Product details
Overview
24FC01T-E/SN from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8-bit memory with hardware write-protection, 1 MHz clock support at 1.7–5.5 V, and extended temperature operation to +125°C. It features an 8-byte page write buffer, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and <1 µA standby current - deployed in automotive body control modules for storing calibration data and configuration parameters.
For engineers reviewing the 24FC01T-E/SN datasheet, 24FC01T-E/SN pinout, 24FC01T-E/SN application, or 24FC01T-E/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 MHz I²C speed at low voltage (1.7 V), E-temp grade (-40°C to +125°C), hardware WP pin functionality, and SOIC-8 (SN) package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The 24FC01T-E/SN implements a two-wire I²C interface with fixed 7-bit client address (1010xxx) and R/W bit control, supporting byte and page write modes. Its internal Address Pointer auto-increments during sequential reads and wraps within 8-byte physical pages.
It uses on-chip high-voltage generation for EEPROM programming, includes noise-suppressing Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL, and enforces strict timing compliance: THIGH = 260 ns min and TAA = 450 ns max at 1.7–5.5 V, enabling robust operation in electrically noisy automotive environments.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without affecting operation |
| A1 | Address Input | No internal connection - unused; no impact on device addressing |
| A2 | Address Input | No internal connection - not required for 24FC01's fixed 7-bit address |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ typical for 1 MHz) |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Input-only clock line synchronized to host controller; drives internal timing logic |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high enable: tied to VCC blocks all writes; tied to VSS enables full read/write access |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.7–5.5 V); powers EEPROM array, logic, and HV generator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C Interface | Enables 2.5× faster configuration writes than 400 kHz EEPROMs, reducing boot-time latency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA01T-I/SN | Max clock 400 kHz; rated only to +85°C; same 1.7–5.5 V range and SOIC-8 package | Not qualified for under-hood or extended-temperature industrial use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/temp requirements and ambient stays ≤85°C |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | 1 MHz capable; -40°C to +125°C; but requires 2.5 V min supply and lacks factory-programming option | Not suitable for 1.8 V systems; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Choose if sourcing flexibility is prioritized and 2.5 V minimum supply is acceptable |
Compared with 24AA01T-I/SN, the 24FC01T-E/SN delivers 2.5× faster I²C throughput and extended temperature capability - critical for automotive and industrial edge nodes. Against AT24C01D-SSHM-T, it offers lower-voltage operation and AEC-Q100 qualification, making it preferable for safety-critical or battery-powered designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24FC01T-E/SN?
The 24FC01T-E/SN supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency across its full 1.7 V to 5.5 V supply range. This is higher than the 400 kHz limit of the 24AA01 and 24LC01B variants, enabling faster configuration writes in time-sensitive applications. Timing parameters such as THIGH (260 ns min) and TLOW (500 ns min) are specified to ensure reliable operation at this speed.
Does the 24FC01T-E/SN require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24FC01T-E/SN requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I/O pins are open-drain. For 1 MHz operation, a 2 kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended. The value scales inversely with bus capacitance and target speed - 10 kΩ is typical for 100 kHz, while 2 kΩ ensures adequate rise time at 1 MHz per AC specifications in DS20001711M.
How does the Write-Protect (WP) pin function on the 24FC01T-E/SN?
The WP pin on the 24FC01T-E/SN is an active-high hardware lock: when tied to VCC, it disables all write operations (byte and page) to the entire memory array (addresses 00h–7Fh), while read operations remain fully functional. When tied to VSS or left floating, normal read/write access is enabled. This provides deterministic, glitch-immune protection independent of firmware state.
Is the 24FC01T-E/SN AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the 24FC01T-E/SN is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in the device selection table and features list of DS20001711M. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and electrical performance - making it suitable for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability is mandated.
What package type does the 24FC01T-E/SN use, and is it compatible with standard SOIC-8 footprints?
The 24FC01T-E/SN uses the 8-lead SOIC package denoted by the "SN" suffix, conforming to JEDEC MS-012AC outline (3.90 mm width). It is fully compatible with standard SOIC-8 land patterns and pick-and-place tooling. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled corner or notch, and the package supports reflow soldering per Microchip's packaging specification.
