Product details
Overview
24LC01BHT-E/ST from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8-bit memory with hardware write-protect for the upper half-array (40h–7Fh), 400 kHz max clock frequency at VCC ≥ 2.5V, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports page writes of up to 8 bytes, and delivers ≤1 μA standby current - used in embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration data retention, and firmware parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC01BHT-E/ST datasheet, 24LC01BHT-E/ST pinout, 24LC01BHT-E/ST application, or 24LC01BHT-E/ST equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal mapping, I²C timing compliance details, and validated alternative parts for design continuity and supply chain resilience.
Technical Context
The 24LC01BHT-E/ST implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL for noise immunity, internal address pointer auto-increment for sequential reads, and a dedicated WP pin that enables hardware-level write protection of addresses 40h–7Fh when pulled high. Its EEPROM array uses CMOS floating-gate technology with >1 million erase/write cycles and >200 years data retention.
It supports byte and page write modes, acknowledges slave address (1010xxx0/1) with no device addressing via A0–A2 pins (unconnected internally), and features built-in VCC threshold detection to inhibit writes below 1.5V. Timing complies with standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C specifications across its rated voltage and temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), sufficient for small configuration tables or calibration coefficients |
| VCC operating range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems without level shifting |
| Max I²C clock frequency | 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 2.5V - enables faster parameter updates than standard-mode I²C |
| Page write capacity | Up to 8 bytes per write cycle - reduces bus transactions for multi-byte updates |
| Write-protect scope | Hardware-enforced protection of upper 512 bits (40h–7Fh) via WP pin - prevents accidental overwrites of critical firmware data |
| Endurance & retention | ≥1 million erase/write cycles and >200 years data retention - suitable for long-life industrial deployments |
| Standby current | ≤1 μA at VCC = 5.5V - minimizes power draw in battery-backed or energy-constrained nodes |
Pinout & Package
24LC01BHT-E/ST is supplied in an 8-lead Plastic Thin Shrink Small Outline (TSSOP) package (4.4 mm body width), RoHS-compliant and Pb-free. Pin 1 is A0 (no internal connection); pins A1 and A2 are also unconnected. VSS (pin 4) and VCC (pin 8) provide power rails; SDA (pin 5) and SCL (pin 6) form the bidirectional I²C bus; WP (pin 7) controls write protection; all pins except VSS/VCC require external pull-up resistors per I²C specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without functional impact |
| A1 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - does not affect device addressing or I²C slave address (fixed 1010xxx) |
| A2 | Address input (NC) | No internal connection - eliminates need for external address selection logic |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance for stable EEPROM operation |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; carries address, command, and data |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all I²C transfers; edge-sensitive timing critical for ACK/NACK |
| WP | Write-protect control | Pull high to disable writes to 40h–7Fh; pull low for full-array read/write access |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.5V–5.5V supply; internal voltage detector disables writes if VCC drops below ~1.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL | Enables reliable operation on noisy PCBs or long traces by rejecting sub-50 ns spikes and improving noise margin |
| Output slope control | Prevents ground bounce during output transitions - critical for stable signaling in mixed-signal systems |
| Half-array hardware write-protect | Physically blocks writes to upper 512 bits (40h–7Fh) without software overhead or fuse programming |
| 100 kHz / 400 kHz I²C compatibility | Supports both standard and fast-mode timing - allows reuse across legacy and performance-optimized designs |
| Factory programmable option | Enables pre-loading of boot configuration or security keys at manufacturing - reduces field programming steps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA01HT-I/ST | Lower VCC min (1.7V), same 1 Kbit density and TSSOP-8 package; A0–A2 pins also NC | Better suited for 1.8V systems or battery-powered devices with brown-out conditions | Select when operating below 2.5V is required; verify WP behavior and timing specs match system clock rate |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | Same 1 Kbit, TSSOP-8, I²C-compatible; supports 1.7–5.5V; no hardware half-array write-protect | Lacks dedicated WP pin functionality - requires software-based protection or external logic for write control | Choose when full-array write access is needed and hardware lock is unnecessary; confirm ESD rating (4 kV vs. AT24C01D's 2.5 kV) |
Compared with 24LC01BHT-E/ST, the 24AA01HT-I/ST offers wider voltage flexibility but identical pinout and protection scheme, while the AT24C01D-SSHM-T trades hardware write-protect for broader voltage support and slightly lower ESD tolerance - impacting robustness in electrically noisy environments.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the 24LC01BHT-E/ST?
The 24LC01BHT-E/ST contains 1 Kbit (128 words × 8 bits) of EEPROM memory, arranged as a single block with linear addressing from 00h to 7Fh. It supports both byte-write and page-write (up to 8 bytes) operations, with internal address pointer auto-increment enabling sequential reads across the full array without reissuing the address.
Does the 24LC01BHT-E/ST require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24LC01BHT-E/ST has open-drain SDA and SCL outputs and requires external pull-up resistors. Typical values are 10 kΩ for 100 kHz operation and 2 kΩ for 400 kHz, referenced to VCC. Proper resistor selection ensures rise time compliance per I²C AC specifications across voltage and temperature ranges.
How does the WP pin function on the 24LC01BHT-E/ST?
When WP is tied to VCC, the 24LC01BHT-E/ST hardware-write-protects memory addresses 40h–7Fh (upper 512 bits); reads remain enabled. When WP is tied to VSS, full-array read/write access is permitted. The pin has no effect during read operations and does not require debouncing or filtering.
Is the 24LC01BHT-E/ST compatible with fast-mode I²C (400 kHz)?
Yes, the 24LC01BHT-E/ST supports 400 kHz clock frequency when VCC is 2.5V or higher. At VCC < 2.5V, maximum clock speed defaults to 100 kHz. All AC timing parameters - including THIGH, TLOW, and setup/hold times - are guaranteed across this dual-speed capability per DS22104A.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the 24LC01BHT-E/ST?
The 24LC01BHT-E/ST guarantees more than 1 million erase/write cycles and greater than 200 years of data retention at +25°C. These values are characterized and ensured per Microchip's Total Endurance™ Model; actual retention decreases logarithmically with elevated temperature but remains >100 years at +85°C.
