Product details
Overview
AT24C02D-PUM from Microchip Technology is a 2-Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM in an 8-lead PDIP package, operating from 1.7V to 3.6V with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus support, and hardware write protection via WP pin - used for nonvolatile parameter storage in microcontroller-based sensor nodes and power management subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02D-PUM datasheet, AT24C02D-PUM pinout, AT24C02D-PUM application, or AT24C02D-PUM equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-pin DIP footprint compatibility, 5 ms max self-timed write cycle, 1,000,000 write endurance, ultra-low standby current (0.8 μA), and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune I²C interface across voltage grades.
Technical Context
The AT24C02D-PUM functions as an I²C slave device with fixed 7-bit address prefix 1010b and three programmable hardware address bits (A0–A2), enabling up to eight devices on one bus. Its internal memory is organized as 32 pages of 8 bytes each, supporting byte and 8-byte page writes with acknowledge polling.
It implements a dedicated hardware write-protect circuit tied to the WP pin: logic high disables all writes to the full array, while logic low enables normal operation. All I/O pins (SDA, SCL, WP, A0–A2) feature Schmitt triggers and input filtering for robustness against bus noise in industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 2,048 bits (256 × 8), directly usable for calibration data or firmware configuration storage |
| Supply voltage | 1.7V to 3.6V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Interface speed | Up to 1 MHz (Fast Mode Plus) at VCC ≥ 2.5V - enables faster parameter updates in time-critical systems |
| Write endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - suitable for logging applications with frequent small writes |
| Data retention | 100 years at 55°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended embedded deployments |
| Standby current | 0.8 μA max at 3.6V - minimizes battery drain in always-on IoT edge nodes |
| Write cycle time | ≤5 ms self-timed - eliminates need for external timing control or busy-wait polling overhead |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02D-PUM is supplied in an 8-lead PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; orientation follows standard IC top-view labeling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device address input | Hardware-selectable bit for multi-device I²C addressing; pulled down internally if floating |
| A1 | Device address input | Second hardware address bit; enables up to eight unique addresses when combined with A0/A2 |
| A2 | Device address input | Third hardware address bit; required for bus arbitration in stacked EEPROM configurations |
| GND | Ground reference | System return path for VCC and all I/O; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise coupling |
| SDA | Serial data line | Open-drain bidirectional I²C data bus; requires external pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ) |
| SCL | Serial clock line | Input-only I²C clock; rising edge latches input, falling edge clocks out data |
| WP | Write-protect control | Logic high disables all writes to entire memory array; prevents accidental overwrites during power transitions |
| VCC | Power supply | 1.7–3.6V core supply; must ramp monotonically at ≤0.1 V/µs for reliable POR behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware write protection | WP pin provides immediate, latch-free disabling of all write operations - critical for safety-critical configuration locks |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | SDA/SCL/A0–A2/WP inputs reject fast transients and bus noise, eliminating false start/stop detection in EMI-heavy environments |
| Page write mode | 8-byte burst writes reduce I²C transaction overhead by 87% vs. sequential byte writes - accelerates bulk parameter updates |
| Low-voltage operation | Full functionality down to 1.7V enables direct integration with energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered systems |
| Green packaging | Pb-free, halide-free, RoHS-compliant PDIP meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02C-PUM | Same 2-Kbit capacity and PDIP-8 package, but rated for commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C) only | Not qualified for industrial or automotive under-hood use where extended temperature stability is required | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with controlled ambient environments |
| M24C02-RMN6TP | 2-Kbit I²C EEPROM in 8-lead SOIC; supports 1 MHz FM+ but lacks internal pull-down on address pins | Requires external pull-down resistors on A0–A2 for deterministic addressing; no WP pin - software-only protection | Choose when board space constraints favor SOIC and system-level write control suffices |
Compared with AT24C02C-PUM, the AT24C02D-PUM adds guaranteed industrial temperature operation and stronger internal address pin biasing; versus M24C02-RMN6TP, it provides hardware write protection and simplified multi-device addressing without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C02D-PUM?
The AT24C02D-PUM supports 100 kHz Standard Mode, 400 kHz Fast Mode, and 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus - but FM+ operation requires VCC ≥ 2.5V. At 1.7–2.4V, only Standard and Fast Modes are guaranteed. This allows designers to scale bus speed based on supply rail and noise environment without changing the AT24C02D-PUM part number.
Does the AT24C02D-PUM require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the AT24C02D-PUM requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is input-only. Microchip specifies maximum values of 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 4 kΩ for 400 kHz, and 1.3 kΩ for 1 MHz operation - these values ensure proper rise times per I²C specification and prevent signal integrity issues in multi-drop buses.
How does the write-protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C02D-PUM?
When the WP pin of the AT24C02D-PUM is driven high (to VCC), all write operations - including byte, page, and erase - are inhibited across the full 2-Kbit memory array. When WP is low (GND) or floating (internally pulled down), normal write access is enabled. This hardware-level lock prevents corruption during power instability or firmware faults, independent of software state.
Can the AT24C02D-PUM operate reliably at 1.7V supply voltage?
Yes, the AT24C02D-PUM is fully specified for operation at 1.7V - including 100 kHz and 400 kHz I²C modes, 5 ms write cycle, and 0.8 μA standby current. Its design uses optimized process and circuit techniques to maintain timing margins and noise immunity even at minimum VCC, making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where voltage sag is common.
What is the memory organization of the AT24C02D-PUM and how does it affect write efficiency?
The AT24C02D-PUM organizes its 2,048 bits as 32 pages of 8 bytes each. This enables 8-byte page writes, reducing I²C transaction count by up to 8× compared to byte writes - for example, storing a 24-byte sensor calibration table requires only three page writes instead of 24 separate byte writes, significantly lowering bus occupancy and host CPU overhead.
