Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 2.5V 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 in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It is commonly used for configuration storage in smart meters and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 datasheet, AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 pinout, AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 application, or AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5V minimum supply, 8-byte page write capability, SOIC-8 industrial-grade packaging, and compatibility with standard I²C controllers requiring Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 implements a fixed 7-bit I²C device address with hardwired A0–A2 pins enabling up to eight devices on one bus. Its memory is organized into 16 pages of 8 bytes each, supporting both byte and page write modes with automatic address incrementing within page boundaries.
It uses open-drain SDA/SCL interfaces compliant with I²C protocol timing - including START/STOP detection, ACK polling during write cycles, and current-limited output drivers. The WP pin enables full-array hardware write protection when pulled high, while Schmitt-trigger inputs and internal noise filtering ensure robust operation in electrically noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 words × 8 bits), sufficient for small firmware config tables or calibration data sets |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with 2.5V/3.3V microcontrollers without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max - compatible with legacy and resource-constrained I²C masters |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum interval between successive write commands |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent field-updatable parameter logging |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended deployments |

| Package | 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), measuring 3.99 mm × 4.98 mm × 1.73 mm, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; enables multi-device I²C bus addressing (A0–A2 define 3-bit slave address) |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; used with A0/A2 to select one of up to eight AT24C01A devices on same bus |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; completes 3-bit device address for bus arbitration |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal logic; must be low-impedance for stable I²C signaling |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power input (2.5V–5.5V); decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware-enforced full-array write lock when pulled high; grounded for normal read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Open-drain clock line synchronized to I²C master; drives internal timing for data sampling |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bi-directional open-drain data line; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable I²C communication in presence of EMI or slow-rising signals on SCL/SDA lines |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces total write time vs. byte-by-byte writes - e.g., 8-byte update completes in one 10 ms cycle |
| Self-timed write cycle | Eliminates need for external write timing control; host can poll ACK to detect completion |
| Industrial temperature grade | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for factory automation and energy infrastructure |
| No-connect pins not used | A0–A2 are functional address inputs; no NC pins present - all 8 pins serve defined electrical roles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | 2K-bit capacity (256 × 8), same 2.5V–5.5V range and SOIC-8 package; higher density with identical pinout | Supports larger configuration datasets; requires updated address handling in firmware for >128-word access | Select when future-proofing for expanded parameter sets without PCB redesign |
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1K-bit STMicroelectronics EEPROM; 1.8V–5.5V range, 400 kHz max I²C speed, same SOIC-8 footprint | Higher-speed bus support and lower 1.8V min supply; different device address mapping (A0–A2 not used) | Choose for designs needing faster writes or 1.8V system integration, accepting minor firmware address changes |
Compared with AT24C01A-10SI-2.5, AT24C02D-SSHM-T offers double memory without layout change, while M24C01-RMN6TP provides broader voltage flexibility and faster timing but requires validation of device addressing behavior in existing I²C stacks.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10SI-2.5?
The AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating at 2.5V supply. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSCL for 2.5V/2.7V/1.8V versions. Higher frequencies (up to 400 kHz) require ≥4.5V VCC, which is outside the rated range for AT24C01A-10SI-2.5.
Does AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 supports partial page writes. Its 1K-bit memory is organized into 16 pages of 8 bytes each, and the device allows writing 1–8 bytes per page without overwriting adjacent locations - provided the write sequence stays within the same page boundary.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01A-10SI-2.5?
On AT24C01A-10SI-2.5, the WP pin enables hardware-level write protection: when pulled high (to VCC), it locks the entire 1K-bit array against write operations while permitting unrestricted reads; when grounded, full read/write access is restored. No software command is needed to activate this feature.
What is the standby current consumption of AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 at 2.5V?
At VCC = 2.5V and TA = 25°C, the standby current (ISB2) for AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 is specified as 1.4 µA (typical) to 4.0 µA (maximum). This ultra-low quiescent draw supports battery-powered applications where EEPROM must remain powered continuously.
Is AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 pin-compatible with other AT24Cxx family members in SOIC-8?
Yes, AT24C01A-10SI-2.5 shares identical SOIC-8 pinout and signal definitions (A0–A2, SDA, SCL, WP, VCC, GND) with AT24C02, AT24C04, AT24C08, and AT24C16 in the same package variant - enabling drop-in replacement where memory size and timing requirements align.
