Product details
Overview
25LC080D-E/ST from Microchip Technology is an 8 Kbit SPI Serial EEPROM with 1024 × 8-bit organization, 32-byte page size, and industrial/automotive temperature support (−40°C to +125°C). It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports up to 10 MHz clock frequency, and delivers 5 mA read/write current at 5.5V - used for nonvolatile parameter storage in automotive control modules, industrial PLCs, and embedded sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the 25LC080D-E/ST datasheet, 25LC080D-E/ST pinout, 25LC080D-E/ST application, or 25LC080D-E/ST equivalent, key selection criteria include page write capability (32 bytes), hardware write protection via WP pin and STATUS register, HOLD functionality for interrupt-safe SPI pauses, and TSSOP-8 packaging suitable for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 25LC080D-E/ST implements a standard SPI Mode 0,0 interface with separate SI/SO lines, CS-controlled selection, and SCK-synchronized data transfer. Its internal architecture includes a 32-byte page latch, status register with WIP/WEL/BP bits, and high-voltage generator for EEPROM cell programming.
It supports sequential read across address boundaries with automatic rollover, byte/page write with CS-high-triggered internal write cycle (≤5 ms), and hardware/software write protection combining WP pin logic with BP0/BP1 bits for 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8 Kbit (1024 × 8-bit) - provides sufficient space for firmware configuration, calibration data, and event logs in resource-limited microcontroller systems. |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - enables efficient bulk writes within a single page without crossing boundaries; requires software management to avoid wraparound. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 10 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5V - allows high-speed communication with modern MCUs while maintaining timing margin under worst-case voltage/temp conditions. |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms - defines minimum interval between write commands; impacts real-time logging latency and system responsiveness during parameter updates. |
| Endurance | >1 million erase/write cycles - ensures long-term reliability in applications requiring frequent field-updatable settings (e.g., motor control profiles). |
| Data Retention | >200 years at +25°C - guarantees persistent storage integrity over product lifetime without refresh, critical for safety-critical automotive subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C (Automotive E grade) - qualified for under-hood and powertrain environments where thermal stress exceeds industrial limits. |
Pinout & Package
25LC080D-E/ST is packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP (4.4 mm body width), RoHS-compliant, with lead pitch of 0.65 mm and footprint optimized for automated assembly in automotive-grade PCBs.
| 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 after write sequence initiates internal write cycle. |
| SO (Pin 2) | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output delivering memory contents on falling edge of SCK; enters high-Z when CS is high or HOLD is asserted. |
| WP (Pin 3) | Hardware Write-Protect Input | Low-active pin enabling nonvolatile block protection only when WPEN bit = 1; allows selective lockdown of configuration registers. |
| VSS (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance routing to minimize noise coupling. |
| SI (Pin 5) | Serial Data Input | Accepts instruction, address, and data bits on rising edge of SCK; latched synchronously to ensure robust sampling in noisy environments. |
| SCK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock controlling timing of all SPI transfers; rise/fall times ≤2 µs required for reliable operation at 10 MHz. |
| HOLD (Pin 7) | Communication Pause Control | Active-low input suspending ongoing SPI sequences without resetting state; enables MCU to service higher-priority interrupts mid-transfer. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5V operating range; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin to suppress supply transients during write operations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 32-byte page write | Enables faster bulk writes than 16-byte variants (e.g., 25LC080C), reducing total time to update multi-byte configuration blocks. |
| HOLD pin support | Permits interruption of SPI transfers without losing context - essential for deterministic response in real-time automotive ECUs. |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines WP pin and STATUS register BP bits to enforce layered security: physical lockout plus programmable segment-level access control. |
| Automotive temperature grade (E) | Qualified from −40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for engine control, transmission, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Self-timed write cycles | Eliminates need for external timeout logic; internal timer completes erase/write in ≤5 ms regardless of VCC or temperature variation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25LC080D-I/ST | Same 8 Kbit, 32-byte page, TSSOP-8 package, but rated for Industrial (−40°C to +85°C) only - no automotive qualification. | Lacks AEC-Q100 compliance and extended high-temp operation; unsuitable for under-hood use. | Select 25LC080D-I/ST only for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ambient temperature remains below +85°C. |
| AT25080B-SSHL-T | 8 Kbit SPI EEPROM with 32-byte page, SOIC-8 package, 1.8–5.5V supply, but max clock = 20 MHz and endurance = 100K cycles. | Higher speed but lower endurance and no HOLD pin - limits suitability for high-write-frequency automotive applications. | Choose AT25080B-SSHL-T when 20 MHz SPI bandwidth is required and write cycles are infrequent; verify HOLD absence does not impact system interrupt handling. |
Compared with 25LC080D-E/ST, the 25LC080D-I/ST sacrifices automotive qualification for lower cost, while the AT25080B-SSHL-T trades endurance and HOLD support for higher clock speed - making 25LC080D-E/ST optimal for safety-critical, high-reliability automotive and industrial deployments demanding both robustness and deterministic behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 25LC080D-E/ST?
The 25LC080D-E/ST supports up to 10 MHz clock frequency when VCC is 4.5V to 5.5V. At 2.5V ≤ VCC < 4.5V, the maximum clock drops to 5 MHz, and at 1.8V ≤ VCC < 2.5V (not applicable to 25LC080D-E/ST due to its 2.5V min VCC), it would be 3 MHz. This graded specification ensures timing compliance across its full 2.5–5.5V operating range.
Does the 25LC080D-E/ST support page write operations, and what is the page size?
Yes, the 25LC080D-E/ST supports page write operations with a fixed 32-byte page size - distinguishing it from the 16-byte page variant (25LC080C). This allows up to 32 bytes to be loaded into the page buffer before triggering the internal write cycle, improving efficiency for multi-byte configuration updates.
How does the HOLD pin function in the 25LC080D-E/ST, and what is its timing requirement?
The HOLD pin in the 25LC080D-E/ST pauses ongoing SPI communication without resetting the transaction state. It must be asserted low while SCK is low to activate; resuming requires bringing HOLD high while SCK remains low. Minimum HOLD setup/hold times are 20–80 ns depending on VCC, ensuring compatibility with fast MCU SPI peripherals.
What write protection mechanisms are implemented in the 25LC080D-E/ST?
The 25LC080D-E/ST implements dual-layer write protection: hardware-based via the WP pin (active-low) combined with the WPEN bit in the STATUS register, and software-configurable block protection using BP0/BP1 bits to lock 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the memory array - providing flexible, tamper-resistant data security.
Is the 25LC080D-E/ST qualified for automotive applications, and what temperature range does it cover?
Yes, the 25LC080D-E/ST carries the "E" suffix indicating Automotive qualification per Microchip's internal standards, with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C. While not formally AEC-Q100 certified in this datasheet revision, its E-grade screening and extended temperature validation make it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
