Product details
Overview
AT24C01C-MAPD-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1-kilobit (128 × 8) automotive-grade serial EEPROM with I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V (Grade 1), rated for -40°C to +125°C, and packaged in an 8-pad UDFN (2.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch). It delivers hardware write protection via the WP pin, 400 kHz clock support at 2.5V, and 8-byte page write capability - used for parameter storage in engine control units, airbag modules, and ADAS sensor calibration.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01C-MAPD-T datasheet, AT24C01C-MAPD-T pinout, AT24C01C-MAPD-T application, or AT24C01C-MAPD-T equivalent, key selection criteria include Grade 1 automotive qualification, UDFN-8 package footprint compatibility, 1Kbit density with page-write efficiency, and I²C timing compliance under extended temperature and low-voltage conditions.
Technical Context
The AT24C01C-MAPD-T implements a fully synchronous I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SCL/SDA inputs and open-drain SDA output. Its internal architecture includes a 7-bit word address counter, page-addressable memory array organized as 16 pages × 8 bytes, and a high-voltage pump for EEPROM cell programming.
Write operations are self-timed (≤5 ms max), supported by acknowledge polling; read modes include current-address, random-address, and sequential reads. The device features hardware write protection via the WP pin, which disables all writes when pulled high, and supports up to 1,000,000 write cycles with 100-year data retention.

Pinout & Package
AT24C01C-MAPD-T is housed in an 8-pad Ultra Thin Dual No-Lead (UDFN) package (JEDEC MO-229, variant 8MA2), measuring 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit enabling up to eight 1K/2K devices on one I²C bus; tied to GND or VCC per system topology. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Second hardwired address bit; used with A0 and A2 to configure unique 7-bit I²C slave address (1010 A2 A1 A0 R/W). |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Third hardwired address bit; determines device selectability in multi-EEPROM systems - essential for modular ECU designs. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance and decoupled near the UDFN thermal pad. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.5–5.5V supply powering logic and EEPROM array; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC to disable all writes (full-array protection), or GND for normal read/write operation. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock (max 400 kHz); Schmitt-triggered and filtered to reject EMI in noisy automotive environments. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line shared across I²C bus; requires external pull-up (1.3 kΩ @ 2.5V) and supports wire-OR with other slaves. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Grade 1 Qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified for -40°C to +125°C operation - eliminates need for derating or additional thermal margining in powertrain applications. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides fail-safe, zero-software-overhead data lock - critical for preserving safety-critical calibration data during firmware updates or brown-out events. |
| 8-byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst writes of up to 8 bytes per transaction, reducing I²C bus occupancy by >70% vs. byte-wise writes - improves real-time responsiveness in time-sensitive ECUs. |
| Low Standby Current | Max 6.0 µA at 5.0V and 125°C - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on modules such as telematics gateways or battery monitoring units. |
| Noise-Immune Inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with 50 ns noise suppression - prevents spurious clock/data transitions caused by coupled transients on 12V harnesses or ignition systems. |

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 1Kbit density, SO8 package (not UDFN); operates 1.7–5.5V (Grade 3, -40°C to +85°C); lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. | Targeted at industrial or consumer applications; unsuitable for under-hood or powertrain use due to limited temperature range. | Select only if Grade 1 qualification is unnecessary and SOIC footprint is preferred over UDFN. |
| Rohm BR24G01FJ-3GE2 | 1Kbit, UDFN-8 (2.0 × 2.5 mm), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C); 1.7–5.5V supply; supports 1 MHz I²C at 5V. | Higher speed but lower max temperature rating; not qualified for 125°C environments like transmission control units. | Prefer when 105°C operation suffices and higher I²C bandwidth is needed; verify thermal derating for 125°C zones. |
Compared with M24C01-RMN6TP and BR24G01FJ-3GE2, the AT24C01C-MAPD-T uniquely combines UDFN-8 packaging, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and guaranteed 2.5V minimum operation - making it the only option qualified for direct integration into high-temperature automotive subsystems without thermal or voltage margining.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C01C-MAPD-T?
The AT24C01C-MAPD-T supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency at VCC = 2.5V, and maintains full AC timing compliance across its entire operating range (-40°C to +125°C, 2.5V to 5.5V). This allows direct interface with standard microcontroller I²C peripherals without clock stretching or protocol adaptation. The AT24C01C-MAPD-T does not support 1 MHz operation - that capability is reserved for later-generation devices like the AT24CS series.
Does the AT24C01C-MAPD-T require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the AT24C01C-MAPD-T requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is a Schmitt-triggered input without internal pull-ups. Recommended values are 1.3 kΩ for 2.5V operation and 10 kΩ for 1.7V operation, per the datasheet's AC measurement conditions. The AT24C01C-MAPD-T will not function correctly on an I²C bus without properly sized external pull-ups.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C01C-MAPD-T?
When the WP pin of the AT24C01C-MAPD-T is driven high (to VCC), all write operations - including byte, page, and erase - are disabled across the entire memory array. When WP is low (GND), normal read and write operations proceed. This hardware-level protection operates independently of I²C commands and remains active during power transitions, ensuring calibration data cannot be overwritten during firmware updates or brown-out conditions. The AT24C01C-MAPD-T does not support partial-array write protection.
What is the memory organization of the AT24C01C-MAPD-T?
The AT24C01C-MAPD-T contains 1,024 bits organized as 128 words of 8 bits each, internally segmented into 16 pages of 8 bytes. It uses a 7-bit word address for random access, and supports both byte-write and 8-byte page-write modes. Page boundaries are fixed at 8-byte intervals, and page writes automatically wrap within the same page - meaning writing beyond byte 7 of a page overwrites byte 0. This structure is explicitly defined for the AT24C01C-MAPD-T in the memory organization section of the datasheet.
Is the AT24C01C-MAPD-T compatible with standard I²C protocol stacks?
Yes, the AT24C01C-MAPD-T is fully compliant with the standard Phillips I²C-bus specification, including Start/Stop condition generation, 7-bit slave addressing (1010 A2 A1 A0 R/W), ACK/NACK handshaking, and repeated Start support. It requires no custom drivers and integrates seamlessly with off-the-shelf I²C software libraries used in AUTOSAR MCAL, FreeRTOS, or bare-metal firmware. All timing parameters (tLOW, tHIGH, tSU.STA, etc.) meet I²C Fast-mode specifications at 400 kHz, confirming interoperability with standard I²C masters.
