Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10SC-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 commonly used in battery-powered IoT sensors for storing calibration data and device configuration.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 datasheet, AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 pinout, AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 application, or AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V minimum supply compatibility, 8-byte page write capability, SOIC-8 package footprint, and industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) confirmed for this specific ordering code.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA and SCL inputs. Its internal memory is organized as 16 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring a 7-bit word address for random access. The device uses open-drain bidirectional SDA with external pull-up and positive-edge clocking on SCL.
Write protection is enforced by the WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks the full 1K array; tied to GND, full read/write access is enabled. Addressing uses A0–A2 pins - all hardwired for AT24C01A - enabling up to eight devices on one I²C bus. Standby current is specified at 3 µA max at 1.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; completes 3-bit hardware address; all three pins are active for AT24C01A/02 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and I/O; must be low-impedance to maintain noise immunity during write cycles |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm for stable 100 kHz operation |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: VCC = full-array protection; GND = normal read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge triggered I²C clock; requires external pull-up; max 100 kHz at 1.8V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1K-bit, 1.7V–5.5V, 400 kHz max (at ≥2.5V), SOIC-8, 1M endurance, but no 100 kHz guarantee at 1.8V | Higher speed at 2.5V+, but less margin for 1.8V-only systems | Select if system operates ≥2.5V and requires faster writes; verify 1.8V timing compliance separately |
| BR24G01NUX-10 | 1K-bit, 1.6V–5.5V, 1 MHz max (with Fast-mode Plus), TSSOP-8, 4M endurance, but WP pin not implemented | Lacks hardware write protection; higher endurance but different package and no WP function | Choose when extended write cycles or TSSOP footprint are prioritized over hardware lock capability |
Compared with AT24C01A-10SC-1.8, M24C01-RMN6TP offers higher speed above 2.5V but weaker 1.8V timing assurance, while BR24G01NUX-10 provides superior endurance and lower voltage floor but omits the WP pin - making AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 the only option here with guaranteed 100 kHz operation *and* hardware write protection at 1.8V.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10SC-1.8?
The AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating at 1.8V, as specified in its AC characteristics table. This limit ensures timing margin for reliable communication with low-power microcontrollers. At higher supply voltages (e.g., 2.5V+), the device can support 400 kHz, but the -1.8 suffix confirms its qualification and guaranteed performance at the 1.8V minimum.
Does AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 include hardware write protection?
Yes, AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 includes a dedicated Write Protect (WP) pin. When WP is pulled high to VCC, the entire 1K memory array is locked against writes; when grounded, full read/write access is enabled. This hardware-level protection prevents accidental or malicious overwrites during power-up, reset, or firmware updates - a critical feature for certified medical and industrial applications.
What package type is used for AT24C01A-10SC-1.8?
AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 uses an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (package code 8S1), with 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and dimensions of 3.99 mm × 4.98 mm. This surface-mount package is widely supported in automated assembly and offers better thermal and mechanical reliability than PDIP for industrial PCBs.
What is the memory organization of AT24C01A-10SC-1.8?
AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 is internally organized as 128 words of 8 bits each (1024 bits total), arranged in 16 pages of 8 bytes. This structure enables efficient 8-byte page writes and requires only a 7-bit word address for random access - reducing I²C address overhead and simplifying firmware implementation in memory-constrained MCUs.
Is AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 rated for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, AT24C01A-10SC-1.8 is qualified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), as indicated by the "I" suffix in its full ordering matrix (e.g., AT24C01A-10SI-1.8). The "SC" denotes SOIC packaging, and the "-1.8" specifies 1.8V–5.5V operation - confirming its suitability for harsh-environment applications like factory automation and outdoor metering.
