Product details
Overview
24VL014HT/SN from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with single-supply operation down to 1.5 V, maximum active current of 400 μA, standby current of 1 μA, and hardware write-protection for the upper half-array (40h–7Fh). It supports 100 kHz (VCC < 1.8 V) or 400 kHz (VCC ≥ 1.8 V) clock rates and is used in battery-powered sensor nodes and embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the 24VL014HT/SN datasheet, 24VL014HT/SN pinout, 24VL014HT/SN application, or 24VL014HT/SN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to SOIC-8, I²C timing constraints, half-array write-protect behavior, and real-world design implications for low-voltage EEPROM integration.
Technical Context
The 24VL014HT/SN implements a true 2-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA and SCL for noise immunity, internal slope control to suppress ground bounce, and a self-timed write cycle (max 5 ms) including auto-erase. Its address decoding uses A0–A2 pins to support up to eight devices on one bus, enabling contiguous 8 Kbit expansion via software-managed address bit mapping.
Hardware write protection is controlled solely by the WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks addresses 40h–7Fh; tied to VSS, full array access is permitted. The device includes a VCC threshold detector that disables erase/write logic below 1.0 V, and supports acknowledge polling to detect write completion without fixed delays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 1.8 V and 3.3 V microcontrollers; operation below 1.8 V limits clock to 100 kHz. |
| Memory Size | 1 Kbit (128 × 8) - Provides sufficient nonvolatile storage for calibration data, device IDs, or small firmware patches in space-constrained designs. |
| I²C Clock Rate | 100 kHz (VCC < 1.8 V) / 400 kHz (VCC ≥ 1.8 V) - Dictates maximum data throughput; requires pull-up resistor scaling (2 kΩ for 400 kHz, 10 kΩ for 100 kHz). |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles - Supports frequent field updates (e.g., metering logs or sensor calibration) over product lifetime without wear-out concerns. |
| Data Retention | 200 years - Guarantees long-term integrity of stored configuration or security keys without refresh. |
| Page Write Buffer | 16 bytes - Reduces I²C transaction overhead when writing consecutive locations; crossing physical page boundaries causes wraparound, not overflow. |
| ESD Protection | > 4,000 V HBM - Ensures robustness against handling and board-level ESD events in industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
24VL014HT/SN is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (3.90 mm body, SN suffix), with 1.27 mm pitch and standard JEDEC MS-012AA footprint. Pin 1 is A0 (top-left corner, marked dot or notch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Chip Select Inputs | Configure 3-bit slave address (1010xxx); enable up to eight devices on same I²C bus; must be hard-wired to VSS or VCC before operation. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| SDA | Serial Data Bidirectional Line | Open-drain I²C data line requiring external pull-up; changes only during SCL low; carries address, data, and ACK/NACK signals. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all transfers; Schmitt-trigger input ensures noise immunity on rising/falling edges. |
| WP | Hardware Write-Protect Input | Active-high signal: tie to VCC to lock 40h–7Fh (half-array); tie to VSS for full write access; no effect on read operations. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.5–3.6 V supply; internal voltage detector disables writes if VCC drops below ~1.0 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional at 1.5 V enables direct use with coin-cell batteries (e.g., CR2032) and energy-harvesting systems without LDOs. |
| Page Write Capability | 16-byte buffer reduces I²C bus occupancy by >75% vs. byte-write for sequential updates, improving system responsiveness. |
| Schmitt Trigger + Filter | Combined 50 ns spike suppression and 0.05×VCC hysteresis eliminate false triggering on noisy industrial buses. |
| Half-Array Hardware WP | Independent protection of upper 512 bits allows safe storage of factory-calibrated parameters while permitting user data updates elsewhere. |
| Cascadable Architecture | Three address pins (A0–A2) permit 8-device daisy-chain without external logic, simplifying scalable memory expansion. |
Applications
| Smart Meter Calibration Storage | IoT Sensor Node Configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | Same 1 Kbit size, 1.7–5.5 V VCC, 1 MHz I²C, but lacks half-array WP; uses different A0–A2 addressing scheme. | Requires external WP logic for partial protection; higher VCC min limits use in sub-1.8 V systems. | Select if 1 MHz speed or 5 V compatibility is required; avoid when 1.5 V operation or hardware half-array lock is mandatory. |
| BR24G01FJ-WE2 (ROHM) | 1 Kbit, 1.6–5.5 V, 400 kHz I²C, 1 μA standby, but no Schmitt-trigger inputs or slope control; WP pin protects entire array only. | Noise immunity reduced in electrically noisy environments; full-array WP less flexible than half-array granularity. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where bus noise is minimal and partial write protection is unnecessary. |
Compared with AT24C01D-SSHM-T and BR24G01FJ-WE2, the 24VL014HT/SN uniquely delivers 1.5 V operation, half-array hardware write protection, and integrated noise suppression-making it the only option for ultra-low-voltage industrial systems requiring selective, hardware-enforced data integrity.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 24VL014HT/SN?
The 24VL014HT/SN operates reliably down to 1.5 V, with guaranteed functionality across its full -20°C to +85°C temperature range. Below 1.8 V, the maximum I²C clock rate is limited to 100 kHz to maintain timing margins. The internal VCC detector disables write operations if supply drops below ~1.0 V, preventing corrupted data writes.
How does the hardware write-protection feature work on the 24VL014HT/SN?
On the 24VL014HT/SN, the WP pin controls hardware write protection: when tied to VCC, addresses 40h–7Fh (upper 512 bits) are locked against writes; when tied to VSS, full array access is enabled. This protection is independent of software commands and remains active even during power transitions.
Can multiple 24VL014HT/SN devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to eight 24VL014HT/SN devices can operate on a single I²C bus using unique slave addresses configured via A0, A1, and A2 pins. Each device responds only to its assigned 3-bit chip select code within the base 1010xxx address, enabling seamless 8 Kbit contiguous memory expansion without additional address decoding logic.
What is the purpose of the Schmitt trigger and input filter on the 24VL014HT/SN SDA and SCL pins?
The Schmitt trigger inputs on the 24VL014HT/SN provide 0.05×VCC hysteresis, while the 50 ns input filter suppresses short-duration noise spikes. Together, they prevent false Start/Stop detection and spurious clock sampling in electrically noisy environments-critical for reliable operation in industrial control and automotive subsystems.
Does the 24VL014HT/SN support page write operations, and what is the buffer size?
Yes, the 24VL014HT/SN supports page write operations with a 16-byte buffer. When a Stop condition follows the initial word address and first data byte, up to 15 additional bytes are accepted and written simultaneously after the Stop. Page boundaries align to 16-byte intervals; crossing a boundary wraps data to the start of the current page rather than advancing to the next.
