Product details
Overview
25LC080BT-E/ST from Microchip Technology Inc. is an 8 Kbit SPI Serial EEPROM with 1024 × 8-bit organization, 32-byte page size, 2.5–5.5 V supply range, and industrial/automotive temperature support (−40°C to +125°C). It features hardware write protection via WP pin, HOLD functionality for interrupt-safe bus suspension, and self-timed 5 ms write cycles - deployed in automotive body control modules for configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the 25LC080BT-E/ST datasheet, 25LC080BT-E/ST pinout, 25LC080BT-E/ST application, or 25LC080BT-E/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include page size compatibility (32-byte), automotive-grade temperature operation, TSSOP-8 package footprint, and SPI timing compliance at up to 10 MHz clock frequency.
Technical Context
The 25LC080BT-E/ST implements a standard SPI Mode 0,0/Master-Slave interface with separate SI/SO lines and dedicated CS, SCK, WP, and HOLD control signals. Its internal architecture includes a status register with WIP, WEL, BP0/BP1, and WPEN bits enabling configurable block protection (none, 1/4, 1/2, or full array) and hardware write-enable gating.
Write operations require explicit WREN instruction followed by CS high transition to initiate self-timed internal erase/write; read operations support sequential addressing with automatic address rollover at 03FFh. HOLD suspends ongoing transfers while preserving internal state, allowing host MCU to service higher-priority interrupts without reinitializing the transaction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8 Kbit (1024 × 8-bit), sufficient for firmware parameter tables or calibration data in compact embedded systems |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - defines maximum contiguous write length per CS assertion; crossing page boundary wraps data within same page |
| Max Clock Frequency | 10 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5 V - enables fast read/write throughput compatible with modern MCU SPI peripherals |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms max - determines minimum interval between write commands; impacts real-time logging latency |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - supports frequent field-updatable configurations in automotive ECUs |
| Data Retention | > 200 years at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability of stored calibration or security keys over product lifetime |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
25LC080BT-E/ST is housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in automotive and industrial applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal; must be low for all SPI transactions; rising edge initiates internal write cycle after valid write sequence |
| SO (Pin 2) | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output delivering memory contents on falling edge of SCK during read; high-impedance when deselected or during HOLD |
| WP (Pin 3) | Write-Protect Pin | Hardware lock for Status Register writes when WPEN bit is set; low = protection active; no effect on memory array writes unless configured via BP bits |
| VSS (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| SI (Pin 5) | Serial Data Input | Accepts instructions, addresses, and data on rising edge of SCK; latched synchronously to clock for reliable command decoding |
| SCK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; timing constraints (e.g., THI/TLO ≥ 50 ns) scale with VCC |
| HOLD (Pin 7) | Hold Input | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer when pulled low during SCK low phase; preserves internal state for MCU interrupt handling without restart overhead |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply Voltage | Power input for core logic and EEPROM array; decoupling capacitor required near pin to suppress switching noise during write cycles |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Temperature Range | Rated for −40°C to +125°C operation, meeting AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs |
| Configurable Block Protection | BP0/BP1 bits allow software-selectable write protection of none, upper 1/4 (0300h–03FFh), upper 1/2 (0200h–03FFh), or entire array (0000h–03FFh) |
| Hardware Write-Enable Gating | WPEN bit enables/disables WP pin function - permits safe installation in systems with grounded WP while retaining Status Register programmability |
| Low-Power Standby Mode | 1 μA max standby current at 2.5 V enables battery-backed operation in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| HOLD Functionality | Enables deterministic pause/resume of SPI transfers without loss of address pointer or command state - critical for time-sensitive interrupt handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25LC080AT-E/ST | 16-byte page size; 1.8–5.5 V supply; rated only for Industrial (−40°C to +85°C), not Automotive | Lacks extended temperature support; unsuitable for under-hood or chassis-mounted automotive use | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 16-byte pages suffice and ambient temperature stays ≤85°C |
| AT25080B-SSHL-T | Same 8 Kbit / 32-byte page / TSSOP-8; 1.8–5.5 V supply; Industrial temp only; different status register map and HOLD timing | Requires firmware adaptation for status bit interpretation and HOLD setup/hold times; no automotive qualification | Consider for legacy Atmel-based designs needing drop-in footprint replacement, but validate timing and protection logic in target environment |
Compared with 25LC080BT-E/ST, the 25LC080AT-E/ST lacks automotive temperature rating and uses smaller pages, while AT25080B-SSHL-T requires firmware changes due to divergent status register behavior and offers no AEC-Q100 assurance - making 25LC080BT-E/ST the sole choice for new automotive designs requiring guaranteed −40°C to +125°C operation and hardware write protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the 25LC080BT-E/ST?
The 25LC080BT-E/ST supports up to 10 MHz SPI clock frequency when VCC is 4.5–5.5 V. At 2.5–4.5 V, the maximum clock drops to 5 MHz, and at 1.8–2.5 V (not applicable to this part), it would be 3 MHz. These limits ensure reliable setup/hold timing for SI/SO transitions and are specified in Table 1-2 of the DS21808D datasheet.
Does the 25LC080BT-E/ST support hardware write protection?
Yes, the 25LC080BT-E/ST supports hardware write protection via the WP pin in conjunction with the WPEN bit in its status register. When WPEN = 1 and WP = low, writes to the nonvolatile status register bits are disabled. Memory array protection is controlled separately by BP0/BP1 bits and remains functional regardless of WP state.
What package type is used for the 25LC080BT-E/ST?
The 25LC080BT-E/ST uses an 8-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch), designated by the "ST" suffix. This RoHS-compliant, Pb-free package is optimized for automated assembly and high-density PCB layouts in automotive and industrial applications.
How many write/erase cycles does the 25LC080BT-E/ST guarantee?
The 25LC080BT-E/ST guarantees 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per memory location, validated per JEDEC standards. This endurance rating applies across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and supports frequent field updates in automotive and industrial control applications.
Can the 25LC080BT-E/ST be used in systems with 3.3 V logic levels?
Yes, the 25LC080BT-E/ST operates reliably with 3.3 V logic levels: its VCC range is 2.5–5.5 V, VIH1 threshold is 2.0 V minimum (at VCC ≥ 2.7 V), and VOL is ≤0.4 V at 2.1 mA load - fully compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS I/O without level shifters.
