Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24C01C is a 1K bit
Serial Electrically Erasable PROM with a voltage range
of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device is organized as a single
block of 128 x 8-bit memory with a 2-wire serial
interface. Low-current design permits operation with
max. standby and active currents of only 5
A
and 1
mA, respectively. The device has a page write capabil-
ity for up to 16 bytes of data and has fast write cycle
times of only 1 ms for both byte and page writes. Func-
tional address lines allow the connection of up to eight
24C01C devices on the same bus for up to 8K bits of
contiguous EEPROM memory. The device is available
in the standard 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SOIC (3.90 mm),
8-pin 2x3 DFN and TDFN, 8-pin MSOP and TSSOP
packages. The 24C01C is also available in the 6-lead
SOT-23 package.

= total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
As a transmitter, the device must provide an internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
The combined T
SP
and V
HYS
specifications are due to new Schmitt Trigger inputs, which provide improved
noise spike suppression. This eliminates the need for a T
I
specification for standard operation.
This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization. For endurance estimates in a specific
application, please consult the Total Endurance™ Model, which can be obtained from Microchip’s web site
at www.microchip.com.

SDA Serial Data
2.5
Noise Protection
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and data out of the device. It is an open
drain terminal; therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-
up resistor to V
CC
(typical 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 k for
400 kHz).
For normal data transfer SDA is allowed to change only
during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are
reserved for indicating the Start and Stop conditions.
The 24C01C employs a V
CC
threshold detector circuit
which disables the internal erase/write logic if the V
CC
is below 3.8 volts at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation even on a noisy bus.
2.2
SCL Serial Clock
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
2.3
A0, A1, A2
The levels on these inputs are compared with the
corresponding bits in the slave address. The chip is
selected if the compare is true.
Up to eight 24C01C devices may be connected to the
same bus by using different Chip Select bit combina-
tions. These inputs must be connected to either V
CC
or
V
SS
.
For the SOT-23 devices up to four devices may be con-
nected to the same bus using different Chip Select bit
combinations.
In most applications, the chip address inputs A0, A1
and A2 are hard-wired to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. For
applications in which these pins are controlled by a
microcontroller or other programmable device, the chip
address pins must be driven to logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’
before normal device operation can proceed.
2.4
Test
This pin is utilized for testing purposes only. It may be
tied high, tied low or left floating.
