Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for ultra-low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz I²C bus speed, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in battery-powered IoT sensors for nonvolatile parameter storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 datasheet, AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 pinout, AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 application, or AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V minimum supply, 8-byte page write capability, SOIC-8 package compatibility, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs, and industrial-grade temperature support up to +85°C.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, requiring external pull-ups. Its internal 128-word × 8-bit memory array is organized into 16 pages of 8 bytes each, enabling partial-page writes without address rollover within page boundaries.
It uses hardwired A0–A2 address inputs for multi-device bus addressing (up to eight devices), supports acknowledge polling during write cycles, and enters low-power standby mode (<3 µA at 1.8V) after STOP condition or power-up-critical for energy-constrained edge nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), sufficient for calibration coefficients, device IDs, or small configuration tables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and mixed-voltage systems |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8V - ensures reliable timing margin in noisy low-power environments |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum interval between successive byte/page writes |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent field updates in telemetry or logging applications |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term validity of stored firmware parameters or security keys |
| Standby Current | 3 µA max at 1.8V - minimizes quiescent power in always-on sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (package code 8P3), 0.300" wide, with 0.100" lead pitch. The package is through-hole mountable and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables up to eight AT24C01A devices on one I²C bus |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; tied high/low to configure unique slave address |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines position in I²C address map (0x50–0x57) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin for stable operation |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: grounded = read/write; connected to VCC = full-array write protection |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock; open-drain requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bi-directional open-drain bus line; shares pull-up with SCL; supports wire-OR with other I²C devices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables robust noise rejection on SCL/SDA lines in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by writing up to 8 bytes per stop condition, improving firmware update efficiency |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents accidental overwrites during power brownouts or firmware glitches without software intervention |
| 100-year data retention | Eliminates need for periodic refresh in sealed, maintenance-free deployments like smart meters |
| 1.8V operation support | Direct compatibility with modern ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+, MSP430FR) without level-shifting |

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10PC-1.8?
The AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 100 kHz when operated at 1.8V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSCL for 1.8V operation. Higher frequencies (up to 400 kHz) are only guaranteed at VCC ≥ 2.7V. Using 100 kHz ensures timing compliance and noise margin in low-voltage designs.
Does AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because these pins are open-drain. 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 at 1.8V. Failure to install pull-ups will prevent I²C communication.
Can AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 be used in industrial temperature applications?
Yes, AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). For industrial use (-40°C to +85°C), the correct variant is AT24C01A-10PI-1.8. The "PC" suffix denotes commercial grade; "PI" indicates industrial grade. Using AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 outside its specified range may result in timing violations or data corruption.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01A-10PC-1.8?
On AT24C01A-10PC-1.8, the WP pin enables hardware-level write protection: when tied to VCC, all memory writes (byte and page) are blocked; when grounded, normal read/write operations proceed. This provides fail-safe protection against firmware bugs or power faults that might corrupt stored data-no software command is needed to activate it.
What is the page size and write endurance of AT24C01A-10PC-1.8?
AT24C01A-10PC-1.8 has an 8-byte page size and guarantees 1 million write cycles per memory location. Page writes allow up to 8 sequential bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction, improving efficiency. Endurance is specified at 25°C and applies to each individual byte address, ensuring long-term reliability in frequently updated applications like sensor calibration logging.
