Product details
Overview
11AA020-I/SN from Microchip Technology is a 2 Kbit (256 × 8) serial EEPROM with UNI/O® single I/O bus interface, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V, featuring 16-byte page write buffer, 1 µA max standby current (I-temp), and Schmitt-trigger SCIO input for noise immunity in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 11AA020-I/SN datasheet, 11AA020-I/SN pinout, 11AA020-I/SN application, or 11AA020-I/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V low-voltage operation, Manchester-encoded UNI/O® timing compliance (10–100 kHz), built-in block write protection (0/¼/½/all), and SOT-23-3 package compatibility with legacy 3-pin footprint designs.
Technical Context
The 11AA020-I/SN implements a Manchester-encoded, master-controlled UNI/O® bus protocol over a single bidirectional SCIO line, eliminating need for separate clock and data lines. Its internal architecture includes a 16-byte page latch, STATUS register with WIP/WEL/BP bits, and current-limited slope-controlled output driver to suppress ground bounce.
It supports dynamic re-synchronization during each MAK bit to tolerate up to ±0.50% frequency drift per byte and ±0.06 UI edge jitter, enabling robust communication across voltage/temperature variations. Write cycles are self-timed (max 10 ms), with automatic erase before programming and hardware write protection via VCC monitoring and latch control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 2 Kbit (256 × 8 organization) - fixed memory map usable for calibration data, device IDs, or configuration storage without external address decoding |
| Interface | UNI/O® single I/O bus - reduces PCB routing to one signal plus VCC/VSS, ideal for ultra-low-pin-count microcontrollers |
| VCC Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and backward compatibility with 3.3V/5V systems |

Pinout & Package
11AA020-I/SN is packaged in 3-lead SOT-23 (SN suffix), with SCIO serving as bidirectional serial clock/data line, VCC as supply input, and VSS as ground reference. No NC pins are connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCIO | Serial Clock/Data I/O | Manchester-encoded bidirectional bus line - requires no external pull-up; integrates Schmitt trigger and slope control to eliminate ground bounce |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to avoid timing skew on SCIO transitions |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Power input for EEPROM core and I/O driver - supports brown-out detection circuitry for power-fail write protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UNI/O® Bus Protocol | Single-wire Manchester encoding eliminates clock/data skew and simplifies layout in high-noise motor control environments |
| Page Write Buffer | 16-byte buffer enables atomic multi-byte writes - prevents partial updates during power loss in automotive body control modules |
| Status Register Access | Real-time WIP and WEL bit polling via RDSR command - allows host MCU to avoid blocking delays during write cycles |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable BP0/BP1 bits protect 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of array - secures bootloader regions in firmware-upgradable IoT edge devices |
| ESD Robustness | >4 kV HBM - withstands handling and assembly stresses without external TVS diodes in consumer electronics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT21CS01-SSHM-T | 1 Kbit density, 1.7–5.5V, I²C interface, 3-lead SOT-23 package | Requires two I/O lines (SCL/SDA); lacks UNI/O® single-wire simplicity and built-in block protection | Select when existing design uses I²C and density requirement is ≤1 Kbit |
| 11LC020-I/SN | Same 2 Kbit density and UNI/O® interface, but 2.5–5.5V VCC range (no 1.8V support) | Not suitable for 1.8V-only systems; otherwise pin- and function-compatible with identical timing and protection features | Select when system operates ≥2.5V and automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) is required |
Compared with 11AA020-I/SN, AT21CS01-SSHM-T adds I²C compatibility but increases pin count and removes low-voltage operation, while 11LC020-I/SN retains full functional equivalence except for the 1.8V capability - making it a drop-in alternative only in higher-voltage industrial contexts.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the 11AA020-I/SN?
The 11AA020-I/SN operates down to 1.8V across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Below 2.5V, the datasheet specifies reduced timing margins and limits standby current testing to TA = -20°C to +85°C, but functional operation remains guaranteed at 1.8V. This makes the 11AA020-I/SN suitable for battery-powered devices using single-cell Li-ion or alkaline supplies.
Does the 11AA020-I/SN support true single-wire communication without external components?
Yes, the 11AA020-I/SN implements the UNI/O® protocol with integrated Manchester encoding/decoding, Schmitt-trigger input, and slope-controlled output driver - requiring no external clock line, pull-up resistors, or level shifters. The SCIO pin handles bidirectional clock and data transmission autonomously, confirmed by DS22067J-page 2 functional description and Figure 2-1 block diagram.
How does write protection work on the 11AA020-I/SN?
Write protection on the 11AA020-I/SN is controlled by two nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits in the STATUS register, set via the WRSR command. These bits enable four protection modes: no protection, top ¼, top ½, or full array lock. Protection is enforced at the hardware level during WRITE and WRSR commands, independent of the write enable latch state - ensuring secure configuration storage in the 11AA020-I/SN.
What is the maximum bit rate supported by the 11AA020-I/SN UNI/O® bus?
The 11AA020-I/SN supports a maximum serial bus frequency of 100 kHz, corresponding to a minimum bit period (TE) of 10 µs. This is specified in Table 1-2 AC Characteristics (Param. No. 1 FBUS) and confirmed in the Features list as "100 kbps Max. Bit Rate – Equivalent to 100 kHz Clock Frequency". Timing tolerances include ±0.50% frequency drift per byte and ±0.06 UI jitter.
Can the 11AA020-I/SN be used in automotive applications?
The 11AA020-I/SN is rated for Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) only. For automotive applications requiring -40°C to +125°C operation, Microchip offers the functionally identical 11LC020-I/SN (same density, UNI/O® interface, and package options) with E-temp qualification. The 11AA020-I/SN itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified and should not be deployed in under-hood or safety-critical automotive subsystems.
