Product details
Overview
25LC080C-H/SN from Microchip Technology Inc. is an 8-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 1,024 × 8 bits, operating over 2.5V–5.5V supply and supporting up to 5 MHz clock frequency at +150°C. It features byte/page write, hardware write protection via WP pin, and built-in power-on data protection-designed for nonvolatile parameter storage in automotive engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the 25LC080C-H/SN datasheet, 25LC080C-H/SN pinout, 25LC080C-H/SN application, or 25LC080C-H/SN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, high-temp SPI timing constraints, HOLD/CS interaction behavior, and AEC-Q100-compliant endurance data critical for under-hood electronics design.
Technical Context
The 25LC080C-H/SN implements a standard SPI Mode 0,0 interface with separate SI (data in) and SO (data out) lines, requiring CS low, SCK synchronized rising-edge sampling on SI and falling-edge output on SO. Its internal architecture includes a status register with WIP, WEL, BP0/BP1, and WPEN bits controlling block protection and hardware write-enable logic.
It supports self-timed internal write cycles (≤6 ms), sequential read with automatic address rollover, and HOLD pin suspension of ongoing transfers without sequence reset. The device remains fully functional across –40°C to +150°C ambient, with ESD immunity >4 kV and >1,000,000 write/erase cycles at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 8 Kbit (1,024 × 8-bit organization) - defines maximum configurable configuration storage capacity |
| Max Clock Speed | 5 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5V - enables fast firmware parameter updates in real-time control loops |
| Page Size | 16 bytes - constrains burst write length; crossing page boundary wraps data within same physical page |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤6 ms - determines minimum interval between successive write commands; blocks concurrent access |
| Endurance | >1,000,000 erase/write cycles - ensures long-term reliability in cyclic logging or calibration update applications |
| Data Retention | >200 years at +150°C - guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity over full automotive lifetime under extreme thermal stress |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C (H grade) - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood placement without derating |
Pinout & Package
8-Lead SOIC (SN package), 3.90 mm body width, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, JEDEC MS-012AC standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; must go high after final data bit to initiate internal write cycle; forces SO into high-Z when deasserted |
| 2: SO | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output; data valid after SCK falling edge; enters high-Z during HOLD or CS high |
| 3: WP | Write-Protect Pin | Hardware lock for STATUS register when WPEN=1; no effect if WPEN=0; does not block array reads |
| 4: VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 5: SI | Serial Data Input | Latches instruction/address/data on SCK rising edge; sampled first after CS low; ignores transitions during HOLD |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all SPI transactions; must be low before asserting HOLD or releasing HOLD to resume |
| 7: HOLD | Hold Input | Pauses active transfer mid-sequence; SO/SI/SCK tri-stated; resumes from exact point upon HOLD high while SCK low |
| 8: VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.5V–5.5V operation; powers internal HV generator for EEPROM programming; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extended Temperature Operation | H-grade support from –40°C to +150°C meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for engine bay deployment |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin + WPEN bit combination enables field-programmable block-level lock (none/¼/½/all array) without firmware intervention |
| Page Write Capability | 16-byte page buffer allows efficient multi-byte writes within single command, reducing SPI overhead vs. byte-by-byte |
| Power-On Data Integrity | Automatic WEL reset and built-in power-on/off protection circuitry prevent spurious writes during supply ramp-up/down |
| HOLD Functionality | Enables host MCU to service higher-priority interrupts mid-transfer without losing SPI state or reinitializing sequence |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25LC080D-H/SN | Same density and temp grade, but 32-byte page size vs. 16-byte - doubles burst write efficiency | Better suited for systems requiring frequent multi-parameter updates where page boundary management is simplified | Select 25LC080D-H/SN when firmware can accommodate larger page writes and faster throughput is prioritized |
| AT25080B-MAHL-T | 8-Kbit SPI EEPROM, –40°C to +125°C (not +150°C), 5 MHz max, 32-byte page, different status register layout | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and extended high-temp operation - unsuitable for under-hood use | Choose AT25080B-MAHL-T only for industrial or consumer applications below +125°C ambient |
Compared with 25LC080D-H/SN, the 25LC080C-H/SN offers tighter page-boundary control for deterministic small-data updates; versus AT25080B-MAHL-T, it provides guaranteed operation at +150°C and automotive qualification-critical for safety-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 25LC080C-H/SN across its full voltage range?
The 25LC080C-H/SN supports up to 5 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5V and 3 MHz at 2.5V ≤ VCC < 4.5V. These AC timing limits are specified across the full –40°C to +150°C operating range and must be respected to ensure reliable instruction decoding and data capture on SI/SO. Exceeding these frequencies may cause read corruption or failed write latching.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active SPI read sequence on the 25LC080C-H/SN?
During an active SPI read, pulling HOLD low places the 25LC080C-H/SN into hold mode: SO enters high-impedance, and SI/SCK are ignored until HOLD returns high while SCK is low. The internal address pointer retains position, allowing seamless resumption of sequential reads from the exact byte where paused-no retransmission or restart is needed.
Can the 25LC080C-H/SN be used without connecting the WP pin, and what is the default protection state?
Yes, the 25LC080C-H/SN operates normally with WP unconnected (floating or pulled high). By default, WPEN = 0 after power-up, so the WP pin has no effect on write protection. Block protection is disabled (BP1/BP0 = 00), and full array writes are permitted once WREN is issued-no external pull-up/down is required for basic functionality.
What happens if a page write command crosses a 16-byte boundary on the 25LC080C-H/SN?
If a page write command attempts to cross a 16-byte boundary, data wraps around to the start of the current page instead of advancing to the next page. For example, writing 17 bytes starting at address 0x000F overwrites bytes 0x000F through 0x001F, then wraps to overwrite 0x0000. Firmware must enforce page-aligned writes or split multi-page transfers manually.
Is the 25LC080C-H/SN pin-compatible with other devices in the 25LCxxx family, such as the 25LC160C-H/SN?
Yes, the 25LC080C-H/SN shares identical 8-pin SOIC (SN) packaging, pinout, and SPI interface protocol with all 25LCxxx variants including 25LC160C-H/SN. However, density, page size (16 vs. 32 bytes), and internal address space differ-firmware must validate memory map boundaries and adjust page write logic accordingly.
