Product details
Overview
R1EX24128BTAS0I from Renesas Electronics is a 128-kbit (16,384 × 8-bit) two-wire serial EEPROM with I²C interface, 400 kHz clock support, 1.8–5.5 V single-supply operation, and TSSOP-8 packaging. It delivers high reliability via MONOS memory technology, supports 64-byte page writes, and operates across −40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded systems requiring nonvolatile parameter storage.
For engineers reviewing the R1EX24128BTAS0I datasheet, R1EX24128BTAS0I pinout, R1EX24128BTAS0I application, or R1EX24128BTAS0I equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5 ms write cycle time, 1,000k endurance, 100-year data retention, WP pin-based hardware write protection, and compatibility with standard I²C bus timing at 400 kHz.
Technical Context
This device implements a two-wire I²C-compatible serial interface with fixed 1010 device code and user-configurable A0–A2 address pins enabling up to eight devices on one bus. Its internal architecture includes a high-voltage generator, address/data latches, and a serial-parallel converter optimized for low-power read/write cycles.
Write operations support both byte and 64-byte page modes, with automatic address incrementing within pages and rollover behavior at page boundaries. Acknowledge polling enables host firmware to detect write completion without fixed delay timing, while the WP pin provides hardware-level protection against accidental writes when driven high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 kbit (16,384 × 8-bit) - sufficient for storing configuration tables, calibration data, or firmware metadata in resource-constrained systems. |
| Interface | I²C two-wire serial - compatible with standard microcontroller I²C peripherals without additional protocol translation logic. |
| Max clock frequency | 400 kHz - supports fast parameter loading while maintaining noise immunity and signal integrity on shared buses. |
| Write cycle time | 5 ms max - defines minimum interval between write commands; critical for real-time logging or state capture applications. |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 write/erase cycles - ensures long-term reliability in systems performing frequent updates (e.g., metering, diagnostics). |
| Data retention | 100 years min - guarantees persistent storage of critical settings across product lifetime without refresh. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation in automotive ECUs, PLCs, and network infrastructure equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin plastic TSSOP (PTSP0008JC-B / TTP-8DAV), 4.4 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, Ni/Pd/Au plating, lead-free and halogen-free compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device address inputs | Hard-wired to VCC/VSS to select one of eight possible I²C addresses; internally pulled down, so floating defaults to "0". |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance and decoupled near device. |
| VCC | Power supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin per noise suppression guidelines. |
| WP | Write protect control | Active-high hardware lock: drives high to disable all writes; not internally pulled, so must be actively driven or tied. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Open-drain compatible; hosts must provide pull-up; timing-critical for I²C compliance (tLOW ≥1200 ns, tHIGH ≥600 ns). |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up; transitions only allowed during SCL low period per I²C spec. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MONOS memory technology | Enables 100-year data retention and 1M-cycle endurance without wear leveling firmware overhead. |
| 64-byte page write | Reduces firmware latency by up to 64× vs. byte-write mode when updating contiguous configuration blocks. |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents corruption during power transients or software faults-no software driver dependency required. |
| Low-power standby current | 1.0 µA typical at 3.3 V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or backup memory applications. |
| I²C bus noise suppression | Filters glitches <100 ns wide - improves robustness in electrically noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C128C-SSHL-T (Microchip) | Same 128 kbit I²C EEPROM, but rated for 1 MHz max clock and uses different internal memory architecture (floating-gate). | Higher speed may benefit burst-read applications; lacks MONOS-specific radiation tolerance claims. | Select if 1 MHz operation is required and MONOS-specific retention/endurance margins are not mandated. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 (ROHM) | 128 kbit I²C EEPROM with identical 400 kHz max clock, 1.7–5.5 V range, and TSSOP-8 package; specifies 400 kcycles endurance (vs. 1M). | Lower endurance rating limits suitability for high-write-frequency use cases like real-time logging. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 400 kcycle endurance suffices and ROHM's supply chain alignment is preferred. |
Compared with AT24C128C-SSHL-T and BR24G128FJ-WE2, the R1EX24128BTAS0I offers superior endurance (1M vs. 400k/1M) and proven MONOS-based data retention, making it optimal for long-life industrial deployments where write frequency and archival integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the R1EX24128BTAS0I?
The R1EX24128BTAS0I supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 400 kHz, as specified in its AC characteristics table. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage range (1.8 V to 5.5 V). Exceeding this frequency may result in timing violations, failed acknowledge pulses, or corrupted data transfers. The R1EX24128BTAS0I does not support Fast Mode (1 MHz) or higher I²C speeds.
Does the R1EX24128BTAS0I require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the R1EX24128BTAS0I requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because these pins use open-drain output drivers. The datasheet specifies that SDA transitions must occur only during SCL low periods and that VOL must remain ≤0.4 V at IOL = 3.0 mA. Proper resistor selection depends on bus capacitance, desired rise time, and supply voltage; typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ for 3.3 V systems. The R1EX24128BTAS0I itself does not integrate internal pull-ups.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on the R1EX24128BTAS0I?
On the R1EX24128BTAS0I, the WP pin is an active-high hardware write protection input. When WP is driven high (VIH ≥ 0.7 × VCC), all write operations-including byte and page writes-are disabled, and the device responds with a NO ACK ('1') after receiving write data. When WP is low (VIL ≤ 0.3 × VCC), normal read/write operation is enabled. The WP pin is not internally pulled, so it must be actively driven or tied to VSS/VCC-floating is prohibited per the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed data retention period for the R1EX24128BTAS0I?
The R1EX24128BTAS0I guarantees a minimum data retention period of 100 years under specified operating conditions (VCC = 1.8 V to 5.5 V, Ta = −40°C to +85°C). This specification is based on MONOS memory cell characterization and is not 100% tested per unit but statistically validated per JEDEC standards. Retention remains valid even after 1,000,000 write cycles, provided the device operates within its absolute maximum ratings and environmental specifications throughout its lifetime.
Can the R1EX24128BTAS0I operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R1EX24128BTAS0I is fully specified to operate from a 1.8 V supply, with all DC and AC parameters-including 400 kHz I²C timing, 5 ms write cycle time, and 1.0 µA standby current-guaranteed at VCC = 1.8 V. Its 1.8–5.5 V operating range allows direct interfacing with modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers and SoCs without level-shifting circuitry, making the R1EX24128BTAS0I suitable for battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications.
