Product details
Overview
24LC01BT-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 max clock frequency, 5 ms max page write time, and hardware write-protection via the WP pin. It supports industrial (–40°C to +85°C) and extended (–40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges in an 8-lead SOIC package and is used for configuration storage in embedded controllers and power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC01BT-E/ST datasheet, 24LC01BT-E/ST pinout, 24LC01BT-E/ST application, or 24LC01BT-E/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (2.5–5.5V), I²C timing compliance at 400 kHz, WP-enabled hardware lock, 1 µA standby current, and extended-temperature qualification per AEC-Q100.
Technical Context
The 24LC01BT-E/ST implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs and slope-controlled outputs to suppress noise and eliminate ground bounce. Its internal architecture includes an 8-byte page write buffer, self-timed erase/write cycle, and address pointer logic supporting current-address, random, and sequential read modes.
It uses open-drain SDA/SCL with external pull-ups, requires no external clock source, and relies on host-generated Start/Stop conditions. Write protection is implemented via direct-level sensing on the WP pin-tied to VCC for full-array lock (00h–7Fh), VSS for normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8-bit), sufficient for firmware revision IDs, calibration coefficients, or device configuration registers. |
| VCC Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - supports standard-mode I²C timing; not rated for fast-mode (1 MHz) or low-voltage (<2.5V) operation. |
| Page Write Time | 5 ms maximum - defines minimum interval between successive page writes; impacts firmware update latency. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles - ensures reliable field updates over product lifetime in telemetry or logging applications. |
| Data Retention | 200 years - guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity across decades without refresh. |
| Standby Current | 1 µA (I-temp), 5 µA (E-temp) - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body size 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.75 mm, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC - does not affect device addressing. |
| A1 | Address Input | No internal connection; functionally unused - eliminates need for external termination resistors. |
| A2 | Address Input | No internal connection; reserved for family scalability - no impact on 24LC01BT-E/ST operation. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference node for all digital and analog circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ typical for 400 kHz); carries addresses, data, and ACK/NACK. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Input-only clock line synchronized to host controller; edge-triggered; drives internal timing for read/write cycles. |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Logic-level input: VSS enables full read/write access; VCC locks entire memory array (00h–7Fh) against accidental writes. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.5–5.5V); powers EEPROM core, interface logic, and charge pump for write operations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware Write-Protection | Physical WP pin enables irreversible lock of full memory array without software overhead or fuse programming. |
| 8-Byte Page Write Buffer | Reduces I²C transaction count during multi-byte writes - improves bus efficiency and lowers host CPU load. |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Provides >50 mV hysteresis on SDA/SCL - rejects EMI-induced glitches in noisy industrial environments. |
| Self-Timed Erase/Write Cycle | Eliminates need for external timing control or polling delay estimation - simplifies firmware integration. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C), including HTOL, TCT, and ESD testing. |

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/ST | Lower VCC min (1.7V), same 400 kHz speed, I-temp only (–40°C to +85°C), identical SOIC-8 footprint. | Not qualified for extended temperature or automotive use; suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics. | Select when 1.7V operation is required and extended temp/AEC-Q100 are unnecessary. |
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | Same 1 Kbit density, 1.7–5.5V VCC, 1 MHz max clock, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has higher 3 µA standby current. | Targeted at general-purpose industrial use; not validated for automotive mission-critical functions. | Choose for higher-speed I²C (1 MHz) where extended temp and automotive qualification are not mandated. |
Compared with 24AA01T-I/ST, the 24LC01BT-E/ST adds extended temperature support and AEC-Q100 qualification at the cost of 1.7V operation; versus AT24C01D-SSHM-T, it trades 1 MHz speed for automotive-grade reliability and lower standby current.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24LC01BT-E/ST?
The 24LC01BT-E/ST supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 400 kHz under all specified VCC conditions (2.5V–5.5V). It is not rated for fast-mode (1 MHz) operation - that capability is exclusive to the 24FC01 variant. This 400 kHz limit ensures timing margin compliance across the full extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
Does the 24LC01BT-E/ST require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24LC01BT-E/ST requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because these pins are open-drain. For 400 kHz operation, a 2 kΩ resistor to VCC is recommended. The value must be selected based on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements per I²C specification - failure to install pull-ups will prevent communication.
How does the WP pin function on the 24LC01BT-E/ST?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the 24LC01BT-E/ST is a logic-level input: tying it to VSS enables full read/write access to the entire 128-byte memory array (addresses 00h–7Fh); tying it to VCC disables all write operations while preserving read functionality. This hardware lock operates independently of I²C commands and provides fail-safe protection against firmware errors or voltage transients.
Is the 24LC01BT-E/ST pin-compatible with other 24XX01 family members in SOIC-8 packaging?
Yes, the 24LC01BT-E/ST is pin-compatible with all 24XX01 family variants (e.g., 24AA01, 24FC01) in the 8-lead SOIC package - same pinout, same footprint, same A0–A2 no-connect behavior. However, electrical differences (VCC range, max clock, temp grade) mean substitution requires validation of system-level timing, voltage, and qualification requirements.
What is the data retention period guaranteed for the 24LC01BT-E/ST?
The 24LC01BT-E/ST guarantees a minimum data retention period of 200 years under normal operating conditions (≤85°C ambient, ≤5.5V VCC). This specification is derived from accelerated life testing and applies to data stored in the EEPROM array after a completed write cycle - no periodic refresh is required.
