Product details
Overview
24LC01BHT-E/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 400 kHz max clock frequency and industrial/automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It features hardware write-protect for half-array (40h–7Fh), 1 μA standby current, and 1 million erase/write cycles - deployed in embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration data retention, and power-management parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC01BHT-E/SN datasheet, 24LC01BHT-E/SN pinout, 24LC01BHT-E/SN application, or 24LC01BHT-E/SN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to SOIC-8, I²C timing constraints at 2.5V–5.5V, WP pin behavior under VCC/VSS bias, and real-world use cases in automotive control modules and industrial PLCs.
Technical Context
The 24LC01BHT-E/SN implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL for noise immunity and slope-controlled outputs to suppress ground bounce. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random, and sequential read modes, while the 8-byte page buffer enables efficient page writes with automatic address increment within physical page boundaries (00h–07h, 08h–0Fh, etc.).
Write protection is implemented via the WP pin: tied to VCC, it disables writes to addresses 40h–7Fh while permitting full read access; tied to VSS, full read/write operation is enabled. The device includes an internal VCC threshold detector that disables erase/write logic below 1.5V to prevent data corruption during brown-out conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), sufficient for firmware revision IDs, sensor offsets, or small configuration tables |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 2.5V; degrades to 100 kHz below 2.5V - defines maximum I²C bus throughput |
| Write Endurance | 1 million erase/write cycles - supports frequent recalibration or logging in field-deployed devices |
| Data Retention | 200 years at +25°C - ensures long-term reliability of stored calibration or security keys |
| Standby Current | 1 μA max (I-temp) - critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications |
| Page Write Time | 3 ms typical - determines minimum delay between successive page writes |
Pinout & Package
24LC01BHT-E/SN is packaged in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (3.90 mm body), designated by the /SN suffix per Microchip's part numbering system. Pin 1 is A0 (NC), Pin 2 is A1 (NC), Pin 3 is A2 (NC), Pin 4 is VSS (ground reference), Pin 5 is SDA (bidirectional open-drain I²C data line requiring external pull-up), Pin 6 is SCL (input-only I²C clock), Pin 7 is WP (write-protect input), and Pin 8 is VCC (2.5–5.5V supply).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC with no functional impact |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system GND |
| SDA | Bidirectional I²C data line | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up resistor (2 kΩ for 400 kHz, 10 kΩ for 100 kHz) |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated synchronous clock; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise spikes ≤50 ns |
| WP | Hardware write-protect control | High = protect addresses 40h–7Fh; Low = full read/write access; no effect on reads |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.5–5.5V operation; internal VCC detector disables writes below ~1.5V to prevent corruption |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Half-array hardware write-protection | WP pin tied to VCC blocks writes to upper 512 bits (40h–7Fh) while allowing full read access - enables secure storage of factory defaults alongside user-modifiable parameters |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs with 50 ns spike suppression | SDA/SCL inputs reject noise transients up to 50 ns, eliminating need for external RC filtering in electrically noisy environments like automotive engine bays |
| Page write capability (up to 8 bytes) | Reduces I²C transaction overhead vs. byte writes - cuts bus time by ~75% when updating contiguous configuration registers |
| 1 μA max standby current (I-temp) | Enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free IoT sensors or tamper-evident loggers |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant packaging | SOIC-8 (/SN) meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating or performance trade-offs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | Same 1 Kbit size, 1.7–5.5V VCC range, but supports 1 MHz I²C; no WP pin - write protection implemented via software lock bits | Lacks hardware WP; requires firmware coordination for dual-zone protection; better suited for designs needing higher-speed updates | Select if 1 MHz I²C bandwidth is required and WP functionality can be managed in software. |
| ST24C01-WDT6-TR (STMicroelectronics) | 1 Kbit, 1.8–5.5V, 400 kHz I²C, integrated WP pin, but only rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-temp); no automotive grade option | Not qualified for automotive E-temp (–40°C to +125°C); lacks 200-year retention spec - rated for 40 years | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where extended temperature and retention are not mandatory. |
Compared with 24LC01BHT-E/SN, AT24C01D-SSHM-T offers higher speed but removes hardware write protection, while ST24C01-WDT6-TR provides identical pinout and WP function but lacks automotive qualification and long-term data retention - making 24LC01BHT-E/SN the only choice for safety-critical automotive or infrastructure deployments requiring guaranteed 125°C operation and 200-year data integrity.

FAQ
What is the VCC operating voltage range for the 24LC01BHT-E/SN?
The 24LC01BHT-E/SN operates from 2.5V to 5.5V. Below 2.5V, its maximum I²C clock frequency drops to 100 kHz; operation below 2.5V is not supported. The device includes an internal VCC threshold detector that disables write operations when supply voltage falls below approximately 1.5V to prevent data corruption during brown-out conditions. This ensures robust behavior in automotive and industrial power environments where voltage transients occur.
How does the WP pin function on the 24LC01BHT-E/SN?
On the 24LC01BHT-E/SN, the WP (Write-Protect) pin enables hardware-level protection of the upper half of memory (addresses 40h–7Fh). When WP is tied to VCC, writes to that 512-bit block are inhibited while reads remain fully functional. When WP is tied to VSS (or left floating, though not recommended), full read/write access to all 128 bytes is enabled. This dual-zone architecture allows separation of factory-programmed calibration data from user-modifiable runtime parameters without software overhead.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC01BHT-E/SN?
The 24LC01BHT-E/SN supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when VCC is 2.5V or higher. At VCC < 2.5V, the maximum clock rate is reduced to 100 kHz. These limits are defined by AC timing parameters including THIGH, TLOW, and TSU:DAT, which scale with supply voltage. The device remains fully compliant with standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C specifications, enabling interoperability with common microcontroller I²C peripherals without custom timing adjustments.
Does the 24LC01BHT-E/SN support page writes, and what is the page size?
Yes, the 24LC01BHT-E/SN supports page writes of up to 8 bytes per operation. Its internal page buffer is 8 bytes wide, and physical page boundaries align to 8-byte intervals (e.g., 00h–07h, 08h–0Fh). Attempting a page write that crosses a boundary causes wraparound within the current page rather than spanning pages. This behavior requires firmware to validate address alignment before initiating multi-byte writes - a constraint confirmed in Figure 5-2 and Section 5.2 of the DS22104A datasheet.
What temperature ranges are supported by the 24LC01BHT-E/SN?
The 24LC01BHT-E/SN is qualified for both Industrial (I) and Automotive (E) temperature ranges: –40°C to +85°C and –40°C to +125°C respectively. The "E" in the part number denotes the extended automotive grade, validated per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. This dual qualification makes the 24LC01BHT-E/SN suitable for under-hood automotive applications, industrial motor drives, and other environments where sustained high-temperature operation is required without derating.
