Product details
Overview
AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for ultra-low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supports 100 kHz I²C bus speed at 1.8 V, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in battery-powered IoT sensors for nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 datasheet, AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 pinout, AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 application, or AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8 V minimum supply, 8-byte page write capability, SOIC-8 package footprint, and I²C timing compliance at low voltage.
Technical Context
The AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA and Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs for noise immunity. Its internal memory is organized as 32 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring an 8-bit word address for random access.
It uses hard-wired A0–A2 device address pins (all active for 2K density), supports byte and page write modes, and enters standby mode automatically after STOP condition-drawing only 3 µA at 1.8 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 words × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware calibration tables or device ID storage in compact nodes. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V; enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8 V; ensures reliable communication in power-constrained, noise-prone environments. |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms maximum; defines minimum interval between successive writes; impacts real-time logging latency. |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles; supports frequent parameter updates in industrial control or metering applications. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C; guarantees long-term validity of stored calibration or security keys without refresh. |
| Standby Current | 3 µA at 1.8 V; minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on edge devices. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package, 0.150" wide, with standard gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired LSB of 3-bit device address; enables up to eight AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 devices on one I²C bus. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; determines unique I²C slave address alongside A0 and A2. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; all three pins (A2–A0) are active and required for 2K density addressing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance to maintain I²C noise margin. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8–5.5 V input; powers internal logic and memory array; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware lock: tied to GND for read/write, to VCC to protect entire 2K array from accidental writes. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data transfer; includes Schmitt trigger for robust timing in noisy environments. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up; supports wire-OR with other I²C peripherals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8 V operation support | Enables direct integration into modern ultra-low-power microcontroller subsystems without voltage translation. |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces I²C transaction overhead when updating multiple adjacent parameters-e.g., sensor offset and gain registers. |
| Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs | Rejects fast transients and improves timing margin in electrically noisy industrial or automotive PCB layouts. |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents firmware corruption during brown-out or reset sequences by disabling writes without software intervention. |
| 100-year data retention | Eliminates need for periodic refresh or backup power in sealed, maintenance-free deployments like smart utility meters. |
Applications
| Smart Sensor Node | Industrial PLC Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | Same 2 Kbit capacity and 1.8 V operation, but in 8-lead TSSOP (8T) package; slightly smaller footprint and lower profile. | TSSOP suits space-constrained designs where SOIC thermal mass or height is problematic. | Select AT24C02D-SSHM-T if board area or Z-height is critical; verify solder paste volume and reflow profile for TSSOP. |
| M24C02-RMN6TP | STMicroelectronics 2 Kbit EEPROM; identical 1.8–5.5 V range and 100 kHz I²C speed at 1.8 V, but rated for extended -40°C to +105°C operation. | Better suited for under-hood automotive or outdoor industrial enclosures exceeding +85°C ambient. | Choose M24C02-RMN6TP when operating temperature exceeds +85°C; note different device address mapping (A0/A1 only). |
Compared with AT24C02N-10SC-1.8, AT24C02D-SSHM-T offers identical electrical behavior in a smaller package, while M24C02-RMN6TP extends temperature range at the cost of minor address pin compatibility differences-both require validation of WP pin behavior and page write timing in target firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 at 1.8 V?
The AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 1.8 V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSCL for 1.8 V operation. Higher frequencies (e.g., 400 kHz) require VCC ≥ 2.7 V. The 100 kHz limit ensures timing margins for rise/fall times and noise immunity in low-voltage systems.
Does AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 supports partial page writes within its 8-byte pages. After initiating a page write, the internal address counter increments automatically, allowing up to eight sequential bytes to be written-even if fewer than eight are sent. This enables efficient updates of non-contiguous register sets without splitting transactions.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C02N-10SC-1.8?
On AT24C02N-10SC-1.8, the WP pin provides hardware-level write protection: when tied to VCC, it disables all write operations to the entire 2 Kbit array; when grounded, normal read/write access is enabled. This prevents inadvertent writes during power transitions or firmware errors without requiring software commands.
What package type is used for AT24C02N-10SC-1.8?
AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 uses an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (designated 8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. This is confirmed in the AT24C02 Ordering Information table and Packaging Information section, distinguishing it from PDIP (8P3) and TSSOP (8T) variants.
Is AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 compatible with standard I²C protocol?
Yes, AT24C02N-10SC-1.8 fully complies with standard I²C protocol: it responds to 7-bit slave addresses (with A2–A0 bits), acknowledges with ACK after each byte, supports START/STOP conditions, and implements clock stretching only during internal write cycles-not during read or address phases.
