Product details
Overview
AT24C01-10SC-2.5 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) serial EEPROM IC optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz I²C communication, features 4-byte page write mode, self-timed 10 ms max write cycle, and delivers 1 million write endurance with 100-year data retention - used in industrial sensor calibration storage and consumer device configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01-10SC-2.5 datasheet, AT24C01-10SC-2.5 pinout, AT24C01-10SC-2.5 application, or AT24C01-10SC-2.5 equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.5V–5.5V supply range, JEDEC SOIC-8 package, 100 kHz I²C timing compliance at 2.5V, page-write capability, and industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) temperature rating.
Technical Context
The AT24C01-10SC-2.5 implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) serial interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL pins. It uses addressable byte/page write and sequential read protocols with ACK polling support for write-cycle completion detection.
Internally organized as 128 words of 8 bits, it requires a 7-bit word address for random access and supports automatic address increment during sequential reads. The TEST pin is tied to GND or VCC per application; NC pins are unconnected and must be left floating.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01-10SC-2.5?
The AT24C01-10SC-2.5 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating within its 2.5V–5.5V supply range. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table for 2.5V, 2.7V, and 1.8V versions. It does not support 400 kHz operation - that rating applies only to the 5.0V version (e.g., AT24C01-10SC).
Does AT24C01-10SC-2.5 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C01-10SC-2.5 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is input-only. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed; 4.7 kΩ is commonly used for 100 kHz operation with moderate trace length.
What is the function of the TEST pin on AT24C01-10SC-2.5?
The TEST pin on AT24C01-10SC-2.5 is a factory test input and must be externally tied to either GND or VCC in the final application. It is not used during normal operation and leaving it floating may cause undefined behavior or increased current consumption.
Can AT24C01-10SC-2.5 be used in automotive applications?
The AT24C01-10SC-2.5 is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it may function in some automotive body electronics, Microchip specifies separate automotive-grade variants (e.g., AT24C01-10SI-2.5) for under-hood or safety-critical use - AT24C01-10SC-2.5 is intended for commercial/industrial environments.
How many write cycles can AT24C01-10SC-2.5 endure before failure?
AT24C01-10SC-2.5 is guaranteed for 1 million write cycles per memory location, as confirmed in the "High Reliability" section of its datasheet. This endurance applies across the full operating temperature and voltage range, and is validated using page-write and byte-write methods.
