in Legacy Mode; in Enhanced Mode, write access is determined exclusively by software configuration, allowing dynamic re-protection without hardware changes. This behavior is explicitly defined in Section 2.4 of the 24CSM01-E/MS datasheet.
