Product details
Overview
24LC02BHT-I/MNY from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 2 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 256 × 8-bit memory with half-array hardware write-protection (80h–FFh), 1.7–5.5 V operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency, features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and delivers ≤1 µA standby current - ideal for battery-backed real-time clock calibration storage and embedded system configuration retention.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY datasheet, 24LC02BHT-I/MNY pinout, 24LC02BHT-I/MNY application, or 24LC02BHT-I/MNY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-byte page write buffer, self-timed 5 ms write cycle, WP-pin-controlled half-array protection, and compatibility with I²C bus systems requiring low-voltage operation and high endurance (>1 million cycles).
Technical Context
The 24LC02BHT-I/MNY implements a two-wire I²C interface with fixed 7-bit client address (1010xxx) and R/W bit control, supporting byte and page write modes. Its internal Address Pointer auto-increments during sequential reads and random accesses, enabling efficient block data retrieval without repeated address retransmission.
It uses Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL with ≥50 ns spike suppression and hysteresis (0.05 × VCC), ensuring robust operation in electrically noisy environments. The device incorporates output slope control to suppress ground bounce and requires external pull-up resistors (2 kΩ typical for 400 kHz, 10 kΩ for 100 kHz) on the open-drain SDA line.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
24LC02BHT-I/MNY is supplied in an 8-lead MSOP package (Microchip package code MNY), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm with 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; the exposed pad is not internally connected and may be left floating or grounded for thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without affecting operation |
| A1 | Address Input | No internal connection - unused; no impact on device addressing or functionality |
| A2 | Address Input | No internal connection - reserved for future family expansion but inactive in this part |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance to ensure stable read/write margins |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line requiring external pull-up; carries address, data, and ACK/NACK signals |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; edge-sensitive with Schmitt-trigger input |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Hardware-enables half-array protection (80h–FFh) when pulled high; disables write protection when low |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (2.5–5.5 V); powers EEPROM array, interface logic, and internal voltage regulators |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Half-Array Write Protection | Hardware-level protection of upper 128 bytes (80h–FFh) via dedicated WP pin - prevents accidental firmware corruption |
| Low-Power Operation | 1 µA max standby current at 5.5 V enables multi-year battery life in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |
| Page Write Buffer | 8-byte internal buffer allows burst writes without host intervention - reduces I²C bus occupancy by ~75% vs. byte writes |
| Noise Immunity | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 50 ns input filter suppress EMI-induced glitches - critical for industrial motor drive environments |
| ESD Robustness | ≥4 kV HBM rating ensures reliability during board handling and in-circuit programming |
Applications
| Smart Meter Calibration Storage | Industrial PLC Configuration Backup |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing meter-specific calibration constants and tariff tables in electricity/water meters deployed in unattended locations.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02C-SSHM-T | Same 2 Kbit capacity, 1.7–5.5 V range, but rated only to +85°C (no extended temp option); 1 MHz max clock (vs. 400 kHz) | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature grade; unsuitable for under-hood automotive use | Select when higher-speed I²C (1 MHz) is required and industrial temp suffices |
| BR24G02FJ-3GE2 | 2 Kbit, 1.6–5.5 V, supports 1 MHz clock; built-in write protect register (software-configurable) instead of hardware WP pin | Software-based protection offers flexible zone definition but requires additional firmware logic and I²C commands | Select when dynamic protection granularity (e.g., per-page lock) is needed over fixed half-array hardware lock |
Compared with AT24C02C-SSHM-T and BR24G02FJ-3GE2, the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY provides deterministic hardware write protection with zero firmware overhead and AEC-Q100 validation - making it optimal for safety-critical automotive and industrial applications where simplicity and qualification assurance outweigh speed or configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY?
The 24LC02BHT-I/MNY supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when VCC ≥ 2.5 V. At lower voltages (<2.5 V), the maximum clock rate drops to 100 kHz per the device's electrical specifications. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability across both legacy 100 kHz and modern high-throughput I²C systems while maintaining timing compliance.
Does the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY require external pull-up resistors on the I²C bus lines?
Yes, the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is input-only. Typical values are 2 kΩ for 400 kHz operation and 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, referenced to VCC. Omitting pull-ups will prevent proper bus signaling and device communication.
How does the hardware write-protection feature work on the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY?
The 24LC02BHT-I/MNY uses the WP pin to enable hardware write protection: when WP = VCC, the upper half of memory (addresses 80h–FFh) becomes read-only; when WP = VSS, full read/write access is enabled. This protection is active immediately upon power-up and requires no software initialization, providing fail-safe data integrity.
Can the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use and operates across the extended temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its robust construction, 4 kV ESD rating, and hardware write protection make it suitable for body control modules, infotainment systems, and ADAS-related configuration storage where reliability under vibration and thermal cycling is essential.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the 24LC02BHT-I/MNY?
The 24LC02BHT-I/MNY guarantees >1,000,000 erase/write cycles and >200 years of data retention at 25°C. These figures are characterized and ensured per Microchip's qualification standards - not estimated - and apply across the full industrial temperature range, enabling deployment in infrastructure equipment with multi-decade service lifetimes.
