Product details
Overview
AT24C02C-MAPD-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2-kilobit (256 × 8) automotive-grade I²C serial EEPROM with 8-pin UDFN package, 1.7V–5.5V supply range, -40°C to +125°C Grade 1 operation, and hardware write protection via WP pin. It delivers 400 kHz I²C interface speed, 8-byte page writes, and is used for parameter storage in engine control units and ADAS sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02C-MAPD-T datasheet, AT24C02C-MAPD-T pinout, AT24C02C-MAPD-T application, or AT24C02C-MAPD-T equivalent, key selection criteria include Grade 1 temperature compliance, UDFN-8 footprint compatibility, 1,000,000 write endurance, and I²C address flexibility using A0–A2 pins in automotive powertrain and body electronics designs.
Technical Context
The AT24C02C-MAPD-T implements a two-wire I²C-compatible interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SCL/SDA inputs and open-drain SDA output. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit device address decoder (1010xxxA), 256-word memory array organized into 32 pages of 8 bytes each, and a self-timed write cycle controller with 5 ms maximum duration.
It supports byte and page write modes, current/random/sequential read operations, and acknowledge polling during write cycles. The WP pin enables full-array hardware write protection when tied to VCC, while A0–A2 pins configure the device address for up to eight devices on a shared bus - critical for multi-node automotive ECUs requiring nonvolatile configuration storage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2,048 bits (256 words × 8 bits), enabling storage of calibration coefficients or fault logs in compact ECU firmware. |
| Interface | I²C-compatible 2-wire serial bus with 400 kHz max clock frequency at 2.5V - suitable for real-time parameter updates without CPU overhead. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports wide-input automotive power rails including post-regulated 3.3V and unregulated 5V domains. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C (Grade 1 per AEC-Q100) - qualified for under-hood engine control module deployment. |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 write cycles - ensures reliable reprogramming over full vehicle lifetime (15+ years). |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration data without refresh. |
| Write Protection | Hardware-enabled via WP pin - prevents accidental overwrites during ECU boot or reset sequences. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02C-MAPD-T uses an 8-pad UDFN package (2.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-229 variant 8MA2), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables up to eight AT24C02C devices on one I²C bus. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; combined with A0/A2, selects unique I²C slave address (1010xxxA format). |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines position within 8-device addressing window on shared bus. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance connection in noisy automotive environments. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary DC input (1.7–5.5V); internal POR circuit ensures reliable initialization across voltage ramp profiles. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables normal read/write access. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data-in; negative-edge clock for data-out; includes Schmitt trigger and noise filtering. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor; supports wire-OR with other I²C devices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Grade 1 Qualification | Validated per AEC-Q100 Rev G for -40°C to +125°C operation - meets OEM requirements for powertrain and chassis modules. |
| Page Write Capability | 8-byte page writes reduce I²C transaction count by up to 8× versus byte writes - accelerates bulk parameter updates in diagnostic sessions. |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | Internal 5 ms max write completion eliminates need for software delay loops - simplifies firmware integration and improves system responsiveness. |
| Noise-immune Inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with built-in filtering suppresses EMI-induced glitches common in 12V automotive electrical systems. |
| Low Standby Current | Max 4.0 μA at 5.0V - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on vehicle networks like CAN FD gateways. |
Applications

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 2K density, SOIC-8 package, 1.7–5.5V, but rated only to +85°C (Grade 3); no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to cabin modules (infotainment, HVAC) where ambient temperature stays below 85°C. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs under-hood qualification needs and SOIC layout is already fixed. |
| Renesas R1EX24002ASAS0I | 2K I²C EEPROM, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, same UDFN-8 footprint, but supports 1 MHz I²C and 10-year data retention at +125°C. | Better suited for high-throughput diagnostics or extended-life commercial vehicles requiring >10-year retention at max temp. | Choose for next-gen platforms needing faster programming or longer high-temp data integrity - accepts same PCB land pattern. |
Compared with M24C02-RMN6TP, AT24C02C-MAPD-T provides certified Grade 1 operation essential for powertrain use, while Renesas R1EX24002ASAS0I offers higher I²C speed and extended retention - making AT24C02C-MAPD-T the balanced choice for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q100–compliant automotive designs requiring proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT24C02C-MAPD-T?
The AT24C02C-MAPD-T operates from 1.7V to 5.5V, supporting both low-voltage microcontroller interfaces (e.g., 1.8V logic) and legacy 5V automotive domains. This dual-range capability eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-voltage ECU designs and ensures compatibility with battery-supplied modules during cranking conditions down to 6V system voltage.
Does the AT24C02C-MAPD-T require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the AT24C02C-MAPD-T requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is a CMOS input. Typical values are 2.2 kΩ to 4.7 kΩ for 400 kHz operation at 3.3V; resistor selection must account for bus capacitance, number of devices, and rise time requirements per I²C specification - confirmed in the AT24C02C-MAPD-T datasheet Section 5.3.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C02C-MAPD-T?
Up to eight AT24C02C-MAPD-T devices can share a single I²C bus using the A0, A1, and A2 address pins to configure unique 3-bit device addresses. Each pin is hardwired to VCC or GND, forming a binary-encoded slave address prefix (1010xxxA). This allows flexible topology design in multi-sensor ECUs without address conflicts or software arbitration overhead.
Is the AT24C02C-MAPD-T pin-compatible with other packages in the AT24C02C family?
No - the AT24C02C-MAPD-T uses an 8-pad UDFN package (8MA2), which is not pin-compatible with the SOIC-8 (8S1) or TSSOP-8 (8X) variants of the same part. While all share identical pin functions and ordering code logic, the UDFN package has bottom-side pads and different mechanical dimensions, requiring separate PCB footprints and reflow profiles.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the AT24C02C-MAPD-T?
The maximum write cycle time for the AT24C02C-MAPD-T is 5 ms, as specified in the datasheet AC Characteristics table (tWR). This self-timed internal operation begins after the Stop condition and completes before the device responds to subsequent I²C commands. Firmware must implement acknowledge polling or fixed delays to avoid bus errors during write execution.
