CAT24C32WI-GT3

onsemi · EEPROM · SOIC-8

CAT24C32WI-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 A0 input Device address input bit 0. Hard-wired HIGH or LOW to set the I2C slave address, allowing up to eight CAT24C32 devices on a single bus. Internally pulled LOW (weak pull-down, ~50 uA max input current) when left floating.
2 A1 input Device address input bit 1. Hard-wired HIGH or LOW to set the I2C slave address. Internally pulled LOW (weak pull-down) when left floating.
3 A2 input Device address input bit 2. Hard-wired HIGH or LOW to set the I2C slave address. Internally pulled LOW (weak pull-down) when left floating.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C Serial Data I/O (open-drain). Data is acquired on the positive edge of SCL and delivered on the negative edge. Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. Input capacitance ~8 pF max.
6 SCL input I2C Serial Clock input. Accepts the clock generated by the bus master at up to 100 kHz (Standard), 400 kHz (Fast), or 1 MHz (Fast-Plus). Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC.
7 WP input Write Protect input. When pulled HIGH, inhibits all write operations to the entire memory array. Internally pulled LOW (weak pull-down, ~130 uA max input current at VCC = 5.5 V) when left floating, so writes are allowed by default.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage input, 1.7 V to 5.5 V. Powers the EEPROM core and I/O; Fast-Plus (1 MHz) operation requires VCC >= 2.5 V.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cat24c32wi-gt3.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cat24c32wi-gt3-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with CAT24C32WI-GT3 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 631 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 (16 pp, sha256 58aeb31e57e946d3, 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).
