Product details
Overview
AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an automotive-grade 8K-bit (1,024 × 8) serial EEPROM with I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, 1.7V–5.5V operation, -40°C to +125°C Grade 1 temperature range, and 16-byte page write capability. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in engine control units, ADAS sensor modules, and body electronics where data integrity and AEC-Q100 compliance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO datasheet, AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO pinout, AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO application, or AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO equivalent, key selection criteria include Grade 1 automotive qualification, hardware write protection via WP pin, 400kHz I²C timing at 2.5V, self-timed 5ms max write cycle, and JEDEC SOIC-8 packaging with NiPdAu lead finish.
Technical Context
The AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO implements a dedicated I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA inputs for noise immunity, supports bidirectional data transfer with ACK/NACK protocol, and uses internal address counter rollover for sequential reads across memory boundaries. Its architecture includes a high-voltage pump for EEPROM cell programming and integrated timing logic for autonomous write-cycle completion.
Device addressing uses fixed '1010' prefix plus hardwired A2 pin (A0/A1 are no-connect), enabling up to two AT24C08C devices on one bus. Write protection is controlled solely by the WP pin: tied to VCC for full-array lockout, GND for normal read/write access - no software lock required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8,192 bits (1,024 words × 8 bits), organized in 64 pages of 16 bytes each - enables efficient firmware parameter storage with minimal page-boundary management overhead. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.5V (Grade 3) or 2.5V to 5.5V (Grade 1); AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO is Grade 1 - supports direct connection to 3.3V or 5V automotive power rails without level shifting. |
| Interface Speed | 400 kHz maximum clock frequency at 2.5V - compatible with standard I²C fast-mode controllers in microcontrollers like PIC18F, S32K, or RH850 without timing margin concerns. |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum self-timed write - eliminates need for polling delay in host firmware; ACK polling can be used to detect completion asynchronously. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - ensures long-term calibration data persistence over vehicle lifetime without refresh cycles. |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 write cycles per memory location - sufficient for frequent logging or adaptive learning applications such as battery SOC tracking or seat position memory. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) - qualified for under-hood and transmission-control module environments with thermal cycling stress. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code "SS", drawing 8S1), 0.150" wide body, NiPdAu lead finish, tape-and-reel delivery (T). Dimensions comply with MS-012AA; footprint matches industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | No-connect for AT24C08C - must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC; not used in device addressing. |
| A1 | Address Input | No-connect for AT24C08C - unused; does not affect I²C address decoding. |
| A2 | Device Address Bit | Hardwired input determining LSB of 3-bit device address ('1010 A2 P1 P0 R/W'); selects one of two possible AT24C08C addresses on shared bus. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.7–5.5V); internal POR circuit ensures reliable initialization during cold-cranking or battery dip events. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes to entire array; tied to GND enables full read/write access - no firmware dependency. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Open-drain input with Schmitt trigger; requires external pull-up; defines timing for data sampling on SDA edge transitions. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares bus with other I²C devices; ACK/NACK signaling occurs on 9th clock cycle after byte transmission. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Grade 1 Qualification | AEC-Q100 Rev G compliant for -40°C to +125°C operation - validated for engine bay, transmission, and safety-critical ECUs without derating. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin directly gates write enable logic - prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware faults without software intervention. |
| 16-byte Page Write Mode | Allows burst programming of up to 16 bytes per transaction - reduces I²C bus occupancy vs. byte-write, improving system responsiveness in real-time applications. |
| Noise-Suppressed Inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with 50 ns noise filter - rejects EMI spikes common in 12V automotive harnesses without external RC filtering. |
| Low Standby Current | Max 6.0 µA at 5.0V - minimizes quiescent drain on always-on vehicle batteries in sleep modes (e.g., key-off monitoring). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C08-RMN6TP | Same 8K-bit density, I²C interface, SOIC-8 package; AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C); 1.7–5.5V; no WP pin - write protection only via software lock bits. | Limited to cabin modules (infotainment, HVAC) due to lower max temperature; unsuitable for under-hood use. | Select if Grade 2 suffices and WP pin is not required; verify software-based protection meets system security requirements. |
| Rohm BR24G08FJ-WE2 | 8K-bit, I²C, TSSOP-8; AEC-Q100 Grade 1; 1.7–5.5V; built-in WP pin; supports 1 MHz Fast-mode Plus at 2.5V - higher speed than AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO. | Requires PCB layout change (TSSOP vs SOIC); faster timing may demand stricter signal integrity controls on long traces. | Choose for higher throughput needs (e.g., OTA update parameter staging); confirm TSSOP footprint compatibility and thermal pad grounding. |
Compared with M24C08-RMN6TP and BR24G08FJ-WE2, AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO provides the strictest automotive qualification (Grade 1 at 125°C), proven SOIC-8 mechanical reliability in vibration-prone environments, and hardware-level WP pin assurance - making it optimal for mission-critical powertrain and chassis systems where failure modes must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO?
The AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO operates from 2.5V to 5.5V (Grade 1 specification), supporting direct integration with common automotive 3.3V and 5V domains. It is not rated for 1.7V operation - that range applies only to Grade 3 variants (e.g., AT24C08C-SS9M-T). Always verify voltage grade from the suffix: 'D' = 2.5V min, 'M' = 1.7V min.
Does AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO support I²C fast-mode (400 kHz) at all supply voltages?
AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO guarantees 400 kHz operation at VCC = 2.5V, as specified in the AC characteristics table. At 5.5V, timing margins improve but the maximum rated frequency remains 400 kHz. It does not support Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz); for higher speeds, consider alternatives like Rohm BR24G08FJ-WE2.
How many AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO devices can share the same I²C bus?
Up to two AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO devices can coexist on one I²C bus. The device address uses fixed '1010' prefix plus the A2 pin state (0 or 1) as the LSB, yielding addresses 0xA0 and 0xA2. A0 and A1 pins are no-connect and must not be used for addressing - unlike smaller-density variants in the same family.
What is the function of the WP pin on AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO is a hardware-enforced lock: when pulled high to VCC, it disables all write operations to the entire memory array; when grounded, full read/write access is enabled. This provides fail-safe protection against corruption during power brownouts or firmware crashes - independent of software state.
Is AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO pin-compatible with other AT24CxxC variants in SOIC-8 package?
Yes, AT24C08C-STPD-TVAO shares identical SOIC-8 pinout and electrical interface with AT24C01C-STPD-T, AT24C02C-STPD-T, and AT24C04C-STPD-T. However, addressing differs: AT24C08C uses only A2 (A0/A1 NC), while AT24C04C uses A2/A1 (A0 NC), and AT24C02C uses A2/A1/A0 - so firmware must match the correct device address scheme.
