Product details
Overview
24LC08BHT-I/MNY from Microchip Technology Inc. is an 8 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as four 256 × 8-bit memory blocks, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V with 400 kHz max clock frequency, 16-byte page write buffer, and hardware write-protect for addresses 200h–3FFh. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and firmware parameters.
For engineers reviewing the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY datasheet, 24LC08BHT-I/MNY pinout, 24LC08BHT-I/MNY application, or 24LC08BHT-I/MNY equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC min (2.5V), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), TDFN-8 package dimensions (2×3 mm), half-array write-protection logic, and I²C timing compliance at 400 kHz.
Technical Context
The 24LC08BHT-I/MNY implements a slave-only I²C interface with fixed 7-bit address prefix '1010', block-select addressing (B1/B0), and no internal connection to A0/A1/A2 pins. Its memory architecture uses on-chip address pointer auto-increment and supports byte write, page write (up to 16 bytes within one 16-byte physical page), and three read modes: current address, random, and sequential.
Write protection is controlled solely by the WP pin: tied to VCC disables writes to upper half (200h–3FFh); tied to VSS enables full-array access. Internal self-timed erase/write cycles (typ. 3 ms, max 5 ms) eliminate external timing dependencies, and Schmitt-trigger inputs with 50 ns spike suppression ensure robust operation on noisy buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 8 Kbit (four 256 × 8-bit blocks), enabling storage of 1,024 bytes of nonvolatile configuration or calibration data |
| VCC operating range | 2.5V to 5.5V - requires stable mid-to-high voltage rail; not suitable for sub-2.5V battery-powered designs |
| Max I²C clock | 400 kHz - supports fast system-level communication without requiring low-speed bus arbitration |
| Page write capacity | 16 bytes per page - reduces transaction overhead when updating parameter sets or firmware metadata |
| Write endurance | 1 million cycles - sufficient for field-updatable systems logging infrequent state changes over 10+ years |
| Data retention | 200 years at 85°C - ensures long-term reliability in industrial control and automotive modules |
| Standby current | 1 µA max (industrial temp.) - minimizes quiescent power in always-on sensor nodes or backup power domains |
Pinout & Package
24LC08BHT-I/MNY is housed in an 8-lead TDFN (Thin Dual Flat No-lead) package with 2 mm × 3 mm body and NiPdAu finish (denoted by "Y" in MNY). The package has exposed thermal pad and gull-wing–style terminations compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | No-connect | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without functional impact |
| A1 | No-connect | Internally unconnected; no effect on device addressing or operation |
| A2 | No-connect | Internally unconnected; eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce during SDA transitions |
| SDA | Bidirectional I²C data line | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up (2 kΩ typical for 400 kHz); changes only during SCL low except for Start/Stop |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Input-only; synchronizes all data transfers; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| WP | Hardware write-protect control | Active-high signal: VCC enables half-array protection (200h–3FFh); VSS disables protection |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and EEPROM array; must remain ≥2.5V during write cycles to prevent corruption |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Half-array hardware write-protect | Prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware or calibration data stored in upper 2 Kbytes (200h–3FFh) without software intervention |
| 16-byte page write buffer | Reduces I²C transaction count by up to 16× versus byte-write mode, improving bus efficiency in parameter-batch updates |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs with 50 ns spike suppression | Eliminates need for external RC filtering on SDA/SCL lines in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor drives, power supplies) |
| Self-timed write cycle (max 5 ms) | Removes requirement for host MCU to manage write timing or polling delay-simplifies firmware and avoids bus blocking |
| ESD protection >4 kV | Enables safe handling and board-level integration without additional ESD protection components on I²C lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC08B-I/SN | Same die, SOIC-8 package (4.9×6.0 mm vs. TDFN's 2×3 mm); no NiPdAu finish; identical electrical specs | Preferred where manual soldering, test probing, or legacy PCB footprints are required | Select when board space allows larger package and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish suffices |
| AT24C08D-MAHM-T | 8 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5V VCC, 16-byte page, but lacks hardware WP pin; uses software write-protect only | Requires firmware-level protection logic; unsuitable where hardware-enforced write lock is mandated | Choose only if WP functionality is unnecessary and footprint compatibility with Microchip devices is verified |
Compared with 24LC08BHT-I/MNY, the SOIC variant offers easier prototyping and rework, while the AT24C08D requires software-managed protection-making the original TDFN part optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical industrial designs needing guaranteed half-array lock.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY?
The 24LC08BHT-I/MNY requires a minimum VCC of 2.5V for guaranteed operation across its full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). Operation below 2.5V is not specified and may result in incomplete write cycles or data corruption. This distinguishes it from the 24AA08H series, which supports down to 1.7V.
Does the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY support true I²C multi-master arbitration?
No-the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY operates exclusively as an I²C slave device and does not implement multi-master arbitration logic. It responds only to its fixed 7-bit address prefix (1010xxx) and relies entirely on the master controller to manage bus ownership, clock stretching, and collision avoidance.
How does the hardware write-protect feature work on the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY?
The WP pin on the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY enables hardware write-protection for memory addresses 200h–3FFh when pulled high to VCC. When WP = VSS, full-array read/write access is enabled. Protection is active immediately upon power-up and requires no software command-ensuring fail-safe data integrity.
Can the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY be used in automotive applications rated to 125°C?
No-the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY is qualified only for the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), indicated by the "I" suffix. For automotive-grade operation up to +125°C, Microchip specifies the 24LC08BH-E/MNY variant; using the "I" version beyond 85°C violates its qualification and risks data retention failure.
What is the maximum number of bytes that can be written in a single I²C transaction to the 24LC08BHT-I/MNY?
The 24LC08BHT-I/MNY supports up to 16 bytes per page write operation, constrained by its internal 16-byte page buffer. Attempting to write more than 16 bytes before issuing a Stop condition causes address wraparound within the same physical page, overwriting earlier data-not crossing into the next page.
