Product details
Overview
AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2K-bit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for ultra-low-voltage embedded systems. It operates across 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz I²C communication at 1.8V, features hardware write protection via the WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 datasheet, AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 pinout, AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 application, or AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V minimum supply compatibility, 8-pin SOIC (8S1) package footprint, page-write capability (8-byte pages), Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on SDA/SCL, and industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) temperature rating confirmed in ordering code suffix "I" variants.
Technical Context
The AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA and SCL pins, requiring external pull-ups. Its internal address counter enables current-address and sequential reads, while device addressing uses hardwired A0–A2 pins to support up to eight devices on one bus.
Write operations are internally timed (max 10 ms), during which all inputs are disabled; acknowledge polling allows host firmware to detect write completion. The WP pin provides hardware-level write protection - tied to VCC to lock the upper 1K-bit array, or grounded for full read/write access.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2048 bits (256 words × 8 bits), organized as 256 × 8 for byte-level random access |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families without level shifters |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz maximum at 1.8V - ensures reliable timing margin under low-VDD conditions |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤10 ms - defines minimum delay between write commands; impacts firmware polling interval |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 write cycles - supports frequent configuration updates in field-deployed equipment |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term storage of calibration data or device identity |
| Standby Current | 3 µA max at 1.8V - critical for multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 is housed in an 8-pin JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide, with standard gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables up to 8 devices on same I²C bus |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; must match PCB trace connection for correct bus arbitration |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines unique I²C slave address (0x50–0x57) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) mandatory near pin for noise suppression |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: VCC = protect upper 1K-bit; GND = full read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Open-drain input synchronized to host MCU clock; requires external pull-up resistor |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line shared across I²C bus; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8V operation support | Guaranteed functionality down to 1.8V VCC - eliminates need for voltage translators in 1.8V SoC designs |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enhanced noise immunity on SDA/SCL lines - prevents false clock/data transitions in electrically noisy environments |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin enables selective locking of upper memory block - prevents accidental firmware corruption during field updates |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces I²C transaction overhead vs. byte writes - cuts write time by up to 8× for contiguous data blocks |
| Industrial temperature range | -40°C to +85°C operation - validated for use in automotive body control modules and industrial PLCs |

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 2K I²C EEPROM; 1.7V–5.5V range; 400 kHz @ 5V but only 100 kHz @ 1.8V; identical 8-pin SOIC (SO8) package | Same pinout and memory map; supports same industrial temp range (-40°C to +85°C) | Drop-in replacement if existing layout uses SO8 footprint; verify WP pin behavior matches - M24C02 uses active-low WP |
| BR24G02NUX-10 | Rohm 2K I²C EEPROM; 1.6V–5.5V range; 1 MHz max speed at 5V, but 100 kHz guaranteed at 1.7V; 8-pin TSSOP (VSON008X2030) package | Different package (TSSOP vs SOIC) requires PCB redesign; higher speed not usable at 1.8V | Preferred for new designs targeting ultra-low-power wearables where TSSOP's smaller footprint saves space |
Compared with AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8, M24C02-RMN6TP offers identical form/fit/function with minor WP polarity difference, while BR24G02NUX-10 trades SOIC compatibility for space savings and slightly lower Vmin - both require validation of write-protection logic and I²C timing margins in target system.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8?
The AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 is rated for operation from 1.8V to 5.5V. Its "-1.8" suffix explicitly denotes guaranteed functionality at the 1.8V lower limit, including full 100 kHz I²C communication, valid read/write timing, and proper WP pin response - verified per Microchip's DC and AC characteristics tables.
Does AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 support page writes, and what is the page size?
Yes, AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 supports 8-byte page writes. This allows up to eight consecutive bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction, significantly improving throughput versus individual byte writes. Page boundaries are fixed at 8-byte intervals, and address wraparound occurs within the same page if more than eight bytes are sent.
What is the function of the WP pin on AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 provides hardware-level memory protection. When pulled high to VCC, it locks the upper 1K-bit half of the 2K memory array against writes; when grounded, full read/write access is enabled. This prevents accidental overwrites during power-up or firmware glitches.
Is AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), as confirmed by its ordering code suffix "I" (e.g., AT24C02AN-10SI-1.8) and the "Industrial" column in the official AT24C02A Ordering Information table. The "-10SC" variant denotes SOIC packaging and 10 ms max write cycle.
What package type does AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 use?
AT24C02AN-10SC-1.8 uses an 8-pin JEDEC-standard SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. This is distinct from PDIP (8P3), TSSOP (8T), or 14-pin SOIC (14S) variants - confirmed in the Packaging Information section and ordering code breakdown.
