Product details
Overview
AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with 256 × 8-bit organization, 2.7V to 5.5V supply operation, 400 kHz max clock rate at 2.7V, hardware write protection via WP pin, and automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based sensor nodes and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 datasheet, AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 pinout, AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 application, or AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-byte page write capability, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs, 1 million write endurance, 100-year data retention, and TSSOP-8 green package compliance.
Technical Context
The AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 implements a two-wire I²C interface with bidirectional open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) timing. Its internal address counter enables current-address and sequential reads without retransmitting the word address.
Hardware write protection is enforced by the WP pin: tied to VCC, it locks the upper 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 for host synchronization.

Pinout & Package
AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP-8, JEDEC MO-153 AA), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Hardwired device address inputs | Enable up to eight AT24C02A devices on one I²C bus; A0–A2 must be externally tied to VCC or GND |
| SDA | Serial data line | Bidirectional open-drain I/O; requires external pull-up resistor; supports wire-OR with other I²C devices |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Positive-edge sampled clock input; controls timing of all data transfers |
| WP | Write protect control | Hardware-enforced lock: VCC = upper 1K-bit protected; GND = full read/write access |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.7V to 5.5V main supply; powers internal logic and memory array |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and supply current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-wire I²C interface | Reduces PCB routing complexity vs. SPI; shares bus with sensors, ADCs, and other peripherals |
| Schmitt-trigger, filtered inputs | Rejects high-frequency noise on SCL/SDA lines-critical in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| 8-byte page write mode | Minimizes I²C transaction overhead: up to 8 bytes written per stop condition, improving write throughput |
| Self-timed 5 ms max write cycle | Eliminates need for host wait-state polling; allows host to perform other tasks during write execution |
| Automotive-grade qualification | Validated for extended temperature and humidity stress-meets AEC-Q100 Class 2 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C02-RMN6TP | Same 2 Kbit size, I²C interface, and TSSOP-8 package; 1.7V–5.5V supply; 400 kHz max clock; 1M write cycles | Qualified to industrial temp (−40°C to +85°C); lacks explicit automotive qualification documentation | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C02HU4I-GT3 | 2 Kbit, I²C, TSSOP-8; 1.7V–5.5V; 400 kHz; 1M write cycles; integrated 4 kΩ pull-up on SDA/SCL | Includes internal pull-ups-reduces BOM count but limits bus capacitance headroom | Best for space-constrained designs where external pull-ups cannot be accommodated |
Compared with AT24C02A-10TU-2.7, the M24C02-RMN6TP offers identical functionality without automotive validation, while the CAT24C02HU4I-GT3 trades external component count for reduced I²C bus flexibility-both require layout review for signal integrity if replacing AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 in existing designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7?
The AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency when operated at VCC = 2.7V, 2.5V, or 5.0V. At 1.8V operation (not applicable to this -2.7 variant), the maximum is 100 kHz. This fast-mode capability reduces write latency compared to standard-mode-only EEPROMs and aligns with modern MCU I²C peripherals.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7?
On the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7, the WP pin provides hardware-level write protection: when pulled to VCC, it locks the upper 1K-bit half of the memory array; when grounded, full read/write access is enabled. This prevents accidental overwrites of critical calibration or configuration data during system operation or firmware updates.
What package type is used for the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7?
The AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 uses an 8-lead TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153 AA, body code 8A2), measuring 4.4 mm × 3.0 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. It is lead-free and halogen-free, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, and optimized for automated surface-mount assembly.
Does the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 support page write operations?
Yes, the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 supports 8-byte page write mode, allowing up to eight consecutive bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction. This improves write efficiency versus byte-by-byte writes and reduces bus arbitration overhead-particularly valuable in time-sensitive embedded applications.
What is the data retention specification for the AT24C02A-10TU-2.7?
The AT24C02A-10TU-2.7 guarantees 100 years of data retention at +25°C ambient temperature. Retention degrades predictably with elevated temperature per JEDEC JESD22-A117; at +85°C, retention remains >10 years. This ensures long-term reliability in infrastructure and medical equipment with multi-decade service life.
