Product details
Overview
AT24C02-10PU-2.7 from Microchip Technology is a 2-Kbit (256 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 2.7V to 5.5V supply operation, 400 kHz I²C interface speed at 2.7V+, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It is used in embedded systems for storing calibration data, configuration settings, and device identifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02-10PU-2.7 datasheet, AT24C02-10PU-2.7 pinout, AT24C02-10PU-2.7 application, or AT24C02-10PU-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage range compatibility (2.7–5.5 V), page write capability (8-byte pages), endurance (1 million cycles), data retention (100 years), and JEDEC SOIC-8 packaging with RoHS-compliant green finish.
Technical Context
The AT24C02-10PU-2.7 implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with open-drain SDA and active-high SCL, supporting both byte and page write modes. Its internal address counter enables sequential reads across memory boundaries, and the WP pin provides hardware-level write lock for critical sectors.
It uses hard-wired A0–A2 pins for device addressing-allowing up to eight devices on a single bus-and features built-in noise suppression via Schmitt-trigger inputs and input filtering. The device operates across industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and supports self-timed write cycles with 5 ms maximum duration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 words × 8 bits), organized as 32 pages of 8 bytes each |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 400 kHz at VCC ≥ 2.7 V - supports high-speed configuration updates in real-time systems |
| Write Cycle Time | Max 5 ms - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; impacts firmware retry logic design |
| Endurance | 1 million write/erase cycles - ensures long-term reliability in field-updatable applications like metering or sensor calibration |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity over product lifetime without refresh |

Pinout & Package
AT24C02-10PU-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), measuring 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant green finish ("U" suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables multi-device I²C bus configuration (up to 8 units) |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; must match external pull-up/pull-down to select unique I²C slave address |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines position within 0x50–0x57 I²C address range |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary DC supply input (2.7–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended within 10 mm |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables full read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for I²C transactions; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; shares pull-up with other I²C devices; supports wire-OR topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-wire Serial Interface | Fully compliant with Philips I²C protocol, enabling simple integration with MCU I²C peripherals and reducing PCB routing complexity |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Input hysteresis on SCL/SDA improves noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial environments (e.g., motor drives, PLCs) |
| 8-byte Page Write Mode | Allows burst programming of up to 8 bytes per transaction, reducing total write time by ~7× vs. individual byte writes |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin enables system-level control over EEPROM modification - critical for safeguarding bootloaders or security keys |
| Low Standby Current | 1.6 µA max at 2.7 V - minimizes power draw in battery-backed or always-on IoT edge nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | Same 2 Kbit capacity and SOIC-8 package, but rated for 1.7–5.5 V operation and features enhanced ESD protection (4 kV HBM). | Supports lower-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., 1.8 V I/O domains) and harsher ESD environments (e.g., handheld medical tools). | Select when operating below 2.7 V or requiring higher robustness against electrostatic discharge in final assembly. |
| BR24G02-3MNUX | Rohm's 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM in same SOIC-8 package; supports 1.6–5.5 V, 1 MHz max clock, and 4 ms write cycle. | Offers faster write performance and broader voltage range, but lacks A0–A2 address pins - limited to single-device I²C buses. | Choose for simplified layout where only one EEPROM is needed and higher speed or ultra-low-voltage support is prioritized. |
Compared with AT24C02-10PU-2.7, AT24C02D-SSHM-T extends voltage flexibility and ESD resilience, while BR24G02-3MNUX trades device-addressing capability for faster writes and lower minimum supply - guiding selection based on bus topology, voltage margin, and environmental stress requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C02-10PU-2.7?
The AT24C02-10PU-2.7 supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at VCC ≥ 2.7 V. At lower voltages (e.g., 1.8 V), the maximum clock rate drops to 100 kHz. This specification is defined in the AC Characteristics table of the official datasheet and directly affects firmware timing margins and throughput in configuration-heavy applications.
Does AT24C02-10PU-2.7 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C02-10PU-2.7 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed requirements. Failure to install pull-ups will prevent proper I²C communication and result in bus lockup or NACK responses.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C02-10PU-2.7?
Up to eight AT24C02-10PU-2.7 devices can coexist on a single I²C bus using the A0, A1, and A2 address pins to configure unique 3-bit device addresses (0x50–0x57). Each pin must be hard-wired to VCC or GND; floating connections are not permitted and may cause address ambiguity or communication failure.
What is the purpose of the WP pin on AT24C02-10PU-2.7?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C02-10PU-2.7 provides hardware-level write inhibition. When pulled high to VCC, it disables all write operations-including byte, page, and erase commands-while allowing unrestricted reads. This feature safeguards critical calibration or security data from accidental or malicious overwrite during system operation or firmware updates.
Is AT24C02-10PU-2.7 suitable for automotive applications?
AT24C02-10PU-2.7 is qualified for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and meets RoHS requirements, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive body electronics where qualification is mandatory, Microchip recommends the AT24C02B variant. Engineers should verify functional equivalence and qualification status before deployment in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
