Product details
Overview
24LC014H-I/MS from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports up to 1 MHz clock frequency, features hardware write-protection for the upper half-array (40h–7Fh), and delivers ≤1 μA standby current at −40°C to +85°C. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and firmware parameters.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC014H-I/MS datasheet, 24LC014H-I/MS pinout, 24LC014H-I/MS application, or 24LC014H-I/MS equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (2.5V–5.5V), 1 MHz I²C timing support, MSOP-8 package footprint, half-array hardware write protection, and guaranteed 1 million erase/write cycles with >200-year data retention.
Technical Context
The 24LC014H-I/MS implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and output slope control to suppress noise and eliminate ground bounce. Its internal address counter enables sequential, random, and current-address read modes, while the 16-byte page write buffer allows efficient burst programming without host-side timing constraints.
Hardware write protection is implemented via the WP pin: when tied to VCC, addresses 40h–7Fh are locked against writes; when tied to VSS, full array access is permitted. The device uses an internal high-voltage generator and auto-erase logic to complete self-timed byte or page writes within ≤5 ms, independent of bus clock rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8 bits), organized as single block - simplifies address management and eliminates bank switching logic. |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting. |
| Max I²C Clock Frequency | 1 MHz - enables faster configuration loading versus 100 kHz/400 kHz EEPROMs, reducing boot time in time-critical systems. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - supports frequent field updates such as logging or parameter tuning in industrial controllers. |
| Data Retention | Greater than 200 years at 25°C - ensures long-term reliability for unattended equipment like utility meters or remote sensors. |
| Standby Current | ≤1 μA at −40°C to +85°C - critical for battery-powered devices where quiescent power directly impacts service life. |
| Page Write Buffer | 16 bytes - allows single-burst writes across contiguous addresses, minimizing I²C transaction overhead and host CPU intervention. |
| Write Protection | Hardware-enabled for 40h–7Fh (64 bytes) via WP pin - prevents accidental overwrites of critical calibration or security keys during firmware updates. |
Pinout & Package
24LC014H-I/MS is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in industrial and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable slave address bit; sets bit A0 of 7-bit I²C address (1010A2A1A0) - enables up to eight devices on one bus. |
| A1 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable slave address bit; sets bit A1 of 7-bit I²C address - allows unique addressing in multi-device configurations. |
| A2 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable slave address bit; sets bit A2 of 7-bit I²C address - required for expanding memory capacity beyond 1 Kbit via daisy-chained devices. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance trace. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; requires external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ typical for 1 MHz operation) - carries address, command, and data. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock signal synchronizing all I²C transfers; Schmitt-trigger input ensures noise immunity on shared buses. |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high enable for hardware lock of upper 64-byte memory block (40h–7Fh); tied to VCC to prevent unintended writes during power transitions. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Positive supply input (2.5V–5.5V); includes internal voltage detector that disables write logic below 1.5V to prevent corruption during brownout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| I²C Bus Compatibility | Fully compliant with Philips I²C specification, supporting standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), and fast-plus (1 MHz) modes - interoperable with legacy and modern microcontrollers. |
| Noise Immunity | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 50 ns input filter spike suppression - maintains reliable communication in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or PLC backplanes. |
| Low-Power Operation | 400 μA max active current and 1 μA max standby current - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures. |
| Self-Timed Writes | Internal write cycle completes autonomously in ≤5 ms; no external timing control needed - simplifies firmware and eliminates host wait-state polling overhead. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS | Matte tin (Sn) lead finish per JEDEC standards - meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and automotive end equipment. |
| Extended Temperature | Rated for −40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade) - validated for operation in harsh environments including factory automation, HVAC controls, and outdoor infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA014H-I/MS | Wider VCC range (1.7V–5.5V); max 400 kHz I²C; same MSOP-8 package and pinout | Supports ultra-low-voltage systems (e.g., coin-cell powered IoT nodes) but lacks 1 MHz speed for high-throughput logging | Select when operating below 2.5V or requiring extended low-VCC functionality; verify timing margins at 1.7V–1.8V. |
| AT24C01D-MAHM-T | 1 Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1.7V–5.5V VCC; 1 MHz max clock; TSSOP-8 package; no hardware write-protect pin | Software-controlled write protection only; requires firmware lock implementation instead of hardware-enforced half-array lock | Choose when board layout permits TSSOP-8 and application logic can manage write-enable state; not drop-in due to different pinout and missing WP function. |
Compared with 24LC014H-I/MS, the 24AA014H-I/MS offers broader voltage flexibility at lower speed, while the AT24C01D-MAHM-T provides 1 MHz performance in TSSOP but removes hardware write protection-making 24LC014H-I/MS optimal for industrial designs needing both speed and physical write-locking of critical memory regions.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC014H-I/MS?
The 24LC014H-I/MS supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is between 2.5V and 5.5V. This is confirmed in the Device Selection Table and AC Characteristics section of the DS22077B datasheet. At this speed, it achieves faster configuration reads and writes compared to standard 100 kHz EEPROMs, reducing system initialization time in time-sensitive applications.
Does the 24LC014H-I/MS have hardware write protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the 24LC014H-I/MS includes hardware write protection for the upper half of its memory array (addresses 40h–7Fh). This is controlled by the WP pin: when tied to VCC, writes to that 64-byte region are blocked; when tied to VSS, full array access is enabled. This feature is documented in Section 2.4 and Figure 6-2 of the DS22077B datasheet.
What package type is used for the 24LC014H-I/MS, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The 24LC014H-I/MS uses an 8-pin MSOP package (Mini Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and a 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size. Pin 1 marking and package outline are defined in DS22077B-page 15. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained industrial modules.
How many erase/write cycles does the 24LC014H-I/MS guarantee, and what is its data retention period?
The 24LC014H-I/MS guarantees 1 million erase/write cycles and greater than 200 years of data retention at 25°C, as specified in the Features list and Table 1-2 (Note 4) of DS22077B. These values are characterized-not tested per unit-but ensured through process and design validation across the industrial temperature range.
Can multiple 24LC014H-I/MS devices share the same I²C bus, and how is addressing managed?
Yes, up to eight 24LC014H-I/MS devices can share one I²C bus using the A0, A1, and A2 pins to configure unique 3-bit chip select codes. These pins form the three most significant bits of the 7-bit slave address (1010A2A1A0), allowing contiguous 8 Kbit expansion. This is detailed in Section 5.0 and Figure 5-1 of the DS22077B datasheet.
