Product details
Overview
24LC014HT-E/ST from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with hardware write protection for the upper half-array (40h–7Fh), 1 MHz max clock support at 2.5V–5.5V, and automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, slope-controlled outputs, 16-byte page write buffer, and 1 million erase/write cycles - deployed in engine control units, battery management systems, and automotive infotainment configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC014HT-E/ST datasheet, 24LC014HT-E/ST pinout, 24LC014HT-E/ST application, or 24LC014HT-E/ST equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive temperature compliance, real-world use cases, and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The 24LC014HT-E/ST implements a standard I²C slave interface with fixed 7-bit address prefix '1010', three programmable chip-select bits (A0–A2), and R/W bit control. Its internal architecture includes an address pointer, page buffer, HV generator for EEPROM programming, and dedicated write-protect logic tied to the WP pin.
It supports byte and page write modes with self-timed internal erase/write cycles (max 5 ms), acknowledges only after successful address matching, and disables write operations during active VCC < 1.5 V via built-in threshold detection. Noise immunity is achieved through Schmitt-trigger inputs and 50 ns input filter spike suppression on SDA/SCL.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit array), organized as single block - enables simple address mapping without bank switching. |
| Interface | I²C-compatible 2-wire bus (SDA/SCL), supports 100 kHz / 400 kHz / 1 MHz - compatible with legacy and high-speed microcontroller peripherals. |
| VCC Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - validated for automotive 3.3 V and 5 V supply rails; excludes sub-2.5 V operation. |
| Temperature Grade | Automotive (E): −40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-hood applications. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - specified at 25°C, VCC = 5.5 V; ensures long-term reliability in firmware parameter logging. |
| Data Retention | 200 years - guaranteed minimum retention at +85°C; critical for safety-critical calibration data storage. |
| Write Protection | Hardware-enabled half-array protection (addresses 40h–7Fh) via WP pin tied to VCC - prevents accidental overwrite of critical configuration sectors. |
Pinout & Package
24LC014HT-E/ST is supplied in an 8-pin TSSOP package (3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and Pb-free. Pin numbering follows standard JEDEC MS-012AA outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable LSB of 3-bit device address; allows up to eight devices on same I²C bus when combined with A1/A2. |
| A1 | Chip Select Input | Middle bit of device address; must be hard-wired to VSS or VCC - not floating - to ensure deterministic slave selection. |
| A2 | Chip Select Input | MSB of device address; sets unique I²C slave address (1010 A2 A1 A0 R/W); enables contiguous 8 Kbit expansion across devices. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ typical for 1 MHz operation); transmits/receives addresses and data. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock signal; synchronizes all data transfers; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise below 50 ns spikes. |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high enable: tie to VCC to lock addresses 40h–7Fh; tie to VSS for full-array write access. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5 V–5.5 V operating range; internal voltage detector disables writes if VCC drops below 1.5 V nominal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C Compatibility | Validated timing at 2.5 V–5.5 V (THIGH ≥ 500 ns, TLOW ≥ 500 ns) - enables faster parameter updates in real-time automotive subsystems. |
| Page Write Buffer (16 bytes) | Reduces total write time vs. byte writes; allows burst programming of configuration blocks without intermediate stop conditions. |
| Schmitt Trigger + 50 ns Filtering | Eliminates false Start/Stop detection on noisy vehicle harnesses; meets ISO 11898-2 EMC robustness expectations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01C-SSHM-T | 1 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7V–5.5V VCC, industrial temp (−40°C to +85°C), no hardware WP pin. | Lacks half-array write protection; requires software-based locking or external logic for critical data isolation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hardware-level write security and automotive temperature range is not required. |
| BR24G01NUX-5TR | 1 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.6V–5.5V VCC, automotive grade (−40°C to +125°C), built-in WP function but different pinout (WP on pin 3, not pin 7). | Requires PCB layout revision due to non-identical pin mapping; WP functionality implemented differently (active-low vs. active-high). | Choose only if redesigning board layout is acceptable and BR24G01NUX-5TR's lower 1.6 V min VCC supports ultra-low-voltage subsystems. |
Compared with AT24C01C-SSHM-T and BR24G01NUX-5TR, the 24LC014HT-E/ST uniquely combines automotive temperature qualification, pin-identical hardware write protection, and 1 MHz I²C speed - making it the only drop-in option for existing TSSOP-based ECU designs requiring guaranteed data integrity under harsh conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC014HT-E/ST?
The 24LC014HT-E/ST supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency when operated within its specified VCC range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and temperature grade (−40°C to +125°C). This is explicitly confirmed in the Device Selection Table and AC Characteristics section of DS22077B, distinguishing it from the 24AA014H variant limited to 400 kHz. The 24LC014HT-E/ST achieves this via optimized internal timing and reduced THIGH/TLOW requirements.
Does the 24LC014HT-E/ST include hardware write protection, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the 24LC014HT-E/ST includes hardware write protection for the upper half of its memory array (addresses 40h–7Fh). This feature is activated by tying the WP pin (pin 7) to VCC. When WP = VCC, writes to that protected region are blocked; writes to the lower half (00h–3Fh) remain permitted. If WP is tied to VSS, full-array write access is enabled. This behavior is electrically enforced and does not require firmware intervention.
What package type is used for the 24LC014HT-E/ST, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The 24LC014HT-E/ST uses an 8-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153 variant), marked "T" in Microchip's packaging nomenclature. Its body dimensions are 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 1.2 mm maximum height. This compact surface-mount package supports automated assembly and meets IPC/JEDEC standards for automotive-grade thermal cycling and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with the 24LC014HT-E/ST, and what determines uniqueness?
Up to eight 24LC014HT-E/ST devices can operate on the same I²C bus. Uniqueness is determined by the combination of the fixed 4-bit control code (1010b) and the three user-configurable chip-select inputs A0, A1, and A2. Each device must have a distinct A2:A1:A0 logic state (e.g., 000, 001, ..., 111) to generate a unique 7-bit slave address (1010 A2 A1 A0), enabling individual addressing without bus contention.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the 24LC014HT-E/ST?
The 24LC014HT-E/ST is rated for 1 million erase/write cycles and guarantees 200 years of data retention at +85°C. These specifications are confirmed in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics tables of DS22077B. Endurance is characterized at 25°C and VCC = 5.5 V; retention is extrapolated from accelerated testing per industry-standard models and applies to stored data across the full automotive temperature range.
