Product details
Overview
AT24C02-10TI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for ultra-low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supports 100 kHz I²C bus timing at 1.8 V, features hardware write protection via the WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in battery-powered IoT sensors for nonvolatile parameter storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02-10TI-1.8 datasheet, AT24C02-10TI-1.8 pinout, AT24C02-10TI-1.8 application, or AT24C02-10TI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8 V minimum supply compatibility, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), TSSOP-8 packaging, page-write capability (8-byte pages), and I²C address flexibility via A0–A2 pins.
Technical Context
The AT24C02-10TI-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA and SCL inputs. Its internal architecture organizes memory as 32 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring an 8-bit word address for random access and supporting both byte-write and page-write operations.
Write protection is enforced by the dedicated WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks the full 2 Kbit array; tied to GND, full read/write access is enabled. The device enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition receipt or power-up, drawing only 3 µA typical at 1.8 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 words × 8 bits), sufficient for calibration tables or device configuration in compact MCU systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8 V - ensures reliable communication in low-power, noise-sensitive environments |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms maximum - defines minimum interval between successive writes; impacts firmware write-sequence timing |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent field updates in telemetry or logging applications |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term storage integrity without refresh in unpowered devices |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and outdoor sensor nodes |
| Standby Current | 3 µA typical at 1.8 V - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02-10TI-1.8 is supplied in an 8-lead TSSOP package (package code 8T), measuring 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with gull-wing leads and 0.65 mm pitch. This surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired input enabling up to eight AT24C02 devices on one I²C bus; must match external pull-up/down for unique addressing |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Second address bit; combined with A0 and A2, forms 3-bit slave address (1010xxx in binary) |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Third address bit; all three (A0–A2) are hard-wired and determine I²C slave address within 0x50–0x57 range |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and shared with host MCU to prevent I²C communication errors |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power input (1.8–5.5 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling placed ≤2 mm from pin |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: logic high disables all write operations to entire memory array |
| SCL | I²C Clock Input | Open-drain input synchronized to host controller clock; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) |
| SDA | I²C Data I/O | Bi-directional open-drain data line; shares pull-up with SCL; supports multi-master arbitration and clock stretching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8 V operation | Enables direct integration into energy-harvesting and coin-cell–powered systems without voltage translation circuitry |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin provides fail-safe, non-software-dependent memory locking-critical for firmware boot parameters and security keys |
| 8-byte page write | Reduces I²C transaction overhead: up to eight bytes written per stop condition, improving throughput vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Ensures robust noise immunity on SDA/SCL lines in electrically noisy industrial environments (e.g., motor drives, PLCs) |
| Industrial temperature grade | Validated operation across −40°C to +85°C supports deployment in under-hood automotive modules and factory-floor controllers |
| 100-year data retention | Eliminates need for periodic refresh or backup power in maintenance-free deployments such as smart meters and medical implants |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M24C02-RMN6TP | STMicroelectronics 2 Kbit EEPROM; identical 1.8–5.5 V range and TSSOP-8 package, but rated for 400 kHz at 1.8 V (vs. 100 kHz for AT24C02-10TI-1.8) | Supports higher-speed I²C in systems where bus bandwidth is constrained | Select when faster write throughput is required and host MCU supports 400 kHz timing margins |
| BR24G02NUX-1GE2 | Rohm 2 Kbit EEPROM; same voltage range and TSSOP-8, but offers 1.7 V minimum operation and built-in write-cycle endurance counter | Better suited for sub-1.8 V brown-out scenarios and predictive wear-leveling diagnostics | Choose for next-generation designs targeting extended low-voltage margin or lifetime monitoring |
Compared with M24C02-RMN6TP and BR24G02NUX-1GE2, the AT24C02-10TI-1.8 prioritizes proven industrial reliability and broad ecosystem support over marginal speed or voltage advantages-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial and automotive Tier 2 applications where design-in stability is paramount.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for AT24C02-10TI-1.8?
The AT24C02-10TI-1.8 operates down to 1.8 V, as confirmed by its ordering suffix "-1.8" and the Absolute Maximum Ratings table specifying VCC = 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Below 1.8 V, the device does not guarantee functional operation or reliable write cycles, and the internal voltage regulator may fail to stabilize.
Does AT24C02-10TI-1.8 support 400 kHz I²C communication?
No - AT24C02-10TI-1.8 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating at 1.8 V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table. While higher-voltage variants (e.g., AT24C02-10TI) support 400 kHz at 5 V, the -1.8 version is characterized and guaranteed only for 100 kHz at its minimum supply voltage.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C02-10TI-1.8?
Up to eight AT24C02-10TI-1.8 devices can coexist on a single I²C bus. This is enabled by the three hardware address pins (A0, A1, A2), each configurable as high or low, yielding 2³ = 8 unique 7-bit slave addresses in the 0x50–0x57 range per the Device Addressing section.
What is the function of the WP pin on AT24C02-10TI-1.8?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C02-10TI-1.8 is an active-high hardware enable for memory write blocking. When pulled to VCC, it disables all write operations to the full 2 Kbit array; when grounded, full read/write access is permitted. This provides deterministic, non-software-dependent data integrity.
Is AT24C02-10TI-1.8 qualified for automotive applications?
AT24C02-10TI-1.8 is rated for industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and is widely deployed in automotive body electronics (e.g., seat modules, lighting controls), but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For full automotive qualification, Microchip offers the AT24C02C-SSHM-T variant, which carries explicit AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification.
