Product details
Overview
24LC014HT-I/SN from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8-bit memory, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V with 1 MHz clock support, 1 μA standby current, and hardware write-protection for addresses 40h–7Fh. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and firmware parameters in industrial controllers and sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC014HT-I/SN datasheet, 24LC014HT-I/SN pinout, 24LC014HT-I/SN application, or 24LC014HT-I/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range (2.5–5.5V), 1 MHz I²C timing compliance, half-array hardware write-protect, 8-pin SOIC package compatibility, and automotive-grade temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The 24LC014HT-I/SN implements a true I²C slave interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs, slope-controlled outputs, and internal address pointer auto-increment for sequential reads. Its control logic supports standard and fast-mode I²C protocols up to 1 MHz under VCC ≥ 2.5V, with acknowledge polling for write-cycle completion detection.
It features a 16-byte page write buffer, self-timed erase/write cycles (max 5 ms), and a dedicated WP pin that enables hardware-level protection of the upper 64 bytes (40h–7Fh) when pulled high. The device uses on-chip HV generation and EEPROM array architecture optimized for >1 million endurance cycles and >200 years data retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), single-block organization enabling simple address mapping and contiguous byte access |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to 3.3V and 5V logic rails without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 1 MHz - enables high-throughput configuration writes in time-critical boot sequences |
| Write Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - sufficient for daily parameter updates over 27+ years of field operation |
| Data Retention | 200 years at 25°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure monitoring devices |
| Standby Current | 1 μA maximum - minimizes battery drain in always-on IoT edge sensors and backup power systems |
| Hardware Write Protect | WP pin enables permanent lock of upper 64 bytes (40h–7Fh) - prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration constants |
Pinout & Package
24LC014HT-I/SN is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (150 mil) package with gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body size 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.75 mm, and Pb-free matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable I²C slave address bit A0 - sets LSB of 7-bit address (1010A2A1A0) to enable up to eight devices on one bus |
| A1 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable I²C slave address bit A1 - determines unique device addressing in multi-EEPROM configurations |
| A2 | Chip Select Input | User-configurable I²C slave address bit A2 - MSB of chip select bits; must be hard-wired to VSS or VCC before operation |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and I/O leakage currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line - requires external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ typical for 1 MHz) and supports I²C ACK/NACK signaling |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock input - synchronizes all read/write transfers; includes Schmitt trigger for noise immunity |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock - when tied to VCC, disables writes to memory addresses 40h–7Fh; no software override |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.5–5.5V) - powers EEPROM core, I/O buffers, and HV generator; includes brown-out detection below 1.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| I²C Fast Mode Support | 1 MHz clock rate at VCC ≥ 2.5V - reduces firmware update time by 2.5× vs. 400 kHz devices in production programming |
| Page Write Buffer | 16-byte buffer - enables atomic storage of multi-byte configuration structures (e.g., 12-byte sensor offset + gain set) without intermediate reads |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Hysteresis ≥ 0.05 VCC on SDA/SCL - rejects >50 ns noise spikes, eliminating external RC filtering in electrically noisy motor-control environments |
| Output Slope Control | Controlled SDA fall time ≤ 300 ns - prevents ground bounce during high-speed switching, ensuring signal integrity on shared PCB return planes |
| Address Line Flexibility | A0–A2 pins support 8-device daisy-chain - allows scalable memory expansion to 8 Kbits using identical firmware across variants |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Automotive Sensor Calibration |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Storing tariff schedules, metering constants, and communication keys in ANSI C12.19-compliant smart electricity meters deployed in utility grids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure configuration store - isolated from main MCU flash; accessed only during secure boot and OTA updates via authenticated I²C transactions. Use Value: Enables field updates of billing logic without exposing sensitive keys to host processor; 1 μA standby current extends battery backup life during grid outages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC014T-I/OT | Same 1 Kbit capacity and 1 MHz speed, but in SOT-23-6 package (5-pin); lacks A0/A1/A2 pins - fixed slave address only | Single-device systems where board space is constrained and multi-drop bus is unnecessary | Select when footprint reduction outweighs bus scalability; verify fixed address (1010000b) avoids I²C conflicts |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | 1 Kbit EEPROM with 1 MHz I²C, but rated for industrial temp only (–40°C to +85°C); no hardware write-protect pin - protection implemented via software lock bits | Cost-sensitive consumer electronics where automotive qualification is not required | Choose for non-automotive designs needing lower unit cost; confirm software-based protection meets security requirements |
Compared with 24LC014HT-I/SN, the 24LC014T-I/OT sacrifices bus flexibility for ultra-compact packaging, while the AT24C01D-SSHM-T trades automotive qualification and hardware write-protection for lower procurement cost in commercial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC014HT-I/SN?
The 24LC014HT-I/SN supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is between 2.5V and 5.5V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table (Param. No. 1, FCLK) of the DS22077B datasheet. At lower voltages (<2.5V), the device defaults to 400 kHz or 100 kHz operation depending on VCC level. The 1 MHz capability enables faster configuration loading in time-sensitive applications such as automotive ECU boot sequences.
How does the hardware write-protection feature work on the 24LC014HT-I/SN?
The 24LC014HT-I/SN uses the WP pin to enable hardware write-protection for memory addresses 40h–7Fh (upper 64 bytes). When WP is tied to VCC, writes to this half-array are blocked regardless of software commands; only addresses 00h–3Fh remain writable. If WP is tied to VSS, full-array write access is enabled. This protection is implemented in silicon and cannot be overridden by firmware, making it ideal for safeguarding factory-calibrated data.
What package type is used for the 24LC014HT-I/SN?
The 24LC014HT-I/SN is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with 150 mil body width, per JEDEC MS-012AC. The "SN" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this SOIC package. Pin layout matches standard 8-pin SOIC footprints, supporting automated assembly and compatibility with legacy PCB designs using similar Microchip EEPROMs.
Does the 24LC014HT-I/SN support page write operations, and what is the buffer size?
Yes, the 24LC014HT-I/SN supports page write operations with a 16-byte buffer. After sending the control byte and word address, the master can transmit up to 16 data bytes before issuing a Stop condition; the device then executes a single self-timed write cycle. Page writes improve efficiency when storing multi-byte parameters (e.g., 12-byte calibration vectors), reducing I²C transaction overhead compared to individual byte writes.
What is the temperature rating for the 24LC014HT-I/SN, and what does the "T-I" suffix indicate?
The "T-I" suffix in 24LC014HT-I/SN indicates Automotive (E) temperature grade with Industrial (I) marking - however, per the Device Selection Table in DS22077B, the 24LC014H variant is qualified for –40°C to +125°C (Automotive E grade). The "I" in the suffix reflects marking convention, not reduced spec; the device meets full AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-hood automotive applications.
