Product details
Overview
24LC014T-E/ST 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 400 kHz clock support and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It delivers 1 mA typical active current, 1 µA standby current, and guarantees 1,000,000 erase/write cycles with >200 years data retention. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and device identity in industrial and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC014T-E/ST datasheet, 24LC014T-E/ST pinout, 24LC014T-E/ST application, or 24LC014T-E/ST equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6-lead SOT-23 package, automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), I²C bus compatibility up to 400 kHz, and hardware write-protection capability - all critical for reliable nonvolatile storage in space-constrained, high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
The 24LC014T-E/ST implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with slave addressing using A0/A1/A2 pins (A2 omitted in SOT-23), supporting up to four devices on one bus. Its internal architecture includes an on-chip page buffer enabling up to 16-byte page writes and an auto-erase/self-timed write cycle completing in ≤5 ms.
It features Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL for noise immunity, input hysteresis ≥0.05 VCC, and robust ESD protection (>4 kV). The device operates only in slave mode, requires external pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL, and uses acknowledge polling to detect write completion - no device response occurs during internal programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), single-block organization - simplifies address management and eliminates bank switching logic. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 3.3V and 5V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - enables faster configuration reads/writes than 100 kHz legacy I²C, improving system boot and update latency. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - supports frequent field updates such as logging, counter increments, or firmware parameter tuning. |
| Data Retention | >200 years at +25°C - ensures long-term integrity of stored calibration coefficients, serial numbers, or security keys across product lifetime. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (Automotive E-grade) - qualified for under-hood, powertrain, and ADAS module deployment. |
| Write Protection | Hardware-enabled via WP pin tied to VCC - prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware faults without software intervention. |
Pinout & Package
24LC014T-E/ST is housed in a 6-lead SOT-23 package (3.0 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.3 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable electronics. Pin 1 is marked by laser indentation; pin 1 is SCL, pin 2 is SDA, pin 3 is VSS, pin 4 is A1, pin 5 is A0, and pin 6 is VCC. The WP pin is not implemented in this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SCL) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all I²C transactions; requires external pull-up; must be driven by master only. |
| 2 (SDA) | Bidirectional Data I/O | Open-drain interface requiring external pull-up; carries addresses, commands, and data; changes only during SCL low. |
| 3 (VSS) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 4 (A1) | Chip Address Input | Part of 2-bit slave address (A1/A0); sets device I²C address (1010xx0) to enable multi-device bus sharing. |
| 5 (A0) | Chip Address Input | LSB of 2-bit slave address; combined with A1, allows up to four 24LC014T-E/ST devices on same I²C bus. |
| 6 (VCC) | Power Supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin to suppress supply noise during write cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Buffer (16 bytes) | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by batching writes - cuts bus time by ~85% vs. byte-write for 16-byte updates. |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle (≤5 ms) | Eliminates need for precise software timing delays; frees MCU resources during EEPROM programming. |
| Hardware Write Protection (WP) | Physically disables all writes when VCC is applied - prevents corruption during brown-out, reset, or firmware crash. |
| I²C Bus Compatibility (100/400 kHz) | Interoperates with legacy and high-speed controllers without protocol translation or clock stretching dependency. |
| ESD Protection (>4 kV HBM) | Withstands handling and board-level ESD events per JEDEC JS-001, reducing field failure risk in manufacturing and service. |

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, 1.7V–5.5V, 1 MHz I²C, 8-lead SOIC only - no SOT-23 option; lacks A2 pin but supports same 2-bit addressing. | Not qualified for automotive temp range; rated –40°C to +85°C only - unsuitable for under-hood use. | Select if higher-speed I²C (1 MHz) and SOIC packaging are acceptable, and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| BR24G01NUX-5TR | 1 Kbit, 1.6V–5.5V, 400 kHz I²C, 6-lead USON (2×2 mm) - smaller footprint than SOT-23; supports WP pin. | Industrial temp only (–40°C to +85°C); lower endurance (400k cycles); no automotive grade available. | Choose for ultra-compact designs where board area is critical and automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with AT24C01C-SSHM-T and BR24G01NUX-5TR, the 24LC014T-E/ST uniquely combines SOT-23 packaging, automotive temperature rating, hardware write protection, and Microchip's proven 1M-cycle endurance - making it the only drop-in solution for space-limited, high-reliability automotive EEPROM applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC014T-E/ST?
The 24LC014T-E/ST supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is 1.8V or higher. At VCC < 1.8V, the maximum clock rate drops to 100 kHz. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability with both legacy and modern microcontrollers while maintaining timing compliance across its full 2.5V–5.5V supply range.
Does the 24LC014T-E/ST have a write-protect pin, and how is it implemented?
No, the 24LC014T-E/ST does not include a WP pin - it is omitted in the 6-lead SOT-23 package. Hardware write protection is unavailable in this variant. To prevent unintended writes, system-level software control or external logic must manage write access, unlike 8-pin versions (e.g., 24LC014-I/P) which support WP functionality.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with the 24LC014T-E/ST?
Up to four 24LC014T-E/ST devices can operate on a single I²C bus. This is enabled by its 2-bit hardware address (A1/A0), generating four unique slave addresses (1010000, 1010001, 1010010, 1010011). The A2 pin is absent in the SOT-23 package, limiting address combinations to two bits instead of three.
What is the write endurance and data retention specification for the 24LC014T-E/ST?
The 24LC014T-E/ST guarantees 1,000,000 erase/write cycles and >200 years of data retention at +25°C. These values are characterized per Microchip DS21809G and apply across its full automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), ensuring long-term reliability in mission-critical applications like automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
Is the 24LC014T-E/ST RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 24LC014T-E/ST is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per Microchip's DS21809G documentation. It meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 matte tin (Sn) plating requirements, and the "T" in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free packaging. Full compliance documentation is available in Microchip's Pb-free conversion reports.
