Product details
Overview
25AA080BT-I/MS from Microchip Technology Inc. is an 8 Kbit SPI Serial EEPROM with 1024 × 8-bit organization, 1.8–5.5 V supply range, and 32-byte page write capability. It features hardware write protection via WP pin and status register, 1,000,000 erase/write cycles, and industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C) in an 8-lead MSOP package. Used for nonvolatile parameter storage in microcontroller-based embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 25AA080BT-I/MS datasheet, 25AA080BT-I/MS pinout, 25AA080BT-I/MS application, or 25AA080BT-I/MS equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC operating range compatibility, page size alignment for firmware update routines, HOLD functionality for interrupt-safe SPI bus sharing, and WPEN-controlled hardware write protection for field-programmable configuration data.
Technical Context
The 25AA080BT-I/MS implements a standard SPI Mode 0,0/Master-Slave interface with separate SI and SO lines, requiring CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, HOLD, VCC, and VSS connections. Its internal architecture includes a 16-bit address counter, page latches, HV generator for EEPROM programming, and a status register with WIP, WEL, BP0/BP1, and WPEN bits.
Write operations require explicit WREN instruction followed by WRITE command and address/data; page writes are limited to 32 bytes within a single physical page boundary (000h–01Fh, 020h–03Fh, etc.). The HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial transfers without resetting internal state, enabling deterministic interrupt handling in real-time systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8 Kbit (1024 × 8-bit), sufficient for storing bootloader configuration, calibration coefficients, or device identity data. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible serial bus (Mode 0,0), compatible with PIC® and most MCU SPI peripherals without bit-banging overhead. |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - defines maximum contiguous write length per CS assertion; crossing page boundaries wraps data instead of advancing. |
| Write Cycle Time | Max 5 ms - determines minimum time between write commands; impacts firmware update latency and system responsiveness. |
| VCC Range | 1.8–5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - enables reliable logging or counter applications over multi-year product lifetimes. |
| Data Retention | >200 years at +25°C - ensures long-term integrity of stored calibration or security keys without refresh. |
| ESD Protection | >4 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge events. |
Pinout & Package
8-Lead MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package), 3.0 mm × 4.9 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; must be low for all SPI transactions; high-Z SO when deasserted enables multi-device SPI bus sharing. |
| SO (Pin 2) | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output; data shifted out on falling edge of SCK; high-impedance when CS high or HOLD low. |
| WP (Pin 3) | Hardware Write-Protect Control | When WPEN=1 in status register and WP=low, disables Status Register writes only; array writes remain enabled unless BP bits set. |
| VSS (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC current and signal references; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SI (Pin 5) | Serial Data Input | Latches instruction, address, and data on rising edge of SCK; accepts MSB-first SPI framing. |
| SCK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all data transfers; max 10 MHz at VCC ≥4.5 V, scaling down to 3 MHz at 1.8 V. |
| HOLD (Pin 7) | Serial Transfer Pause | Asserting low while SCK is low pauses ongoing SPI sequence; resumes from same point when released, enabling interrupt servicing. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply Voltage | 1.8–5.5 V input; internal regulation supports stable EEPROM programming across full voltage range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via BP0/BP1 bits to protect none, upper 1/4 (0300h–03FFh), upper 1/2 (0200h–03FFh), or entire array (0000h–03FFh). |
| Power-On Write Protection | Write enable latch resets at power-up, preventing accidental writes during power ramp; requires explicit WREN before any write. |
| Hold Functionality | Enables deterministic suspension/resumption of SPI transfers without reinitialization-critical for real-time interrupt response in safety-critical firmware. |
| Low Standby Current | 1 μA at 2.5 V and −40°C to +85°C - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Industrial Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C operation - validated for use in automotive ECUs, industrial controllers, and outdoor IoT nodes without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25LC080BT-I/MS | Requires 2.5–5.5 V VCC; lacks 1.8 V support; identical 32-byte page, pinout, and feature set otherwise. | Not suitable for 1.8 V logic systems; otherwise drop-in in 3.3 V/5 V designs with same temperature requirements. | Select when system VCC is guaranteed ≥2.5 V and cost optimization is prioritized over ultra-low-voltage flexibility. |
| AT25080B-MAHL-T | Same 8 Kbit, 32-byte page, SPI interface; supports 1.8–5.5 V; endurance 1M cycles; but no HOLD pin and different status register layout. | Lacks HOLD functionality-unsuitable for interrupt-sensitive SPI bus sharing; requires firmware adaptation for status register access. | Choose when HOLD is unnecessary and sourcing diversity is required; verify WP implementation matches design intent. |
Compared with 25AA080BT-I/MS, the 25LC080BT-I/MS offers identical functionality at higher minimum VCC, while the AT25080B-MAHL-T sacrifices HOLD capability for alternate supply flexibility-making the 25AA080BT-I/MS optimal for 1.8 V–5.5 V systems requiring deterministic SPI pause/resume behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 25AA080BT-I/MS?
The 25AA080BT-I/MS supports up to 10 MHz SPI clock frequency when VCC is 4.5–5.5 V, scaling to 5 MHz at 2.5–4.5 V and 3 MHz at 1.8–2.5 V. These limits ensure reliable setup/hold timing across voltage and temperature ranges, as specified in Table 1-2 of the DS21808D datasheet. The 25AA080BT-I/MS maintains full functionality across this range without external clock dividers or firmware adjustments.
Does the 25AA080BT-I/MS support 1.8 V operation?
Yes, the 25AA080BT-I/MS operates across 1.8–5.5 V, making it compatible with modern ultra-low-power MCUs and SoCs. This is confirmed in the Device Selection Table (DS21808D-page 1), where 25AA080B is explicitly listed with VCC range 1.8–5.5 V. The 25AA080BT-I/MS retains full 1024 × 8-bit capacity, 32-byte page write, and all protection features at 1.8 V.
How does the HOLD pin function in the 25AA080BT-I/MS?
The HOLD pin on the 25AA080BT-I/MS suspends ongoing SPI communication without resetting internal state: when asserted low while SCK is low, SI/SO/SCK inputs are ignored and SO enters high-impedance, allowing the host MCU to service interrupts. Resuming requires bringing HOLD high while SCK remains low. This behavior is documented in Section 3.6 and Figure 1-1 of DS21808D. The 25AA080BT-I/MS guarantees deterministic resumption from the exact byte position where HOLD was asserted.
What page size does the 25AA080BT-I/MS use for write operations?
The 25AA080BT-I/MS uses a 32-byte page size, as indicated by its 'B' suffix in the part number (25AA080B). This is confirmed in the Device Selection Table (DS21808D-page 1) and Section 2.3, which states "up to 32 bytes (25XX080B) of data can be sent… before a write cycle is necessary." Page boundaries start at addresses 000h, 020h, 040h, etc., and crossing them causes data wrap-not automatic advancement.
Can the 25AA080BT-I/MS be used in automotive applications?
The 25AA080BT-I/MS is rated for Industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), not Automotive (−40°C to +125°C). While it may function in some under-hood environments, Microchip does not qualify or guarantee operation beyond +85°C. For automotive applications, the 25LC080BT-E/MS (E-grade) is the designated alternative, as shown in the Device Selection Table. Using 25AA080BT-I/MS outside its qualified range voids reliability and warranty assurances.
