Product details
Overview
25LC010A-H/SN from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) SPI serial EEPROM with extended temperature operation (−40°C to +150°C), 5 MHz max clock speed, 16-byte page write capability, and hardware write protection via WP pin. It operates across 2.5V–5.5V supply and delivers 5 mA read/write current at 5.5V/5 MHz, targeting nonvolatile data storage in automotive engine control units, industrial sensor nodes, and high-temp industrial PLC modules.
For engineers reviewing the 25LC010A-H/SN datasheet, 25LC010A-H/SN pinout, 25LC010A-H/SN application, or 25LC010A-H/SN equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade extended-temperature qualification, SOIC-8 (SN) Pb-free RoHS-compliant package, SPI Mode 0,0/1,1 compatibility, and block-level write protection (BP0/BP1 bits controlling 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array protection).
Technical Context
The 25LC010A-H/SN implements a standard SPI interface with separate SI (data-in) and SO (data-out) lines, CS-controlled device selection, and HOLD pin for transaction suspension without reset. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, page latches, HV generator for EEPROM programming, and status register with WIP, WEL, BP0, and BP1 bits.
It supports byte and page write operations (up to 16 bytes per page), self-timed internal write cycles (≤6 ms), sequential read with automatic address increment, and dual-layer write protection: hardware (WP pin) and software (WREN/WRSR commands plus BP bits). The device resets its write enable latch on power-up, WRDI, WRSR, WRITE completion, or WP low assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 1 Kbit (128 × 8 organization) - fixed memory map requiring no external address decoding logic |
| Interface | SPI-compatible serial bus (Mode 0,0 and Mode 1,1) - interoperable with PIC® MCU SPI peripherals and bit-banged GPIO implementations |
| Max Clock Speed | 5 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5V - enables ≤200 ns minimum clock period for high-throughput configuration storage |
| Page Size | 16 bytes - constrains firmware write routines to avoid crossing physical page boundaries (0x00–0x0F, 0x10–0x1F, etc.) |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤6 ms (TWC) - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; WIP bit must be polled before next operation |
| Endurance | >1,000,000 erase/write cycles - supports frequent calibration or logging updates in field-deployed equipment |
| Data Retention | >200 years at 150°C - validated for long-term reliability in under-hood automotive and furnace-control applications |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +150°C (H grade) - qualified per AEC-Q100 for extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
25LC010A-H/SN is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC package (SN), 3.90 mm body width, Pb-free and RoHS compliant. Pin pitch is 1.27 mm; package outline conforms to JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable: pulls device out of standby; rising edge after valid write sequence triggers internal TWC; enables multi-device SPI bus sharing |
| SO (Pin 2) | Serial Data Output | Tri-state open-drain output: drives data on falling SCK edge; enters high-Z when CS high or HOLD low |
| WP (Pin 3) | Write-Protect Pin | Hardware lock: disables all array and STATUS register writes when low; does not interrupt ongoing write cycles |
| VSS (Pin 4) | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling during write operations |
| SI (Pin 5) | Serial Data Input | CMOS input: latches instruction/address/data on rising SCK edge; accepts SPI Mode 0,0 and 1,1 timing |
| SCK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock: synchronizes all SI sampling and SO updates; max 5 MHz frequency supported |
| HOLD (Pin 7) | Hold Input | Transaction pause: suspends SPI communication mid-sequence when pulled low while SCK is low; resumes on HOLD high/SCK low |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply Voltage | 2.5V–5.5V operating range: supports direct connection to 3.3V or 5V system rails without level shifting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extended Temperature Grade (H) | Rated for −40°C to +150°C operation with full electrical specification compliance - eliminates derating concerns in engine bay or industrial oven deployments |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via STATUS register BP0/BP1 bits to protect 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory - prevents accidental overwrites of critical calibration or firmware parameters |
| Power-On Write Protection | Automatic WEL reset at power-up plus built-in power-on/off circuitry - ensures EEPROM remains read-only until explicit WREN command is issued |
| High Reliability | 1M+ endurance cycles and 200+ year data retention at 150°C - validated for mission-critical storage where replacement is impractical or costly |
| HOLD Functionality | Enables host CPU to service higher-priority interrupts without aborting ongoing SPI transfers - reduces firmware complexity in real-time control systems |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity - supports environmentally compliant manufacturing and global market access |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 25LC010A-H/SN?
The 25LC010A-H/SN supports a maximum clock frequency of 5 MHz when VCC is 4.5V–5.5V, and 3 MHz when VCC is 2.5V–4.5V. This is specified in Table 1-2 (AC Characteristics) of the DS22136B datasheet. The timing constraints-including setup/hold times for CS, SI, and SCK-scale accordingly across the voltage range to ensure reliable SPI communication in high-temperature environments.
Does the 25LC010A-H/SN support page write operations, and what is the page size?
Yes, the 25LC010A-H/SN supports page write operations with a fixed page size of 16 bytes. This allows up to 16 consecutive bytes to be loaded into the page buffer before initiating an internal write cycle. Writing across a 16-byte boundary causes wraparound within the same page, so firmware must enforce alignment to prevent unintended overwrites. This behavior is documented in Figures 3-2 and 3-3 of DS22136B.
How does the write protection mechanism work on the 25LC010A-H/SN?
The 25LC010A-H/SN implements dual-layer write protection: hardware-based via the WP pin (low = full array and STATUS register write disable), and software-configurable via BP0/BP1 bits in the STATUS register (controlling 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array protection). The WP pin takes precedence-if low, no writes occur regardless of BP or WEL state. Both mechanisms are active simultaneously and detailed in Tables 3-3 and 5-1 of DS22136B.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the 25LC010A-H/SN?
The 25LC010A-H/SN is rated for >1,000,000 erase/write cycles and >200 years of data retention at +150°C. These figures are specified in the "Features" section and Table 1-2 (AC Characteristics, Note 3) of DS22136B. Endurance is characterized at 25°C and 5.5V; retention is extrapolated from accelerated testing per industry standards and validated for extended-temperature automotive applications.
Is the 25LC010A-H/SN compatible with standard SPI modes, and which ones?
Yes, the 25LC010A-H/SN is compatible with SPI Mode 0,0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and Mode 1,1 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as confirmed in Section 3.1 and Figure 1-2 of DS22136B. Data is sampled on the rising edge of SCK (SI) and output on the falling edge (SO), with CS active-low selection. It does not support Mode 0,1 or 1,0 due to fixed sampling/updates relative to clock edges.
