Product details
Overview
The PCA24S08ADP,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1024 × 8-bit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with programmable access protection, organized into eight 128-byte blocks and supporting byte/page write (up to 16 bytes), sequential/random read, and block- and page-level write protection. It operates from 2.5 V to 3.6 V and delivers 100,000 write cycles with 10-year data retention.
For engineers reviewing the PCA24S08ADP,118 datasheet, PCA24S08ADP,118 pinout, PCA24S08ADP,118 application, or PCA24S08ADP,118 equivalent, this device serves as a secure, low-power non-volatile memory solution for firmware storage, configuration parameter retention, and protected ID/credential storage in industrial control, automotive subsystems, and IoT edge nodes requiring tamper-aware memory partitioning.
Technical Context
The PCA24S08ADP,118 implements an I²C-bus interface with standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) support, featuring open-drain SDA/SCL pins and active-HIGH WP and active-LOW PROT inputs. Its internal architecture includes a dedicated Access Protection Page (APP) at addresses B8h/B9h, separate from main memory, storing sticky bits (SB), protection bits (PB), and block-0 page write enable bits (WPN).
Memory access enforces strict boundary handling: multi-byte reads wrap within blocks rather than crossing boundaries, and page writes require 16-byte alignment. Write operations are gated by WP = LOW and blocked entirely when PROT = LOW, which resets all sticky bits and holds the serial port in reset.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
PCA24S08ADP,118 is packaged in TSSOP8 (SOT505-1): plastic thin shrink small outline package, 8 leads, body width 3.0 mm, lead pitch 0.65 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| n.c. | No-connect terminal | Pins 1 and 2 are internally unconnected - must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
| VDD | Positive supply rail | 2.5 V–3.6 V power input; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin |
| n.c. | No-connect terminal | Pin 3 is internally unconnected - no external connection permitted |
| WP | Active-HIGH write protect | When HIGH, disables all write operations to main memory, APP, and ID pages |
| PROT | Active-LOW protect reset | When LOW, resets all sticky bits (SBx, SBAP) and holds serial interface in reset |
| SCL | I²C serial clock input | Open-drain input; requires external pull-up to VDD; controls timing of all bus transactions |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and directly connected to PCB ground plane |
| SDA | I²C serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares pull-up with SCL; carries address, command, and data |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable block/page access protection | Enables hardware-enforced read/write permissions per block (PB0–PB7) and per page in Block 0 (WPN0–WPN7), preventing unauthorized firmware or credential modification |
| Dedicated Access Protection Page (APP) | Separate 16-byte EEPROM page (accessed via B8h/B9h) stores protection metadata - isolates security configuration from user data and prevents accidental overwrite |
| Sticky bit (SB) locking mechanism | Once cleared (SBx = 0), corresponding PBx or WPN fields become immutable until next power cycle - guarantees irreversible lockdown of critical memory regions |
| Coil-detect emulation | Provides DE/DC bits (Byte 10) for backward compatibility with AT24RF08C-based software stacks, returning "coil not detected" without RF hardware |
| Full-memory write protect | WP pin assertion blocks writes to all 8 kbits, APP registers, and ID page - provides system-level emergency lockout independent of software state |

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-T | Lacks access protection, APP page, sticky bits, and PROT pin; only basic 1024×8-bit I²C EEPROM | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-security-critical applications without need for memory partitioning or write lockdown | Select when security features are unnecessary and legacy 24C08 pinout (A0–A2 on pins 1–3) is required |
| M95M01-RDW6TP/K | 1 Mbit SPI EEPROM (128k × 8); no I²C interface, no APP page, no sticky-bit locking | Used where higher density and SPI interface are preferred, but lacks hardware-enforced access control | Select for SPI-based designs needing >8 kbit capacity and faster random access, accepting absence of block-level protection |
Compared with AT24C08C-SSHM-T and M95M01-RDW6TP/K, the PCA24S08ADP,118 uniquely delivers hardware-enforced memory partitioning, irreversible sticky-bit locking, and dual-layer write protection (WP + PROT), making it the only option among the three suitable for applications requiring certified data integrity and anti-tamper configuration storage.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PROT pin on the PCA24S08ADP,118?
The PROT pin on the PCA24S08ADP,118 is an active-LOW protect reset input. When held LOW, it resets all sticky bits (SB0–SB7, SBAP) to logic 1 and places the serial interface in reset, disabling all I²C communication. This ensures deterministic initialization and prevents unintended access during power-up or fault conditions. The PCA24S08ADP,118 resumes normal operation only after PROT is brought HIGH, allowing controlled release of memory protection states.
How does the PCA24S08ADP,118 implement write protection beyond the WP pin?
Beyond the global WP pin, the PCA24S08ADP,118 implements hierarchical write protection via its Access Protection Page (APP). Each of the eight memory blocks has programmable protection bits (PBx) that control read/write access, and Block 0 supports individual 16-byte page write enables (WPN0–WPN7). Sticky bits (SBx) lock PBx/WPN configurations permanently until power cycle. The PCA24S08ADP,118 enforces these protections at the hardware level, rejecting illegal accesses with NACK responses.
Can the PCA24S08ADP,118 be used as a direct replacement for standard 24C08 EEPROMs?
The PCA24S08ADP,118 is pin-compatible with standard 24C08 devices in SO8 and TSSOP8 packages, but pins 1, 2, and 3 are no-connect instead of address inputs. Functionally, it extends 24C08 capability with access protection, APP page, and PROT pin. The PCA24S08ADP,118 operates identically for basic read/write commands but requires updated firmware to configure protection features and handle APP page addressing (B8h/B9h).
What is the purpose of the Access Protection Page (APP) in the PCA24S08ADP,118?
The Access Protection Page (APP) is a dedicated 16-byte EEPROM region (addressed via B8h/B9h) that stores protection metadata - including sticky bits (SBx), protection bits (PBx), block-0 page write enables (WPN), and coil-detect emulation bits. It is physically and logically isolated from main memory to prevent accidental overwrite. The PCA24S08ADP,118 uses this page to enforce hardware-level access control policies without consuming user data space.
Does the PCA24S08ADP,118 support multi-byte reads across block boundaries?
No, the PCA24S08ADP,118 does not support multi-byte reads across block boundaries. When a sequential read reaches the end of a 128-byte block, the internal address counter wraps to the start of that same block rather than advancing to the next block. This behavior is explicitly defined in Section 6.6 of the datasheet as an exception to standard 24C08 operation and ensures predictable memory access within protected partitions. The PCA24S08ADP,118 enforces this boundary strictly in hardware.
