Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T from Microchip Technology is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems, featuring 1.8V to 5.5V operation, 100 kHz I²C interface speed at 1.8V, and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It delivers high reliability with 1 million write cycles and 100-year data retention, and is housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package suitable for space-constrained industrial control and sensor node applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T datasheet, AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T pinout, AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T application, or AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed 1.8V-compatible timing behavior, and real-world use context for system-level integration and BOM replacement decisions.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting bidirectional data transfer under strict timing constraints: tLOW = 4.7 µs and tHIGH = 4.0 µs minimum at 1.8V. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across pages without readdressing.
It uses hard-wired A0–A2 pins for device addressing-allowing up to eight devices on one bus-and integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs with noise filtering on all control lines. The WP pin directly disables write operations when pulled high, providing deterministic hardware-level data protection independent of firmware state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 words × 8 bits), organized as 16 pages of 8 bytes each - defines maximum byte-addressable range (0x00–0x7F) and page-write boundaries. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and compatibility with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8V - sets maximum sustained data throughput (≈10 kB/s raw) and constrains SCL rise/fall time design (tR ≤ 1.0 µs, tF ≤ 300 ns). |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - determines minimum interval between successive write commands and impacts firmware timeout handling. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - validates suitability for field-updatable configuration storage in unattended equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in industrial environments including motor drives and outdoor metering nodes. |
| Standby Current | 0.6 µA typical at 1.8V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T is packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP (8A2) measuring 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers thermal performance suitable for convection-cooled PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A0) | Device Address Input | Hard-wired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables multi-drop I²C bus configuration (up to 8 devices). |
| 2 (A1) | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; tied high/low to select unique slave address on shared SDA/SCL lines. |
| 3 (A2) | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; completes 3-bit hardware address (0x50–0x57) for collision-free arbitration. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance and routed near SDA/SCL to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (VCC) | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V supply input; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling placed within 3 mm of pin. |
| 6 (WP) | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: logic high disables all write operations, preventing accidental overwrites during power transients. |
| 7 (SCL) | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data sampling; requires external pull-up (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) and meets tLOW/tHIGH timing at 1.8V. |
| 8 (SDA) | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line; shares pull-up with SCL; supports multi-master arbitration and clock stretching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger filtered inputs | Suppresses noise-induced false clock/data transitions in electrically noisy industrial environments (e.g., near motors or relays). |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces firmware overhead by allowing up to 8 sequential bytes to be written per I²C transaction, cutting bus utilization by ~75% vs. byte writes. |
| Self-timed internal write cycle | Eliminates need for external write-delay timers; host can poll ACK after STOP to detect completion, simplifying driver implementation. |
| Hardware write protection (WP pin) | Provides fail-safe data integrity during brown-out, reset, or firmware crash-no software dependency required. |
| 1.8V–5.5V wide supply range | Enables direct connection to 1.8V microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) and eliminates level-shifter components in mixed-voltage designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01B-SSHM-T | Successor device with enhanced ESD rating (4 kV HBM), same 1K capacity, identical 8-lead SOIC package, but rated for 1 MHz I²C at 2.5V+ (not 100 kHz at 1.8V). | Requires ≥2.5V supply for full-speed operation; unsuitable for 1.8V-only systems where AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T is qualified. | Select AT24C01B only if migrating to higher-voltage domains or requiring improved robustness; verify timing compliance at target VCC. |
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1K I²C EEPROM from STMicroelectronics; supports 1.7V–5.5V, 400 kHz at 1.8V, and offers 1.8V-specific AC specs aligned with JEDEC standards. | Higher speed at 1.8V enables faster configuration loading; pinout differs (SOIC-8 vs. TSSOP-8), requiring PCB layout change. | Choose M24C01-RMN6TP when 400 kHz throughput is needed at 1.8V and board redesign is acceptable; confirm WP functionality matches system protection logic. |
Compared with AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T, AT24C01B-SSHM-T trades 1.8V timing support for higher ESD resilience and speed above 2.5V, while M24C01-RMN6TP provides superior 1.8V performance but demands mechanical redesign-making the original part optimal for cost-sensitive, 1.8V-constrained legacy platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T at 1.8V?
The AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 100 kHz when operating at 1.8V. This is explicitly specified in the AC Characteristics table (Table 5) and reflects timing constraints including minimum tLOW (4.7 µs) and tHIGH (4.0 µs). Attempting 400 kHz operation at 1.8V violates guaranteed timing margins and may result in communication failure.
Does AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T supports partial page writes: up to eight 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, and writes wrap within the same 8-byte page if the end is exceeded-enabling efficient small-data updates without full-page erasure.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T?
On AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T, the WP pin provides hardware-level write inhibition: when pulled high (≥0.7×VCC), it disables all write operations-including byte, page, and erase commands-while read operations remain fully functional. When grounded, normal read/write access is enabled. This behavior is unconditional and independent of I²C command sequence or firmware state.
Is AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T pin-compatible with AT24C01A-10PU-1.8?
No, AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T (8-lead TSSOP) is not pin-compatible with AT24C01A-10PU-1.8 (8-lead PDIP). Although both share identical pin functions (A0–A2, GND, VCC, WP, SCL, SDA), their physical footprints, lead pitch, and mounting geometry differ fundamentally-requiring separate PCB layouts and assembly tooling for each package variant.
What is the endurance specification for AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T?
The AT24C01A-10TSU-1.8-T is specified for 1 million write cycles per memory location, measured under 5.0V, 25°C conditions per Table 5. This endurance rating applies to individual bytes and is maintained across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ensuring reliable field reprogramming in applications such as firmware parameter tuning and calibration updates.
