Product details

Overview

24LC00T-I/MC from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 128-bit (16 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM designed for low-power, space-constrained applications requiring nonvolatile storage of calibration data, device IDs, or manufacturing parameters. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, draws only 500 µA typical read current and 100 nA typical standby current, and supports 100 kHz/400 kHz clock rates in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).

For engineers reviewing the 24LC00T-I/MC datasheet, 24LC00T-I/MC pinout, 24LC00T-I/MC application, or 24LC00T-I/MC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-pin SOT-23 package, I²C slave addressing with fixed 4-bit device code '1010', self-timed 3 ms write cycle, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on SDA/SCL, and guaranteed >1 million erase/write cycles with >200-year data retention.

Technical Context

The 24LC00T-I/MC implements a true I²C-bus slave interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, requiring external pull-up resistors. Its internal address pointer enables current-address, random, and sequential read modes, while ACK polling allows bus-efficient write-cycle completion detection without fixed delays.

It features integrated Schmitt-trigger inputs and input filtering (50 ns spike suppression), slope-controlled outputs to minimize ground bounce, and a V_CC threshold detector that disables write operations below 2.5V - ensuring data integrity during brown-out conditions.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Memory size	128 bits (16 words × 8 bits); sufficient for small configuration or identification data without over-provisioning.
Supply voltage	2.5V to 5.5V; compatible with 3.3V and 5V systems, but not 1.8V - distinguishes it from 24AA00 variant.
Interface	I²C-compatible 2-wire serial bus; requires no additional protocol logic or level-shifting in standard implementations.
Write time	3 ms typical page write; enables rapid parameter updates without blocking host MCU for extended periods.
Endurance	1 million erase/write cycles; supports frequent field calibration or logging in industrial monitoring applications.
Data retention	200+ years at +85°C; ensures long-term reliability in unattended or maintenance-free deployments.
ESD protection	>4 kV HBM; provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge events.

Pinout & Package

24LC00T-I/MC is packaged in a 5-lead SOT-23 surface-mount package (Microchip drawing C04-028D [OT]), with pin 1 marked and pin 5 as V_CC. The exposed pad is not electrically connected and may be left floating or grounded per layout requirements.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (SCL)	Serial Clock input	Asynchronous master-generated clock; synchronizes all data transfers; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity.
2 (V_SS)	Ground reference	Return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance to support stable EEPROM operation.
3 (SDA)	Serial Data bidirectional I/O	Open-drain bus line; requires external pull-up; carries addresses, data, and ACK/NACK signals.
4 (NC)	No-connect	Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid unintended coupling or leakage paths.
5 (V_CC)	Power supply	Supplies core logic and memory array; includes built-in brown-out detection disabling writes below 2.5V.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Schmitt-trigger inputs	0.05×V_CC hysteresis on SDA/SCL; rejects noise spikes up to 50 ns, eliminating need for external RC filtering.
Output slope control	Controlled rise/fall times on SDA; prevents ground bounce and signal integrity issues in dense layouts.
Self-timed write cycle	No external timing components required; internal timer terminates write after ~3 ms, freeing host MCU resources.
ACK polling support	Host can poll readiness via repeated Start + control byte (R/W=0); avoids fixed delay loops and maximizes bus throughput.
Pb-free & RoHS compliant	Meets global environmental compliance standards; qualified for industrial reflow profiles without lead contamination risk.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
24AA00T-I/MC	Lower 1.8V min V_CC; identical 128-bit capacity, SOT-23 package, and I²C interface.	Better suited for 1.8V/2.5V battery-powered systems where 24LC00T-I/MC cannot operate.	Select 24AA00T-I/MC only if supply voltage drops below 2.5V; otherwise, 24LC00T-I/MC offers same functionality with higher noise margin.
AT24C01C-SSHM-T	1 Kbit (128 × 8) capacity; same 5-pin SOT-23 package; 1.7V–5.5V V_CC; supports 1 MHz I²C.	Higher density and faster clock support - appropriate when future expansion or higher throughput is anticipated.	Choose AT24C01C-SSHM-T if >128 bits are needed or if system design targets 1 MHz I²C; otherwise, 24LC00T-I/MC minimizes cost and layout area.

Compared with 24AA00T-I/MC, the 24LC00T-I/MC trades lower-voltage operation for improved noise immunity and tighter V_CC regulation; versus AT24C01C-SSHM-T, it offers smaller footprint and lower unit cost for minimal-storage use cases where 128 bits are sufficient.

FAQ

What is the minimum operating voltage for the 24LC00T-I/MC?

The 24LC00T-I/MC requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V, as specified in the Device Selection Table and Electrical Characteristics section. This distinguishes it from the 24AA00 variant (1.8V min) and ensures stable operation in 3.3V and 5V systems. Operation below 2.5V disables write functionality via an internal V_CC threshold detector.

Does the 24LC00T-I/MC support standard I²C addressing?

Yes, the 24LC00T-I/MC uses a fixed 4-bit device code of '1010' followed by three don't-care bits, resulting in a 7-bit slave address of 0x50 (when R/W = 0). It fully complies with I²C bus specifications including START/STOP conditions, ACK/NACK signaling, and clock stretching avoidance during internal write cycles.

How many write cycles can the 24LC00T-I/MC endure?

The 24LC00T-I/MC is rated for more than 1 million erase/write cycles, as confirmed in the Features section and AC Characteristics table. This endurance is ensured through characterization (not 100% tested) and supports frequent field updates in applications like sensor recalibration or configuration tuning over extended service life.

What package type is used for the 24LC00T-I/MC?

The 24LC00T-I/MC is supplied in a 5-lead SOT-23 package (Microchip drawing C04-028D [OT]), with pin 1 designated as SCL and pin 5 as V_CC. Pin 4 is NC (no-connect) and must remain unconnected on the PCB. The package is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

Can the 24LC00T-I/MC be used in automotive applications?

The 24LC00T-I/MC is rated for the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), not the automotive grade (–40°C to +125°C). While it may function in some under-dash environments, Microchip specifies the 24C00 variant for automotive use. For certified AEC-Q100 compliance, select 24C00E variants instead of 24LC00T-I/MC.
