Product details
Overview
24LC01BT-E/OT from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8-bit memory with hardware write-protection, 8-byte page write buffer, and operation down to 2.5V. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, slope-controlled outputs, and supports 400 kHz clock frequency across industrial and extended temperature ranges. It is commonly used for parameter storage in embedded controllers and sensor calibration data retention.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC01BT-E/OT datasheet, 24LC01BT-E/OT pinout, 24LC01BT-E/OT application, or 24LC01BT-E/OT equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range (2.5–5.5V), I²C timing compliance at 400 kHz, WP pin functionality, endurance (1M cycles), and extended-temperature qualification (-40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The 24LC01BT-E/OT implements a two-wire I²C interface with fixed 7-bit device address (1010xxx) and R/W bit control. Its internal architecture includes an 8-byte page latch, HV generator for EEPROM programming, and address pointer auto-increment logic supporting current-address, random, and sequential read modes.
Write protection is implemented via dedicated WP pin tied to VCC to inhibit all write operations; A0–A2 pins are unconnected and may be left floating. The device uses self-timed erase/write cycles with maximum 5 ms duration and supports acknowledge polling to detect write completion without fixed delays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), sufficient for small configuration tables or calibration coefficients in space-constrained designs. |
| VCC Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - requires stable supply above 2.5V; not compatible with 1.7–2.49V systems unlike 24AA01. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - defines maximum I²C bus throughput; timing parameters (THIGH, TLOW) validated for this rate at 2.5–5.5V. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - supports frequent reconfiguration in field-upgradable devices or logging applications. |
| Data Retention | 200 years - ensures long-term reliability of stored settings without refresh in battery-backed or maintenance-free systems. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C (Extended grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor controls, and high-ambient environments. |
| Standby Current | 5 µA max at E-temp - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in energy-sensitive IoT endpoints. |
Pinout & Package
24LC01BT-E/OT is packaged in 5-lead SC-70 (Microchip package code LT), measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H), with exposed pad optional for thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Asynchronous edge-triggered input synchronized to host I²C master; requires external pull-up; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity. |
| SDA | Bidirectional Data I/O | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; transmits/receives addresses and data; supports ACK/NACK signaling per I²C protocol. |
| WP | Hardware Write-Protect Input | Logic-high (VCC) disables all write operations including byte/page writes; no software lock required for secure factory defaults. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce during SDA transitions. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Supplies core logic and EEPROM array; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended near pin to suppress switching noise during write cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Buffer (8 bytes) | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by enabling up to 8 sequential bytes per Stop condition, cutting bus occupancy vs. single-byte writes. |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Provides ≥50 mV hysteresis on SCL/SDA to reject sub-50 ns noise spikes - critical for reliable operation in electrically noisy motor or power-conversion environments. |
| Output Slope Control | Slows SDA fall time to limit di/dt-induced ground bounce, preventing false Start/Stop detection on shared PCB ground planes. |
| Hardware Write-Protect (WP) | Eliminates need for software-based lock bits or command sequences - prevents accidental overwrites during firmware updates or brown-out recovery. |
| ESD Protection >4 kV | Meets HBM Class 2 requirements, allowing safe handling and board-level integration without additional transient suppression components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24AA01T-I/OT | Wider VCC range (1.7–5.5V); lower 100 kHz max clock below 2.5V; rated only for -40°C to +85°C. | Not qualified for extended temperature; unsuitable for under-hood or high-ambient industrial use. | Select only if system operates below 2.5V or requires broader voltage flexibility at cost of temperature rating. |
| 24FC01T-E/OT | Supports 1 MHz I²C clock; same VCC range (1.7–5.5V); identical package and pinout. | Higher speed enables faster firmware update staging or bulk parameter loading in time-critical systems. | Choose when bus bandwidth exceeds 400 kHz requirement and full 1.7V compatibility is needed. |
Compared with 24LC01BT-E/OT, the 24AA01T-I/OT trades extended temperature support for lower-voltage operation, while the 24FC01T-E/OT delivers 2.5× higher I²C throughput without changing layout or firmware interface logic.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 24LC01BT-E/OT?
The 24LC01BT-E/OT requires a minimum VCC of 2.5V for guaranteed operation across its full extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Operation below 2.5V is not specified and may result in failed writes, incorrect reads, or loss of I²C timing compliance. This distinguishes it from the 24AA01, which supports down to 1.7V.
How does the WP pin function on the 24LC01BT-E/OT?
The WP pin on the 24LC01BT-E/OT is a hardware write-protection input. When tied to VCC, it disables all write operations (byte and page) to the entire memory array (addresses 00h–7Fh), while read operations remain fully functional. When tied to VSS, normal read/write access is enabled. No internal pull-up or pull-down is present, so external connection is mandatory.
Can the 24LC01BT-E/OT be used in AEC-Q100-compliant automotive designs?
Yes, the 24LC01BT-E/OT is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive body electronics, infotainment, and powertrain auxiliary functions. Its qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and electrical performance - confirmed in Microchip's official AEC-Q100 report for this part number.
What is the maximum page write size supported by the 24LC01BT-E/OT?
The 24LC01BT-E/OT supports an 8-byte page write buffer. Up to eight consecutive bytes can be loaded into the buffer during a single I²C transaction and written to memory upon receipt of the Stop condition. Attempting to write more than eight bytes before Stop causes wraparound within the current page boundary, potentially overwriting earlier data in that page.
Is the 24LC01BT-E/OT pin-compatible with other members of the 24XX01 family in SC-70 packaging?
Yes, the 24LC01BT-E/OT shares identical 5-pin SC-70 (LT) pinout and footprint with 24AA01T-I/OT and 24FC01T-E/OT. All three have SCL, SDA, WP, VSS, and VCC in the same physical arrangement, enabling direct substitution where voltage, speed, and temperature requirements align - though firmware must verify device identity via I²C address response.
