Product details
Overview
24FC04HT-E/MUY from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 4-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as two 256 × 8-bit blocks, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V with 1 MHz clock support, 5 ms max page write time, and hardware half-array write-protection (100h–1FFh). It targets embedded systems requiring nonvolatile storage in space-constrained industrial and automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the 24FC04HT-E/MUY datasheet, 24FC04HT-E/MUY pinout, 24FC04HT-E/MUY application, or 24FC04HT-E/MUY equivalent, key selection factors include its extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), low 1 µA standby current at E-temp, 16-byte page buffer, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and TDFN-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 24FC04HT-E/MUY implements a two-wire I²C interface with addressable block selection via the B0 bit in the control byte, enabling access to either 256-word memory block. Its internal address pointer auto-increments during sequential reads and supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes.
It uses on-chip charge-pump circuitry for EEPROM programming, features self-timed erase/write cycles, and incorporates input filtering (50 ns spike suppression) and slope-controlled outputs to minimize ground bounce-critical for stable operation in electrically noisy environments like automotive body control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 Kbit (512 × 8), split into two independent 256-word blocks for selective addressing |
| Interface | I²C-compatible two-wire bus supporting 1 MHz clock at 1.7–5.5V - enables high-speed firmware parameter logging |
| Write Protection | Hardware-enabled half-array protection (100h–1FFh) via WP pin tied to VCC - prevents accidental overwrites of critical configuration data |
| Page Write Buffer | 16-byte buffer - reduces host MCU overhead by allowing burst writes without per-byte stop/start overhead |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million erase/write cycles and >200 years data retention - suitable for long-life industrial deployments |
| Supply Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - interoperable with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C (Extended grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial edge sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
24FC04HT-E/MUY is packaged in an 8-lead 2×3 mm TDFN (Thin Dual Flat No-lead) with exposed pad, optimized for thermal performance and board space efficiency in compact designs.
| 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 function or I²C address (fixed at 1010xxx0/1) |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad must be connected to VSS for thermal and EMI performance |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; transmits/receives addresses, commands, and data under SCL control |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; Schmitt-trigger input ensures noise immunity on rising/falling edges |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Logic-high disables writes to upper 256-byte block (100h–1FFh); logic-low enables full-memory write access |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.7–5.5V supply powering EEPROM core and I/O; supports brown-out tolerant operation down to 1.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C Clock Support | Enables 125 KB/s theoretical throughput - accelerates calibration data upload in test equipment and factory programming |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | 50 mV hysteresis (0.05×VCC) on SDA/SCL - rejects sub-50 ns noise spikes common in motor-drive or power-supply adjacent layouts |
| Output Slope Control | Controlled rise/fall times prevent ground bounce-induced glitches during fast switching - essential for mixed-signal SoC co-location |
| ESD Protection | >4 kV HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for robustness in handling-sensitive manufacturing and field service environments |
| Factory Programming | Pre-load of device-specific identifiers or calibration constants at wafer/test - reduces post-assembly firmware provisioning steps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA04HT-I/MUY | Same 4-Kbit capacity and TDFN-8 package, but rated only for Industrial temp (–40°C to +85°C) and max 400 kHz I²C clock | Suitable for consumer or commercial-grade products where extended temperature and 1 MHz speed are unnecessary | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive/industrial thermal requirements and high-speed logging is not needed |
| AT24C04D-MAHM-T | 4-Kbit I²C EEPROM in 8-lead TDFN, rated –40°C to +125°C, but lacks hardware half-array write-protect and has 100 kHz/400 kHz max clock (no 1 MHz mode) | Used where full-array write-enable is acceptable and lower-speed communication suffices for infrequent configuration updates | Choose when Microchip ecosystem integration is not required and RoHS-compliant sourcing from Microchip-alternative suppliers is preferred |
Compared with 24AA04HT-I/MUY, the 24FC04HT-E/MUY delivers 2.5× faster I²C throughput and extended temperature compliance; versus AT24C04D-MAHM-T, it provides deterministic hardware-based write protection and higher clock tolerance - both critical for functional safety and real-time data capture in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24FC04HT-E/MUY?
The 24FC04HT-E/MUY supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency across its full 1.7V–5.5V supply range, enabling faster configuration writes and parameter updates than legacy 400 kHz EEPROMs - a key advantage in time-critical boot sequences and factory programming workflows.
Does the 24FC04HT-E/MUY require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24FC04HT-E/MUY requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I/O pins are open-drain. Typical values are 2 kΩ for 1 MHz operation; resistor selection must account for bus capacitance, VCC level, and desired rise time per I²C specification.
How does the hardware write-protection feature work on the 24FC04HT-E/MUY?
When the WP pin of the 24FC04HT-E/MUY is tied to VCC, writes to memory addresses 100h–1FFh (upper 256 bytes) are inhibited while reads remain fully functional; tying WP to VSS enables full-memory read/write access - providing a simple, latch-free method to safeguard calibration or security keys.
Is the 24FC04HT-E/MUY pin-compatible with other members of the 24XX04H family?
Yes, the 24FC04HT-E/MUY shares identical pinout and footprint with all 24XX04H variants in the same package type (e.g., TDFN-8), including 24AA04HT-I/MUY and 24LC04BHT-E/MUY - enabling drop-in replacement where voltage, speed, and temperature requirements align.
What is the endurance rating and data retention specification for the 24FC04HT-E/MUY?
The 24FC04HT-E/MUY is rated for more than 1 million erase/write cycles and guarantees data retention exceeding 200 years at +25°C - validated per JEDEC standards - making it suitable for infrastructure and medical devices where field replacement is impractical or costly.
