Product details
Overview
AT24C01C-SSHM-B from Microchip Technology is a 1-Kbit (128 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with low-voltage operation (1.7V to 5.5V), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz) I²C speeds and delivers ultra-low standby current (6 μA max) for battery-powered sensor nodes and embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C01C-SSHM-B datasheet, AT24C01C-SSHM-B pinout, AT24C01C-SSHM-B application, or AT24C01C-SSHM-B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SOIC package, 1.7V minimum VCC, 5 ms max write cycle time, page-write capability, and hardware address inputs (A0–A2) enabling up to eight devices on one I²C bus.
Technical Context
The AT24C01C-SSHM-B operates as an I²C slave device with bidirectional SDA and unidirectional SCL interfaces, incorporating Schmitt triggers and input filtering for noise immunity. Its internal architecture includes a 128-word × 8-bit EEPROM array, address register/counter, hardware address comparator, and high-voltage generation circuit for write operations.
It implements standard I²C protocol timing-including Start/Stop detection, ACK/NACK handshaking, and clock stretching during internal writes-and features Power-on Reset (POR) with 100 µs tPUP delay and VPOR threshold of 1.5 V to prevent spurious writes during power-up.

Pinout & Package
AT24C01C-SSHM-B is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150 mil width), with pins arranged in dual-in-line configuration and surface-mount compatible footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Hardware device address input | Configures LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address; tied low or high to enable up to eight devices on same bus |
| A1 | Hardware device address input | Configures middle bit of slave address; must be externally biased-internally pulled down if floating |
| A2 | Hardware device address input | Configures MSB of slave address; same biasing requirement as A0/A1 for deterministic addressing |
| GND | Ground reference | System return path for VCC and signal logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O | Open-drain line requiring external pull-up (≤10 kΩ); shared across multiple I²C slaves on same bus |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches input, falling edge outputs data; also requires pull-up |
| WP | Write-protect control | Hardwired to GND for full write access; tied to VCC to disable all memory writes-critical for firmware-safe boot configurations |
| VCC | Power supply input | Supplies core logic and EEPROM programming voltage; must ramp monotonically at ≤0.1 V/µs for reliable POR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page write mode (8-byte) | Enables burst writes within single page boundary-reduces I²C transaction overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Rejects fast transients and EMI-induced glitches on SCL/SDA-improves robustness in electrically noisy motor-control environments |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents accidental overwrites during firmware updates or brown-out conditions-no software dependency required |
| Ultra-low standby current (6 μA) | Minimizes quiescent drain in always-on IoT edge nodes powered by coin cells or energy harvesters |
| ESD protection >4 kV | Withstands HBM-level electrostatic discharge during board assembly and field handling-reduces test yield loss |

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C01C-SSHM-B?
The AT24C01C-SSHM-B supports three I²C speed modes: Standard mode up to 100 kHz (1.7V–5.5V), Fast mode up to 400 kHz (1.7V–5.5V), and Fast Mode Plus up to 1 MHz (2.5V–5.5V). The 1 MHz mode requires VCC ≥ 2.5 V and is not guaranteed below that voltage. All timing complies with NXP I²C-bus specification Rev. 6.
Does AT24C01C-SSHM-B require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C01C-SSHM-B requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is a CMOS input. Microchip specifies maximum pull-up values of 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 4 kΩ for 400 kHz, and 1.3 kΩ for 1 MHz operation-values chosen to meet rise-time requirements under specified bus capacitance (≤100 pF).
How does the Write-Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C01C-SSHM-B?
When the WP pin of AT24C01C-SSHM-B is driven to VCC, all write operations-including byte, page, and erase-are inhibited. When WP is at GND, normal write functionality is enabled. If left floating, WP is internally pulled down to GND, but Microchip recommends hardwiring it to avoid noise-induced false protection activation in noisy environments.
Can AT24C01C-SSHM-B operate reliably at 1.7 V supply voltage?
Yes, AT24C01C-SSHM-B is fully specified for operation at 1.7 V, including all DC and AC parameters: 100 kHz I²C communication, 6 μA max standby current, and valid read/write functionality. However, 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus is not supported below 2.5 V, and tWR remains ≤5 ms across the full 1.7–5.5 V range per DS20006111A.
What is the memory organization of AT24C01C-SSHM-B?
AT24C01C-SSHM-B contains 1,024 bits organized as 128 words × 8 bits. Internally, it is structured as 16 pages of 8 bytes each, supporting both byte-write and page-write operations. The page boundary is fixed at 8-byte alignment, and partial page writes are permitted-enabling efficient updates of sub-page data without erasing adjacent bytes.
