Product details
Overview
AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 4K-bit (512 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with hardware write protection, low-voltage operation (2.7V to 5.5V), and 100 kHz maximum clock frequency. It features 16-byte page write capability, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and is packaged in an 8-pin JEDEC SOIC. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring robust data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 datasheet, AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 pinout, AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 application, or AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.7V–5.5V supply range, 16-byte page write mode, WP pin hardware protection logic, endurance of 1 million write cycles, and compatibility with standard I²C bus timing at 100 kHz.
Technical Context
The AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA and active-high SCL, supporting standard-mode (100 kHz) timing only under 2.7V–5.5V operation. Its internal memory is organized as 512 words of 8 bits, addressed via 9-bit word addressing with A2/A1 hardwired device address inputs and A0 as no-connect.
Write protection is controlled by the WP pin: when tied to VCC, the upper 2K-bit half of the array is write-protected; when grounded, full read/write access is enabled. The device enters self-timed write cycles (≤10 ms) after each byte or page write, during which all inputs are disabled and acknowledge polling is required to detect completion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 Kbit (512 × 8), enabling storage of firmware calibration data or user settings without external parallel bus |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max - ensures reliable communication on noisy industrial buses with standard pull-up resistors |
| Page Write Size | 16 bytes - reduces write transaction overhead versus byte-write, improving system-level update efficiency |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - suitable for applications requiring frequent parameter logging or counter updates |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored configuration across product lifetime |
| Write Protect Logic | WP = VCC protects upper 2K-bit half; WP = GND enables full read/write - provides flexible hardware-based security partitioning |
Pinout & Package
AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 is housed in an 8-pin JEDEC SOIC (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | No Connect | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected per datasheet - avoids unintended device addressing conflicts |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Hardwired input used with A2 to select one of four possible I²C addresses on shared bus |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired input enabling up to four AT24C04A devices on same I²C bus without address collision |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power rail (2.7–5.5V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin for stable I²C operation |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware-enforced lock: high = upper 2K-bit protected; low = full read/write access - no software dependency |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock; requires external pull-up; determines I²C timing compliance (100 kHz max at 2.7V) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain line; shared across multiple I²C devices; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger filtered inputs | Rejects >100 ns noise pulses on SCL/SDA, eliminating false clock/data transitions in electrically noisy environments |
| Partial page writes | Allows writing fewer than 16 bytes per transaction without overwriting adjacent data - simplifies incremental updates |
| Self-timed write cycle | Automatically manages erase/write sequence; eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| ESD protection >3000V | Withstands HBM ESD events common during board handling and assembly - reduces field failure risk |
| Standby current ≤4 µA at 2.7V | Minimizes battery drain in always-on IoT sensors or portable devices operating from coin cells |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M24C04-RMN6TP | 4K-bit, 1.7–5.5V supply, 400 kHz I²C, 8-pin TSSOP package | Higher speed and wider voltage range; lacks dedicated WP pin - requires software-based protection | Preferred where space-constrained PCBs demand TSSOP and faster writes are needed, but hardware write lock is not mandatory |
| CAT24C04WI-GT3 | 4K-bit, 1.7–5.5V, 400 kHz, 8-pin SOIC, integrated WP enable/disable control via I²C command | Software-configurable write protection replaces hardware WP pin; higher standby current (1 µA typical vs. 1.6 µA) | Chosen when dynamic protection state switching (e.g., during firmware update) is required, and 400 kHz timing is acceptable |
Compared with M24C04-RMN6TP and CAT24C04WI-GT3, the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 offers deterministic hardware write protection and guaranteed 100 kHz timing at 2.7V - critical for cost-sensitive industrial controllers where pin count, layout simplicity, and voltage margin are prioritized over speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7?
The AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 100 kHz when operated within its specified 2.7V to 5.5V supply range. This limitation is defined in the AC Characteristics table of the datasheet and reflects timing margins optimized for reliability at lower voltages. It does not support 400 kHz operation - that capability is reserved for the 5.0V-rated variants like AT24C04AN-10SC.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7?
On the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7, the WP pin enables hardware-based write protection: when pulled high to VCC, the upper 2K-bit half (addresses 0x200–0x3FF) is write-protected while the lower half remains writable; when grounded, full read/write access is granted. This behavior is fixed and cannot be overridden by I²C commands - ensuring fail-safe data integrity.
What package type is used for the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7?
The AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 uses an 8-pin JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), measuring 0.150" wide with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. It is distinct from the 14-pin SOIC or TSSOP variants and is compatible with standard SOIC-8 footprints and reflow profiles.
Can the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 be used with a 1.8V microcontroller I²C interface?
No - the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 is rated for 2.7V to 5.5V operation only. While its inputs meet VIH/VIL thresholds down to 2.7V, it cannot reliably drive SDA at 1.8V logic levels or sustain internal circuitry below 2.7V. For 1.8V systems, use the AT24C04AN-10SC-1.8 variant instead.
What is the endurance rating of the AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7, and how is it tested?
The AT24C04AN-10SC-2.7 is rated for 1 million write cycles per memory location, verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117 standard at 25°C and 5.0V. This endurance applies to both byte and page writes and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) with derating applied per JEDEC guidelines.
