Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 2.7V 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 set-top boxes for configuration storage, smart meters for tariff/log data backup, and industrial PLCs for parameter persistence.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 datasheet, AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 pinout, AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 application, or AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.7V–5.5V supply range, 8-byte page write capability, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and I²C timing compliance at 100 kHz under low-voltage conditions.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with open-drain SDA and Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs for noise immunity. Its internal memory is organized as 16 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring a 7-bit word address for random access.
Device addressing uses A0–A2 pins (hard-wired), enabling up to eight AT24C01A devices on one bus. Write protection is controlled by the WP pin: tied to GND for full read/write access, or to VCC to lock the entire 1K array against writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), sufficient for small firmware config tables or calibration constants |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max - compliant with standard-mode I²C timing at 2.7V operation |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum interval between successive byte/page writes |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent logging or counter updates over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications |
| Standby Current | 4 µA max at 2.7V - minimizes battery drain in always-on or energy-harvesting systems |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual Inline Package), 0.300" wide, with JEDEC-standard pinout and through-hole mounting compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables multi-device I²C bus configuration |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; allows up to eight AT24C01A units on same I²C bus |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines unique slave address (0x50–0x57) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power input; accepts 2.7V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: VCC = full-array protection, GND = normal R/W operation |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; Schmitt-triggered for robust edge detection in noisy environments |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2.7V supply - eliminates need for voltage regulators in 3.3V systems |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin disables all write operations when pulled high - prevents accidental firmware corruption |
| Page write mode | 8-byte burst writes reduce I²C transaction overhead vs. single-byte writes |
| Noise-immune inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL and filtered inputs suppress EMI-induced glitches in industrial settings |
| High endurance & retention | 1M write cycles and 100-year data hold meet industrial-grade field-reliability requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02A-10PC-2.7 | 2K-bit capacity (256 × 8), identical 2.7V–5.5V range, same SOIC/PDIP packages and pinout | Supports larger configuration sets; requires no PCB change but may need firmware address-space adjustment | Select when future firmware expansion or additional parameter storage is anticipated |
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1K-bit, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 400 kHz max I²C speed, TSSOP-8 package, different pin 1 marking | Broadens voltage headroom and increases bus speed; TSSOP requires layout adaptation vs. PDIP | Choose for space-constrained designs needing higher-speed I²C or 1.8V compatibility |
Compared with AT24C01A-10PC-2.7, AT24C02A-10PC-2.7 offers double memory without altering voltage or footprint, while M24C01-RMN6TP trades PDIP compatibility for wider voltage range and faster I²C - both require validation of WP behavior and timing margins in target systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10PC-2.7?
The AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating within its 2.7V–5.5V supply range. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSCL for 2.7V operation. Higher speeds (e.g., 400 kHz) require ≥4.5V supply and are not valid for this -2.7 variant. The 100 kHz limit ensures timing margin compliance with tLOW, tHIGH, and tSU.STA under low-voltage conditions.
Does AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 supports partial page writes: up to 8 bytes can be written in a single page-write transaction, starting at any byte address within a page boundary. The internal address counter auto-increments per byte, wrapping within the 8-byte page if exceeded. This reduces I²C overhead compared to individual byte writes and is confirmed in the "Page Write" section of the datasheet.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01A-10PC-2.7?
On AT24C01A-10PC-2.7, the WP pin provides hardware-level write inhibition. When WP is tied to VCC, the entire 1K-bit memory array is locked against all write operations (byte, page, or erase). When WP is grounded, full read/write access is enabled. This behavior is electrically enforced and does not depend on firmware or I²C commands - it is a physical gate on the write path.
What package type is used for AT24C01A-10PC-2.7?
AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 uses an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual Inline Package), 0.300" wide, designated as package code 8P3 per Atmel's ordering information. This through-hole package is compatible with wave soldering and manual prototyping, and matches JEDEC MS-001BA mechanical standards.
Is AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 rated for industrial temperature range?
No, AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), as indicated by the "C" suffix in the ordering code. For industrial operation (-40°C to +85°C), the correct part is AT24C01A-10PI-2.7. Using AT24C01A-10PC-2.7 outside 0°C–70°C may result in timing violations or data corruption.
