Product details
Overview
AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 from Microchip Technology is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, supports 400 kHz I²C bus speed at 2.7V+, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention in an 8-lead TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 datasheet, AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 pinout, AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 application, or AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (2.7–5.5V), 8-byte page write capability, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs, and TSSOP-8 footprint suitability for space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting both byte and 8-byte page writes. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across memory boundaries, while hardware write protection via the WP pin disables all write operations when pulled high.
It uses hard-wired A0–A2 device address pins to support up to eight devices on a single I²C bus, and incorporates Schmitt-triggered, filtered inputs for robust operation in electrically noisy environments. The device enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition receipt or power-up, drawing only 1.6 µA typical at 2.7V.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 400 kHz at ≥2.7V - enables fast parameter updates in real-time control loops |
| Write Cycle Time | Max 5 ms - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; impacts firmware retry logic design |

Pinout & Package
AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) per JEDEC MO-153, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 4.4 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are gull-wing shaped for standard reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired address bit; sets LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address (0x50–0x57) when used with A1/A2 |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of 3-bit hardware address; enables multi-device I²C bus topology with up to eight AT24C01A units |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of 3-bit hardware address; determines unique I²C address alongside A0 and A1 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance to ensure noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (2.7–5.5V); decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable operation |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC to disable all writes; tied to GND for normal R/W access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data transfer; requires external pull-up; defines timing for read/write sequences |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shared across I²C bus; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-wire Serial Interface | Fully compliant with I²C protocol - reduces PCB routing complexity and pin count vs. SPI or parallel EEPROMs |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Enables reliable operation with slow-rising or noisy clock/data signals - eliminates false triggering in industrial environments |
| 8-byte Page Write Mode | Allows burst programming of up to 8 bytes per write cycle - improves firmware update efficiency vs. single-byte writes |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides fail-safe data integrity - prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware faults |
| Low Standby Current | 1.6 µA typical at 2.7V - extends battery life in portable or energy-harvesting applications |

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 part with enhanced ESD rating (4 kV HBM), same 1K capacity, 2.5–5.5V range, and TSSOP-8 package | Designed for newer designs requiring higher robustness; not drop-in due to voltage range shift | Select AT24C01B-SSHM-T for new designs needing improved ESD immunity and extended lifecycle support |
| CAT24C01HU2I-GT3 | 1K I²C EEPROM from onsemi; identical 2.7–5.5V range, 400 kHz speed, TSSOP-8, and 1M/100yr specs | Pin- and function-compatible; qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C) | Choose CAT24C01HU2I-GT3 when automotive qualification or dual-sourcing is required |
Compared with AT24C01A-10TU-2.7, the AT24C01B-SSHM-T offers higher ESD tolerance but narrower VCC range, while CAT24C01HU2I-GT3 provides identical electrical specs plus AEC-Q100 qualification-making it suitable for automotive BOMs where qualification matters more than legacy compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01A-10TU-2.7?
The AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at VCC ≥ 2.7V. At lower voltages (e.g., 1.8V), the maximum rated speed drops to 100 kHz - but since AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 is specified for 2.7–5.5V operation, 400 kHz is its full-speed capability. This allows efficient parameter updates in time-sensitive applications without requiring protocol translation.
Does AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed requirements. Without pull-ups, the AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 cannot drive high logic levels, resulting in communication failure.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01A-10TU-2.7?
When the WP pin of AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 is driven high (to VCC), all write operations - including byte, page, and erase - are disabled, protecting the entire 1K memory array. When WP is grounded, normal read and write functions operate. This hardware-level lock prevents accidental overwrites during power-up transients or firmware errors, enhancing system reliability.
What is the memory organization of AT24C01A-10TU-2.7?
The AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 contains 1024 bits organized as 128 words × 8 bits. Internally, it is divided into 16 pages of 8 bytes each. This structure enables 8-byte page writes and supports random addressing using a 7-bit word address. The page architecture optimizes write efficiency while maintaining compatibility with standard I²C EEPROM drivers.
Is AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, AT24C01A-10TU-2.7 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, as indicated by the "U" suffix in its ordering code. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and associated exemptions, and is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations. This compliance supports environmentally regulated deployments in industrial, medical, and consumer electronics markets.
