CAT24C08WI-GT3

onsemi · EEPROM · SOIC-8

CAT24C08WI-GT3 from onsemi, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No Connect. On the CAT24C08 variant the A0 device-address pin is not used internally (a10, a9, a8 of the memory map are supplied by upper address bits inside the device), so pin 1 is a No Connect. Leave floating or tie to VSS.
2 NC unconnected No Connect on the CAT24C08 variant. The A1 device-address function is not implemented because the 8-Kb array consumes the internal address extension bits. Leave floating or tie to VSS.
3 NC unconnected No Connect on the CAT24C08 variant. The A2 device-address function is not implemented on the 8-Kb device. Leave floating or tie to VSS.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference (0 V). Common return for the supply and all logic signals.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C Serial Data input/output. Open-drain pin that receives input data and transmits data stored in the EEPROM. Data is latched on the positive edge of SCL and driven on the negative edge. Requires an external pull-up to VCC. Input capacitance typ. 8 pF max.
6 SCL input I2C Serial Clock input. Accepts the serial clock generated by the bus master. Supports 100 kHz Standard-mode and 400 kHz Fast-mode. Requires an external pull-up to VCC. VIH >= 0.7 x VCC (max 5.5 V).
7 WP input Write Protect input. When held HIGH, all write operations to the entire memory array are inhibited (read operations are unaffected). Internally pulled LOW when not driven, so writes are enabled by default. VIH >= 0.7 x VCC.
8 VCC power_in Power supply, 1.7 V to 5.5 V. Read current typ. 1 mA, write current typ. 2 mA, standby current 1-5 uA. Bypass locally to VSS with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cat24c08wi-gt3.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cat24c08wi-gt3-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with CAT24C08WI-GT3 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 649 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: onsemi datasheet (23 pp, sha256 1068a4f09584c5b3, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
