Product details
Overview
AT24C02N-10SI-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 parameter storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 datasheet, AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 pinout, AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 application, or AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8 V minimum supply, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), JEDEC SOIC-8 package, 8-byte page write capability, and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs.
Technical Context
The AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, device addressing via A0–A2 pins (hardwired for 2K density), and hardware write protection controlled by the WP pin. It uses internal address counters for sequential reads and supports both byte and page write modes.
Its memory is organized as 32 pages of 8 bytes each, requiring an 8-bit word address for random access. The device enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition receipt and supports acknowledge polling during write cycles - critical for deterministic firmware timing in resource-constrained microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Kbit (256 × 8 bits), enabling storage of calibration constants or configuration flags in compact firmware. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8 V - ensures reliable communication in low-power, noise-sensitive environments like portable medical devices. |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum delay between write commands; impacts firmware latency in real-time logging applications. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - meets long-life requirements for industrial control EEPROM usage. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation in automotive body controllers and factory automation nodes. |
| Package | 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm footprint - compatible with standard reflow assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (package code 8S1), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing surface-mount terminals. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; enables up to eight AT24C02 devices on one I²C bus - essential for multi-sensor node addressing. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Second hardwired address bit; combined with A0/A2, forms 3-bit device ID for bus arbitration and conflict avoidance. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Third hardwired address bit; allows unique addressing of multiple 2K EEPROMs sharing SDA/SCL lines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance to maintain noise immunity in mixed-signal systems. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single-supply input supporting 1.8–5.5 V; powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers - no separate VIO required. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware-enforced read-only mode when pulled high; prevents accidental overwrites during power-up/down or firmware faults. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Open-drain clock line synchronized to master; edge-triggered sampling requires external pull-up for bus integrity. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bi-directional open-drain data line; shared across I²C peripherals; requires external pull-up and noise filtering per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables robust operation in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor drives) by rejecting sub-threshold voltage transients on SCL/SDA. |
| 8-byte page write | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by writing up to 8 bytes per command - cuts firmware execution time vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Self-timed write cycle | Eliminates need for external timing control; firmware can poll ACK or use fixed 10 ms delay - simplifies driver implementation. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in uncontrolled ambient deployments like smart metering or HVAC controls. |
| Low standby current | 3 µA max at 1.8 V minimizes quiescent drain in battery-powered applications - extends shelf life of coin-cell-powered devices. |

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 | 2 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V supply, 400 kHz @ 5 V only; SOIC-8; 1 M write cycles, 40-year retention. | Lacks 100 kHz guarantee at 1.8 V; lower data retention spec limits use in long-life infrastructure equipment. | Select if higher-speed 5 V operation is prioritized and 1.8 V margin is not required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for AT24C02N-10SI-1.8?
The AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 is fully specified to operate down to 1.8 V, with guaranteed 100 kHz I²C communication, 3 µA standby current, and valid read/write functionality across the full industrial temperature range. This makes AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 suitable for direct integration with 1.8 V logic domains without voltage translation.
Does AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 support page write operations?
Yes, AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 supports 8-byte page writes, allowing up to eight consecutive bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction. This reduces bus overhead and firmware latency compared to individual byte writes - particularly valuable in time-critical sensor logging applications using AT24C02N-10SI-1.8.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on AT24C02N-10SI-1.8?
On AT24C02N-10SI-1.8, the WP pin enables hardware-level write protection: when pulled high to VCC, it disables all write operations to the entire 2 Kbit memory array; when grounded, normal read/write functions resume. This prevents accidental overwrites during power transitions or software exceptions.
Is AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 compatible with standard I²C protocols?
Yes, AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 implements a standard two-wire I²C interface compliant with Philips I²C specification, supporting START/STOP conditions, 7-bit device addressing (with A0–A2 inputs), ACK/NACK handshaking, and repeated START sequences - ensuring interoperability with all standard I²C masters.
What package type is used for AT24C02N-10SI-1.8?
AT24C02N-10SI-1.8 uses an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (package code 8S1), measuring 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and is footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints.
