Product Overview
The Microchip 24LC08BT-I/OT is an 8Kbit (1,024 x 8) serial EEPROM with a 2‑wire I²C serial interface. Operating over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, it is compatible with 3V and 5V systems, making it an ideal choice for mixed‑voltage designs. The device supports standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) I²C modes, providing flexible and efficient data transfer for configuration storage, device parameters, calibration data, and small data logging applications.
The 24LC08BT is organized with a 16‑byte page write buffer, a maximum write cycle time of 5 ms, and features hardware write protection (WP pin) that safeguards the entire memory array. Packaged in an ultra‑compact 5‑pin SOT‑23 surface‑mount package (I/OT suffix), it occupies minimal board space, ideal for space‑constrained designs such as wearables, IoT sensors, and portable medical devices. The device operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and offers 1 million write cycles and 200‑year data retention, ensuring long‑term reliability for industrial and embedded applications.

⚡ I²C Performance & Write Protection
Write throughput: up to 3.2 kbyte/s (page write)
WP pin high = full array write‑protected
The 24LC08BT includes a write enable latch (WEL) that prevents accidental writes after power‑up. A write disable command resets the latch, adding an extra layer of security against unintended modifications.
🧠 Memory Organization & Addressing
The 8Kbit memory is organized as 1,024 x 8 (1KB). The device uses a byte‑wide address (8‑bit) for random reads/writes. Page write allows up to 16 consecutive bytes to be written with a single internal write cycle, significantly improving throughput for block updates. The I²C slave address comprises a fixed portion (1010) and the three address pins (A2, A1, A0), allowing up to eight devices on the same bus.
