Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1-Kbit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. 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 embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and device identifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 datasheet, AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 pinout, AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 application, or AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 2.7V minimum VCC compatibility, 8-byte page write capability, and PDIP/SOIC/TSSOP package options with verified JEDEC SOIC-8 footprint.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 implements a standard I²C-compatible 2-wire interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting bi-directional data transfer and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs. Its internal memory is organized as 16 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring a 7-bit word address for random access.
Write protection is enforced by the WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks the full 1K array; tied to GND, normal read/write operations proceed. The device enters standby mode after STOP condition receipt and supports acknowledge polling to detect write cycle completion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 words × 8 bits), sufficient for small firmware config or sensor calibration tables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 2.7V - ensures reliable timing margin in noisy industrial environments |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum interval between successive byte/page writes |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent field updates over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term storage integrity without refresh |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automation |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package, 0.150" wide, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired input enabling up to eight AT24C01A devices on one I²C bus; must match external pull-up/down |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Second address bit for multi-device addressing; tied high/low to configure unique 3-bit slave address |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Third address bit; all three (A0–A2) define 3-bit portion of 7-bit I²C device address (1010xxx) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (2.7–5.5V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: logic high disables all writes to entire memory array |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data sampling; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; shared across multiple I²C devices with single pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2.7V VCC - eliminates need for voltage regulators in 3.3V systems |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin enables irreversible lock of full memory array during power-up or runtime |
| Page write capability | 8-byte page writes reduce I²C transaction overhead versus byte-by-byte programming |
| Noise-immune inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with 100 ns noise suppression - improves robustness in EMI-prone environments |
| High endurance & retention | 1M write cycles and 100-year data retention - validated for mission-critical industrial logging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T | Same 1K capacity, 2.5–5.5V range, SOIC-8, but rated for –40°C to +125°C and uses newer process | Supports extended automotive temperature range; not qualified for industrial-only designs requiring legacy qualification | Select when operating above +85°C or requiring AEC-Q100 alignment |
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1K, 1.7–5.5V, SOIC-8, 400 kHz max at 5V, but only 100 kHz at 1.8V; no WP pin | Lacks hardware write protection; requires software-based lock mechanisms or external logic | Choose if higher-speed 5V operation is critical and WP functionality is implemented elsewhere |
Compared with AT24C01A-10PI-2.7, AT24C01D-SSHM-T extends temperature range and reliability for harsh environments, while M24C01-RMN6TP trades write protection for broader low-voltage operation and higher 5V speed - both require layout review due to non-pin-compatible WP implementation or thermal derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10PI-2.7?
The AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated within its 2.7V to 5.5V supply range. This limit ensures timing margin compliance under worst-case industrial temperature and voltage conditions. Higher speeds (e.g., 400 kHz) require ≥4.5V VCC and are not guaranteed for AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 per its ordering option suffix "-2.7".
Does AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 include hardware write protection?
Yes, AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 includes a dedicated Write Protect (WP) pin. When WP is driven high (to VCC), the entire 1K memory array is locked against write or erase operations. When WP is grounded, normal read and write functions operate. This hardware-level protection is independent of I²C commands and remains active across power cycles.
What package types are available for AT24C01A-10PI-2.7?
AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 is offered exclusively in the 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package - a 0.150"-wide, gull-wing surface-mount outline with 1.27 mm lead pitch. While the AT24C01A family also supports PDIP and TSSOP, the "-PI-2.7" suffix specifically denotes the industrial-temperature SOIC variant.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C01A-10PI-2.7?
Up to eight AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 devices can coexist on a single I²C bus. This is enabled by the three hardware-configurable address pins (A0, A1, A2), which combine with the fixed "1010" prefix to form a unique 7-bit slave address. Each device must have a distinct A0–A2 combination to avoid bus contention.
What is the write endurance and data retention specification for AT24C01A-10PI-2.7?
AT24C01A-10PI-2.7 is specified for 1 million write/erase cycles per memory location and 100 years of data retention at +25°C. These values are production-tested and guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for applications requiring long-term field reliability without periodic refresh.
