Product details
Overview
AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 from Microchip Technology is a 1-Kbit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz I²C communication at 1.8V, features hardware write protection via the WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention - used in industrial sensor calibration storage and power-management configuration backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 datasheet, AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 pinout, AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 application, or AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V minimum supply compatibility, 8-pin MAP package footprint, page-write capability (8-byte pages), Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on SDA/SCL, and automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting standard-mode (100 kHz) timing at 1.8V. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across 128 bytes, and device addressing uses hard-wired A0–A2 pins to support up to eight devices on one bus.
Write operations are self-timed with ≤5 ms completion; partial page writes are permitted within its 16-page × 8-byte memory architecture. The WP pin provides hardware-level write lock for the full 1K array when pulled high, and all inputs feature Schmitt-trigger inputs with 100 ns noise suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 words × 8 bits), organized as 16 pages of 8 bytes each - enables compact firmware parameter storage without external address latching. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz maximum at VCC = 1.8V - ensures reliable timing margin in low-power microcontroller applications. |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; requires polling or timeout handling in host firmware. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - qualifies for long-life industrial deployments where field reprogramming occurs infrequently. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - meets industrial-grade environmental requirements for control modules and automotive body electronics. |
| Input Capacitance | SDA: 8 pF max; SCL/A0–A2: 6 pF max - constrains maximum bus length and pull-up resistor selection for stable I²C signaling. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 is packaged in an 8-lead Miniature Array Package (MAP), 4.90 mm × 3.00 mm body, non-leaded, dual footprint - compatible with space-constrained PCB layouts requiring fine-pitch surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired LSB of 3-bit device address; determines I²C slave address (0x50–0x57) when multiple EEPROMs share a bus. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; must be tied high/low to configure unique I²C address in multi-device systems. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; enables up to eight AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 devices on a single I²C bus. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance to minimize I²C noise coupling. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin to suppress switching transients during write cycles. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: logic high disables all write operations to prevent accidental overwrites during power transitions. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data sampling; open-drain structure requires external pull-up; Schmitt trigger enables robust noise rejection. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line shared across I²C bus; supports wire-OR with other devices; Schmitt trigger improves rise/fall time tolerance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8V operation support | Enables direct integration with ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+, MSP430) without voltage translation circuitry. |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents unintended writes during brown-out, reset, or firmware glitches - critical for preserving factory calibration data. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Reduces susceptibility to EMI-induced false starts/stops on SDA/SCL, improving reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| 8-byte page write mode | Lowers average write latency vs. byte-by-byte writes; allows burst programming of configuration blocks with minimal host CPU overhead. |
| Automotive-grade qualification | Validated for extended temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C) and lead-free/halogen-free compliance - suitable for under-hood and cabin modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-10YU-1.8 | 2-Kbit capacity (256 × 8), same 8-lead MAP package, 400 kHz I²C at ≥2.5V but only 100 kHz at 1.8V. | Supports larger configuration sets; identical pinout and WP functionality - drop-in upgrade if >1K storage needed. | Select when future firmware expansion requires additional parameter space without PCB redesign. |
| M24C01-RMN6TP | 1-Kbit STMicroelectronics EEPROM; 1.7V–5.5V range, 400 kHz at 2.5V+, 100 kHz at 1.7V; SOIC-8 package (not MAP). | Requires layout change due to SOIC-8 footprint; identical endurance/retention specs and WP pin behavior. | Choose only if SOIC-8 is already standardized in production; not pin-compatible with AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8's MAP package. |
Compared with AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8, AT24C02D-10YU-1.8 offers double memory with no footprint change, while M24C01-RMN6TP trades MAP compatibility for broader vendor sourcing - both retain 1.8V operation and hardware write protection but differ in timing headroom and physical integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating at VCC = 1.8V. This is specified in Table 5 of the datasheet under "1.8-volt" AC characteristics. Higher frequencies (up to 400 kHz) require VCC ≥ 2.5V. The 100 kHz limit at 1.8V ensures timing margin for reliable communication in ultra-low-power systems using AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8.
Does AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 supports partial page writes within its 8-byte pages. The device accepts 1–8 bytes per page-write transaction, with automatic internal address incrementing. If more than 8 bytes are sent, the address rolls over to the start of the same page - enabling flexible firmware updates without full-page erasure. This behavior is confirmed in the "Page Write" section of the datasheet.
What package type is used for AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8?
AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 uses an 8-lead Miniature Array Package (MAP), designated as 8Y1 in Microchip's ordering nomenclature. It measures 4.90 mm × 3.00 mm with a non-leaded, dual-footprint design - distinct from SOIC, TSSOP, or PDIP variants. This compact surface-mount package is optimized for high-density PCB layouts where AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 is deployed.
How does the WP pin function on AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8?
On AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8, the WP (Write Protect) pin is active-high: when tied to VCC, it disables all write operations (byte and page) to the entire 1K memory array. When grounded, normal read/write access is enabled. This hardware lock prevents accidental overwrites during power-up/down or firmware errors - a critical safeguard for calibration data stored using AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8.
Is AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 is explicitly marked as automotive grade in the datasheet, with guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C and compliance with lead-free/halogen-free standards. It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components and is approved for use in body electronics, infotainment, and powertrain subsystems where AT24C01AY1-10YI-1.8 provides configuration persistence.
