Product details
Overview
AT24C01BN-SH-T 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 8-lead SOIC (8S1) package with NiPdAu lead finish. It delivers nonvolatile data storage for embedded control, sensor calibration, and configuration retention in industrial and consumer systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01BN-SH-T datasheet, AT24C01BN-SH-T pinout, AT24C01BN-SH-T application, or AT24C01BN-SH-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V low-voltage compatibility, 1 million write cycles endurance, 100-year data retention, page-write capability, and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune SDA/SCL inputs.
Technical Context
The AT24C01BN-SH-T implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with addressable device addressing (A0–A2), bidirectional SDA line, and synchronous SCL clock. Its internal architecture includes a 128-word × 8-bit EEPROM array, serial control logic, high-voltage pump for write operations, and automatic self-timed write cycle completion (≤5 ms).
It supports partial and full page writes (8-byte pages), features input filtering and Schmitt-trigger inputs for robustness in noisy environments, and uses hardware-based write protection via the dedicated WP pin - active when pulled high - to prevent accidental overwrites of memory contents.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), enabling compact configuration storage without external address latches |
| Interface | Two-wire I²C (SCL/SDA), compatible with standard microcontroller I²C peripherals and bus arbitration |
| Write Speed | Max 1 MHz at 5V; 400 kHz at 1.8V/2.5V/2.7V - ensures timing compliance across voltage scaling |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles per byte - supports frequent recalibration or logging in field-deployed devices |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration, serial numbers, or firmware flags |
| Supply Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - interoperable with 1.8V logic, 3.3V MCU domains, and legacy 5V systems |
| Write Protection | Hardware WP pin - enables irreversible lock of memory regions during power-up or runtime |
Pinout & Package
AT24C01BN-SH-T is packaged in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1), 0.150" wide, with NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device Address Inputs | Enable up to eight AT24C01BN-SH-T devices on same I²C bus via hardwired binary address |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line requiring external pull-up; carries address, command, and data |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all I²C transactions; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Active-high signal disabling all write operations when asserted - prevents corruption during brown-out |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and all I/O; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce during writes |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.8–5.5V); decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable write-cycle voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional down to 1.8V - enables direct interfacing with ultra-low-power MCUs and battery-backed systems |
| Noise-Immune Inputs | Schmitt-trigger + RC filtering on SDA/SCL - eliminates false clock/data transitions in EMI-prone industrial enclosures |
| Page Write Mode | 8-byte burst writes reduce I²C transaction overhead and total write time vs. byte-by-byte programming |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle | Internal timing eliminates need for host polling or fixed delays - simplifies firmware implementation |
| Lead-Free/Halogen-Free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C - suitable for green manufacturing and export |

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 capacity, 1.8–5.5V, 400 kHz I²C; different SOIC pinout (pin 1 = VCC, not A0) | Requires PCB layout revision due to swapped VCC/A0 positions; no WP pin - software-only write protection | Select only if redesigning board and accepting loss of hardware-level write lock |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C01HU4I-GT3 | Identical 1K-bit, 1.8–5.5V, 400 kHz I²C; same 8-lead SOIC package and pinout; WP pin present | Drop-in replacement with identical footprint, timing, and functional behavior; qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 | Preferred for automotive-grade designs requiring extended reliability validation |
Compared with AT24C01BN-SH-T, M24C01-RMN6TP lacks hardware write protection and requires layout changes, while CAT24C01HU4I-GT3 offers identical functionality plus AEC-Q100 qualification - making it ideal for automotive BOMs where qualification traceability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the AT24C01BN-SH-T?
The AT24C01BN-SH-T operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supporting single-supply integration across 1.8V logic families, 3.3V microcontrollers, and legacy 5V systems. This wide range eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-voltage designs and ensures compatibility with battery-powered devices down to coin-cell voltages.
Does the AT24C01BN-SH-T support page writes, and what is the page size?
Yes, the AT24C01BN-SH-T supports 8-byte page writes, allowing up to eight sequential bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction. This reduces bus overhead and total programming time compared to byte-wise writes, improving efficiency in firmware update or calibration data loading sequences.
How does the WP pin function on the AT24C01BN-SH-T?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on the AT24C01BN-SH-T is an active-high input that disables all write operations - including byte, page, and erase commands - when driven high. This hardware lock prevents accidental or malicious overwrites during power transitions, brown-out conditions, or firmware faults, ensuring memory integrity without software intervention.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C01BN-SH-T at different supply voltages?
The AT24C01BN-SH-T supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency at VCC = 5.0V, and 400 kHz at VCC = 1.8V, 2.5V, or 2.7V. These speed grades are guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), enabling optimized throughput based on system voltage and noise environment.
Is the AT24C01BN-SH-T qualified for automotive applications?
The AT24C01BN-SH-T itself is rated for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and RoHS compliance but is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use cases, Microchip recommends the pin-compatible CAT24C01HU4I-GT3 (ON Semiconductor) or AT24C01C-SSHM-T (Microchip's AEC-Q100 Grade 3 variant), both validated for under-hood and body-control module environments.
