Product details
Overview
AT24C08D-SSHM-B from Microchip Technology is an I²C-compatible 8-Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 1,024 × 8 bits, operating from 1.7V to 3.6V across -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz) I²C speeds, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers ultra-low standby current (0.8 μA max) for battery-backed systems such as smart meters and IoT sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C08D-SSHM-B datasheet, AT24C08D-SSHM-B pinout, AT24C08D-SSHM-B application, or AT24C08D-SSHM-B equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC voltage compatibility (1.7–3.6V), WP pin availability in SOIC-8 package, 16-byte page write capability, and Fast Mode Plus support at ≥2.5V - all confirmed for this specific variant.
Technical Context
The AT24C08D-SSHM-B operates as a slave device on a two-wire I²C bus, using SDA (open-drain bidirectional) and SCL (input-only) with integrated Schmitt triggers and noise-filtered inputs. Its internal architecture includes a 64-page × 16-byte memory array, hardware address comparator (A2 input), and high-voltage generation circuit enabling byte/page writes without external programming voltage.
Communication follows strict I²C timing: data latched on SCL rising edge, output on falling edge; ACK/NACK required after each byte; Start/Stop conditions define transaction boundaries. Write cycles are self-timed (≤5 ms), and the device enters Standby mode automatically after Stop condition or write completion, drawing ≤0.8 μA at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8 Kbit (1,024 × 8 bits), organized as 64 pages of 16 bytes - enables efficient firmware parameter storage with partial page writes. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 3.6V - supports direct interface with 1.8V and 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifting. |
| I²C Speed Modes | 100 kHz (Std), 400 kHz (Fast), 1 MHz (Fast Mode Plus at 2.5–3.6V) - allows scalable throughput depending on host controller capability and VCC. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - ensures reliable logging in industrial control systems with frequent configuration updates. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at 55°C - guarantees long-term integrity of calibration data and security keys in unattended deployments. |
| Standby Current | 0.8 μA maximum at 3.6V - minimizes battery drain in always-on edge sensors and wearable devices. |
| Write Protection | Hardware WP pin - provides deterministic, glitch-immune lockout of memory writes during power transitions or firmware faults. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C08D-SSHM-B is supplied in 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150 mil width), with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per Microchip DS20006022A-page 5 Table 2-1 and page 4 top-view diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired to GND or VCC to select one of two possible I²C addresses (10100xx); internally pulled down if floating - enables multi-device bus addressing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground connection; required for stable operation and ESD path - must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL. |
| SDA | Serial Data Line | Open-drain bidirectional I²C data line - requires external pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ); supports wire-OR with other open-drain devices on same bus. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Input-only clock line - must be pulled high externally; rising edge clocks data into device, falling edge clocks data out. |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables normal operation - prevents accidental overwrites during brown-out or reset. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.7–3.6V core supply - must ramp monotonically at ≤0.1 V/µs; POR circuit holds device in reset until VCC ≥ 1.5V and tPUP (100 µs) elapses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-byte Page Write Mode | Allows partial writes within a 16-byte boundary - reduces write latency vs full-page erase and avoids unnecessary data rewrites in configuration storage. |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Integrated noise filtering on SDA/SCL - eliminates false triggering from EMI in motor drives or industrial PLC environments. |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle | Max 5 ms internal write duration - removes need for host polling or timeout management; ACK polling supported for precise completion detection. |
| ESD Protection | >4,000V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 requirements for robustness in handheld and field-deployable equipment. |
| Green Packaging | Lead-free, halide-free, RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 - satisfies environmental compliance for global electronics manufacturing and end-of-life recycling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C08C-SSHM-B | Same 8-Kbit capacity and SOIC-8 package, but rated only for Standard/Fast mode (100/400 kHz), no Fast Mode Plus support. | Lacks 1 MHz operation at 2.5–3.6V - unsuitable for high-throughput hosts requiring sub-100μs byte access. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement and host operates ≤400 kHz. |
| M95M08-DWMN6TP | 8-Mbit SPI EEPROM (1,024 K × 8), 8-pin SOIC, 2.5–5.5V supply - different interface, higher density, no WP pin. | Requires SPI host interface and software driver rewrite; lacks hardware write protection - increases firmware validation burden. | Choose only if migrating to SPI architecture or needing >8 Kbit capacity; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with AT24C08C-SSHM-B, AT24C08D-SSHM-B adds Fast Mode Plus for faster configuration loading; compared with M95M08-DWMN6TP, it retains I²C simplicity and hardware WP but trades off density and voltage range - making AT24C08D-SSHM-B optimal for space-constrained, low-power I²C systems requiring deterministic write protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C08D-SSHM-B?
AT24C08D-SSHM-B supports up to 1 MHz in Fast Mode Plus, but only when VCC is between 2.5V and 3.6V. At 1.7–2.4V, it operates in Fast Mode (400 kHz max) or Standard Mode (100 kHz max). This voltage-dependent speed grading is explicitly defined in DS20006022A Table 4-3 and ensures timing compliance across its full operating range.
Does AT24C08D-SSHM-B include hardware write protection?
Yes, AT24C08D-SSHM-B includes a dedicated Write-Protect (WP) pin that, when driven high to VCC, disables all write operations to the entire memory array. When WP is low or floating (internally pulled down), writes are enabled. This hardware-level protection is independent of software commands and remains active during power transitions - a critical feature for AT24C08D-SSHM-B in safety-critical or tamper-resistant designs.
What is the memory organization of AT24C08D-SSHM-B?
AT24C08D-SSHM-B organizes its 8,192 bits as 1,024 words of 8 bits each, grouped into 64 pages of 16 bytes. This structure enables efficient 16-byte page writes with partial-page capability - meaning a write transaction can span fewer than 16 bytes within a page boundary. The page architecture directly impacts write timing and buffer management in AT24C08D-SSHM-B firmware implementations.
What is the standby current consumption of AT24C08D-SSHM-B at 3.6V?
At 3.6V and 25°C, AT24C08D-SSHM-B draws a maximum standby current of 0.8 μA, as specified in DS20006022A Table 4-2. This ultra-low quiescent draw is achieved in Standby mode - entered automatically after Stop condition or write completion - and makes AT24C08D-SSHM-B suitable for battery-powered applications with multi-year operational life requirements.
Is AT24C08D-SSHM-B RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, AT24C08D-SSHM-B is RoHS compliant, lead-free, and halide-free, as confirmed in the "Green Package Options" section of DS20006022A. The SOIC-8 package (SSHM-B suffix) uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3, supporting standard reflow profiles without special handling - a verified specification for AT24C08D-SSHM-B in commercial and industrial PCB assembly.
