Product details
Overview
AT24C01BN-SH-B from Microchip Technology is a 1K-bit (128 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 1.8V to 5.5V operation, 400 kHz/1 MHz I²C interface speed, hardware write protection via WP pin, and 1 million write cycles endurance. It is used in industrial sensor calibration storage, embedded system configuration retention, and power-fail-safe parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01BN-SH-B datasheet, AT24C01BN-SH-B pinout, AT24C01BN-SH-B application, or AT24C01BN-SH-B equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC voltage range compatibility, SCL clock frequency support at 1.8V/5V, WP pin functionality for hardware-level data lock, page write timing (5 ms max), and SOIC-8 package mechanical fit.
Technical Context
The AT24C01BN-SH-B implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SCL and SDA inputs. Addressing uses three hardware-configurable pins (A0–A2), enabling up to eight devices on one bus. Internal logic includes auto-incrementing address counter and self-timed write cycle control.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply current as low as 0.6 µA standby (VCC = 1.8V) and supports partial page writes within its 8-byte page boundary. Data retention is guaranteed for 100 years under specified conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 words × 8 bits); sufficient for small firmware flags, calibration coefficients, or device ID storage |
| Interface | Two-wire I²C-compatible; requires only SCL and SDA lines plus pull-ups - minimal GPIO overhead |
| Write Speed | Max 5 ms per byte/page write; enables deterministic timeout handling in host firmware |
| Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V; interoperable with 1.8V logic systems and legacy 5V microcontrollers |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles; supports frequent recalibration or logging in field-deployed equipment |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C; ensures long-term reliability without battery-backed SRAM |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01BN-SH-B is packaged in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (package code 8S1), 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device Address Inputs | Hardware-selectable I²C slave address (up to 8 devices on same bus) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line; requires external pull-up; carries address, command, and data |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity in noisy industrial settings |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Active-high hardware lock: disables all write operations when driven high |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance for stable I²C signaling |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.8–5.5V); no separate logic or core voltage required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-triggered inputs | Enables robust operation in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor drives, PLCs) without external filtering |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces total write time vs. byte-by-byte writes; allows burst programming of calibration tables |
| Self-timed internal write cycle | Eliminates need for host-controlled write delay; simplifies firmware with ACK polling or fixed timeout |
| Lead-free/halogen-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C; suitable for global industrial shipments |
| Low standby current (0.6 µA @ 1.8V) | Extends battery life in portable or energy-harvesting applications where EEPROM remains powered |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration | Embedded Configuration Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing factory-trimmed offset/gain values for temperature, pressure, or current sensors in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile parameter register accessed during power-on initialization via I²C.

Use Value: Meets FDA guidance on data integrity (21 CFR Part 11) through WP pin-based locking and 100-year retention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C01-RMN6TP | Same 1K-bit size, SOIC-8, 1.8–5.5V, but rated for –40°C to +105°C; slightly higher ISB (1.5 µA @ 1.8V) | Preferred for extended temperature automotive body electronics where >85°C ambient occurs | Select if operating above +85°C is required; otherwise AT24C01BN-SH-B offers tighter ISB and Microchip's long-term supply commitment |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C01HU4IGT3 | Identical 1K-bit, SOIC-8, 1.8–5.5V, but uses different internal ECC scheme; WP pin functionally identical | Valid drop-in alternative where second-source qualification is mandated by procurement policy | Choose when dual-sourcing is contractually required; pinout, timing, and software interface are fully compatible |
Compared with M24C01-RMN6TP and CAT24C01HU4IGT3, the AT24C01BN-SH-B provides lower standby current at 1.8V and is optimized for industrial-grade longevity (1M cycles, 100-year retention), while maintaining full I²C protocol compliance and SOIC-8 footprint compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01BN-SH-B at 1.8V?
The AT24C01BN-SH-B supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 1.8V, 2.5V, or 2.7V. At 5.0V, it supports up to 1 MHz. These values are specified in the AC Characteristics table and validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). The AT24C01BN-SH-B maintains reliable communication within these limits without requiring external clock dividers or protocol adaptation.
Does AT24C01BN-SH-B require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C01BN-SH-B requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I/O pins are open-drain. Typical values range from 1.8 kΩ (for 1 MHz at 5V) to 10 kΩ (for 400 kHz at 1.8V), depending on bus capacitance and speed. The AT24C01BN-SH-B datasheet specifies maximum bus capacitance (400 pF) and rise/fall time constraints that guide resistor selection.
How does the WP pin function on AT24C01BN-SH-B?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C01BN-SH-B is an active-high hardware lock: when pulled high (≥0.7×VCC), it disables all write operations including byte, page, and write-enable instructions. When low or floating (with internal pull-down), writes are permitted. This feature allows permanent or conditional protection of stored data without firmware intervention - a critical safety mechanism in the AT24C01BN-SH-B for mission-critical configuration storage.
What package type is used for AT24C01BN-SH-B?
AT24C01BN-SH-B uses an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide, with NiPdAu lead finish. Its dimensions conform to MS-012, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and 3.9 mm body width. This package is compatible with standard SOIC-8 footprints and reflow profiles, and is distinct from TSSOP, MLP, or dBGA2 variants in the same AT24C01B family.
Is AT24C01BN-SH-B suitable for automotive applications?
The AT24C01BN-SH-B is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it may function in some automotive cabin or body applications, Microchip does not certify AT24C01BN-SH-B for under-hood or safety-critical automotive use. For such roles, engineers should select AEC-Q100–qualified alternatives like the AT24C01C-SSHM-T. The AT24C01BN-SH-B is intended for industrial, commercial, and consumer systems meeting IEC 61000-4-x immunity standards.
