Product details
Overview
AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Kbit (256 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply operation, 100 kHz clock rate at 1.8 V, 8-byte page write capability, and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and is packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP for space-constrained industrial control and sensor calibration applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T datasheet, AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T pinout, AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T application, or AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T equivalent, this device delivers low-voltage nonvolatile storage with Schmitt-trigger inputs, noise-suppressed I²C interface, and automotive-grade reliability-key for embedded systems requiring robust parameter retention under brownout conditions.
Technical Context
The AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with SDA as open-drain bidirectional data line and SCL as edge-triggered clock input. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random-address, and sequential read modes, with automatic word-address rollover within pages.
Write protection is enforced by the WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks the upper half (1K-bit) array; tied to GND, full read/write access is enabled. The device uses internally timed 5 ms max write cycles and supports acknowledge polling to detect write completion without fixed delays.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 1.8 V supply - eliminates level-shifting in battery-powered or ultra-low-power nodes |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | On SCL/SDA/A0–A2 - rejects noise spikes up to 100 ns, enhancing bus reliability in EMI-prone environments |
| Partial page writes | Allows writing fewer than 8 bytes per page - avoids overwriting valid data during partial configuration updates |
| Self-timed write cycle | Max 5 ms internal erase/write - removes need for software delay loops; status verified via ACK polling |
| Automotive-grade qualification | −40°C to +85°C extended temp range + lead-free/halogen-free packaging - meets AEC-Q200 stress requirements |

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 2K capacity, 1.7–5.5 V range, but uses 8-lead SOIC (8S1) package and lacks WP pin | No hardware write protection; requires software-based lock mechanisms | Select when board layout already uses SOIC footprint and WP functionality is managed externally |
| M24C02-RMN6TP | 2K I²C EEPROM from STMicroelectronics; 1.8–5.5 V, 400 kHz max clock, 8-lead TSSOP, WP pin included | Higher clock rate (400 kHz) at ≥2.5 V, but 100 kHz guaranteed only down to 2.5 V-not 1.8 V | Choose when system operates ≥2.5 V and faster write throughput is prioritized over 1.8 V compatibility |
Compared with AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T, AT24C02D-SSHM-T sacrifices hardware write protection for broader voltage tolerance and SOIC compatibility, while M24C02-RMN6TP trades guaranteed 1.8 V operation for higher speed above 2.5 V-making AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T uniquely suited for true 1.8 V–only or mixed-voltage brownout-resilient designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T?
The AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T is specified for reliable operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it supports 100 kHz I²C clocking, 0.6 µA standby current, and full read/write functionality-including page writes and WP pin control. Operation below 1.8 V is not characterized or guaranteed.
Does the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T support I²C fast-mode (400 kHz) operation?
No-the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T supports 100 kHz maximum clock frequency when operated at 1.8 V. Fast-mode (400 kHz) is only guaranteed for versions rated for 2.5 V, 2.7 V, or 5 V operation (e.g., AT24C02A-10TI-2.7-T). Using 400 kHz at 1.8 V violates AC timing specifications and may cause communication failures.
How does the WP pin function on the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T?
When the WP pin is tied to VCC, the upper half (1024 bits) of the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T's memory array is write-protected; only the lower half remains writable. When WP is tied to GND, full read/write access is enabled. This hardware lock operates independently of I²C commands and persists across power cycles.
Can the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T be used in automotive applications?
Yes-the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T is explicitly qualified for automotive-grade use: it meets −40°C to +85°C extended temperature range, is lead-free/halogen-free, and carries industrial/automotive reliability certifications. However, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified out-of-box; system-level validation is required for safety-critical functions.
What package type is used for the AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T?
The AT24C02A-10TI-1.8-T uses an 8-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), designated as 8A2 per Microchip's ordering guide. It measures 4.4 mm × 3.0 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
