Product details
Overview
24FC04HT-I/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, 16-byte page write buffer, and hardware half-array write-protection (100h–1FFh). It targets embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration data retention, and industrial control parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the 24FC04HT-I/MUY datasheet, 24FC04HT-I/MUY pinout, 24FC04HT-I/MUY application, or 24FC04HT-I/MUY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 MHz I²C speed at 1.7V, industrial/extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), TDFN-8 package footprint, and write-protect granularity for firmware-safe parameter zones.
Technical Context
The 24FC04HT-I/MUY implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and slope-controlled outputs to suppress noise and eliminate ground bounce. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes, while the 16-byte page buffer enables efficient bulk writes without host-side timing constraints.
Write protection is implemented via the WP pin: tied to VCC, it disables writes to addresses 100h–1FFh (half-array), leaving 000h–0FFh freely writable; tied to VSS, full array access is enabled. Acknowledge polling allows bus-efficient detection of write-cycle completion without fixed delays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 Kbit (512 × 8), split into two independent 256-word blocks for modular data partitioning |
| Interface | I²C-compatible two-wire bus with 1 MHz max clock at 1.7–5.5V - enables high-speed configuration updates in power-constrained systems |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms (byte or page) - ensures predictable latency for critical parameter saves during system boot or fault recovery |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - supports daily recalibration logging over 27+ years of operation |
| Data Retention | >200 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of factory-trimmed coefficients and security keys |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - interoperates with 1.8V logic rails and legacy 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C (Extended grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor IoT nodes |
Pinout & Package
24FC04HT-I/MUY is housed in an 8-lead 2×3 mm TDFN package (Microchip drawing C04-057-TDFN) with exposed pad (optional VSS connection). Pin 1 is marked by chamfered corner; pins A0–A2 are unconnected (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | Not connected | No internal bond; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC with no functional impact |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for I/O and core logic; exposed pad may be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI improvement |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ typical for 1 MHz); transmits addresses, data, and ACK/NACK |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all transfers; Schmitt-trigger input rejects sub-50 ns noise spikes |
| WP | Write-protect control | Logic-high (VCC) enables half-array protection (100h–1FFh); logic-low (VSS) enables full-array write access |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 1.7–5.5V rail powers EEPROM core and I/O; 1 µA standby current minimizes battery drain in sleep mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C at 1.7V | Enables fast parameter loading in ultra-low-voltage systems (e.g., coin-cell-powered sensors) without sacrificing bus speed |
| Hardware half-array write-protect | Prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration data (100h–1FFh) while allowing runtime updates to user-configurable parameters (000h–0FFh) |
| 16-byte page write buffer | Reduces I²C transaction count by up to 16× versus byte-write - cuts firmware execution time and bus occupancy in firmware update routines |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs + slope control | Ensures reliable communication on noisy industrial buses (e.g., PLC backplanes) without external filtering components |
| 1,000,000 write cycles | Supports daily firmware patching or sensor recalibration for >27 years - eliminates field-replacement due to wear-out |

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 | Max clock 400 kHz at 1.7V; rated only for Industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temp range | Limited to non-automotive, non-extended-temp designs; lower speed reduces throughput in high-bandwidth config loads | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/temp requirements and full 1 MHz operation is unnecessary |
| AT24C04D-SSHM-T | Same 4-Kbit size, 1.7–5.5V, but rated for Industrial temp only; lacks extended-temp qualification and AEC-Q100 certification | Not suitable for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments requiring +125°C operation | Choose for consumer-grade applications where AEC-Q100 and extended temperature are not mandated |
Compared with 24AA04HT-I/MUY and AT24C04D-SSHM-T, the 24FC04HT-I/MUY delivers 2.5× faster I²C throughput at low voltage and certified operation up to +125°C - making it the sole choice for automotive body electronics and industrial edge controllers demanding both speed and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24FC04HT-I/MUY?
The 24FC04HT-I/MUY supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency across its full 1.7V–5.5V supply range. This is confirmed in the Device Selection Table and AC Characteristics section (Param. No. 1, FCLK), distinguishing it from the 24AA04H (max 400 kHz) and 24LC04BH (max 400 kHz, min 2.5V). The 1 MHz capability enables faster configuration writes in real-time systems.
How does the write-protect feature function on the 24FC04HT-I/MUY?
The WP pin on the 24FC04HT-I/MUY controls hardware write-protection: when tied to VCC, writes to memory addresses 100h–1FFh are inhibited while reads remain enabled; when tied to VSS, full-array write access is permitted. This half-array protection is implemented entirely within the device and requires no software overhead, ensuring safety-critical data remains immutable.
Is the 24FC04HT-I/MUY qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 24FC04HT-I/MUY is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for Extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive body electronics, infotainment subsystems, and ADAS sensor modules. Its qualification is explicitly stated in the Features section and confirmed in the Device Selection Table under Temp. Ranges.
What package type is used for the 24FC04HT-I/MUY?
The 24FC04HT-I/MUY uses an 8-lead 2×3 mm TDFN package (Microchip package code Q4B), as listed in the Device Selection Table. This compact, surface-mount package features an exposed pad for thermal and EMI performance, and is distinct from SOIC, MSOP, or SOT-23 variants offered in the same family.
Does the 24FC04HT-I/MUY require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24FC04HT-I/MUY requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I/O pins are open-drain. The datasheet recommends 2 kΩ for 1 MHz operation, 10 kΩ for 100 kHz - values selected to meet rise-time specifications (TR ≤ 1000 ns) while minimizing power consumption in battery-operated systems.
