Product details
Overview
AT24C02D-SSHM-T from Microchip Technology is a 2-Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM in an 8-lead SOIC 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 embedded controllers, sensor calibration modules, and power management ICs.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02D-SSHM-T datasheet, AT24C02D-SSHM-T pinout, AT24C02D-SSHM-T application, or AT24C02D-SSHM-T equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C bus voltage compatibility (1.7–3.6V), page-write capability (8-byte pages), write endurance (1M cycles), data retention (100 years), and WP pin behavior under floating vs. driven conditions.
Technical Context
The AT24C02D-SSHM-T implements a two-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA inputs, integrated spike suppression filters, and open-drain bidirectional SDA. It supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz) timing across its full 1.7–3.6V VCC range, with automatic pull-down on A0/A1/A2/WP pins when unconnected.
Internally organized as 32 pages of 8 bytes (256 × 8), it features hardware address decoding (A0–A2), write-protect logic that inhibits all writes when WP = VCC, and self-timed internal write cycles completing within 5 ms. Power-on reset (POR) ensures reliable initialization with tPUP ≥ 100 µs after VCC stabilization.

Pinout & Package
AT24C02D-SSHM-T is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and RoHS-compliant green finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Hardware Address Input | LSB of 3-bit device address; pulled down internally if floating - enables up to 8 devices on one I²C bus |
| A1 | Hardware Address Input | Middle bit of device address; determines unique I²C slave address alongside A0 and A2 |
| A2 | Hardware Address Input | MSB of device address; combined with A0/A1, selects one of eight possible 7-bit addresses (0x50–0x57) |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for VCC and signal logic; must be connected to PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
| SDA | Serial Data Line | Open-drain bidirectional I²C data line requiring external pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ); shared across multiple slaves |
| SCL | Serial Clock Line | Input-only I²C clock line; requires external pull-up; timing-critical for 1 MHz FM+ operation |
| WP | Write-Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables full read/write access |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.7–3.6V supply input; must ramp monotonically at ≤0.1 V/µs during power-up to ensure POR reliability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast Mode Plus Support | 1 MHz I²C operation at 2.5–3.6V enables 10× faster writes vs. Standard mode - critical for time-sensitive firmware recovery |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides tamper-resistant, non-software-dependent memory lock - essential for secure boot configuration storage |
| Ultra-Low Standby Current | 0.8 μA max ensures <1 µW standby power draw - extends battery life in portable medical and sensor devices |
| Internal Pull-Down on Address Pins | A0/A1/A2 default to logic 0 when unconnected - simplifies design for single-device systems without external resistors |
| ESD Robustness | 4,000V HBM rating protects against handling and board-level ESD events - reduces field failure risk in manufacturing environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02C-SSHM-T | Same 2-Kbit capacity and SOIC-8 package, but rated for 1.8–5.5V VCC range and lacks Fast Mode Plus (max 400 kHz) | Not suitable for 1.7V systems or 1 MHz timing-critical logging; higher VCC ceiling allows direct connection to 5V logic rails | Select AT24C02C-SSHM-T only if operating above 1.8V and no FM+ bandwidth required |
| M24C02-RMN6TP | 2-Kbit EEPROM in 8-lead TSSOP, 1.8–5.5V, supports 400 kHz I²C, 1M endurance, but no WP pin | Requires software-based write protection; incompatible where hardware lock is mandated by safety standards (e.g., IEC 62368) | Choose M24C02-RMN6TP only when WP functionality is unnecessary and TSSOP footprint is preferred |
Compared with AT24C02D-SSHM-T, AT24C02C-SSHM-T trades FM+ speed and 1.7V operation for wider VCC tolerance, while M24C02-RMN6TP sacrifices hardware write protection for cost-sensitive consumer designs - neither offers pin-to-pin or functional equivalence without circuit modification.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C02D-SSHM-T?
The AT24C02D-SSHM-T supports up to 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) operation, but only when VCC is between 2.5V and 3.6V. At 1.7–2.5V, maximum speed is limited to 400 kHz Fast Mode. This voltage-dependent timing ensures signal integrity across its full operating range and must be accounted for in clock generator configuration for AT24C02D-SSHM-T.
Does AT24C02D-SSHM-T require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C02D-SSHM-T requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because SDA is open-drain and SCL is input-only. Recommended values are ≤10 kΩ for SDA; exact value depends on bus capacitance and target I²C speed - e.g., 1.3 kΩ for 1 MHz FM+, 4 kΩ for 400 kHz, and 10 kΩ for 100 kHz. No internal pull-ups are provided on AT24C02D-SSHM-T.
How does the WP pin function on AT24C02D-SSHM-T, and what happens if it's left unconnected?
When WP is tied to VCC, AT24C02D-SSHM-T disables all write operations to its entire memory array. If left unconnected, the internal strong pull-down drives WP to GND, enabling normal writes - but Microchip recommends hardwiring WP to avoid noise-induced glitches. Floating WP is not recommended in noisy industrial environments due to capacitive coupling risks affecting AT24C02D-SSHM-T reliability.
What is the memory organization of AT24C02D-SSHM-T, and how does page writing work?
AT24C02D-SSHM-T organizes its 256 bytes into 32 pages of 8 bytes each. Page writes allow up to 8 sequential bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction, crossing page boundaries is prohibited. For example, writing to address 0x07–0x0F wraps to page 0x01, requiring two separate page writes. This architecture optimizes AT24C02D-SSHM-T for compact firmware updates and avoids unintended overwrites.
Is AT24C02D-SSHM-T compatible with standard I²C protocol and level-shifted buses?
Yes, AT24C02D-SSHM-T is fully compliant with standard I²C specification (UM10204) for addressing, ACK/NACK, Start/Stop, and timing - including support for repeated Start. Its 1.7–3.6V VCC range and CMOS-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (0.7×VCC / 0.3×VCC) enable direct interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V MCUs. Level-shifting is only needed when connecting to 5V I²C masters, which AT24C02D-SSHM-T does not support natively.
