Product details
Overview
AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 4-kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 512 words × 8 bits, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V with 100 kHz clock support, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and hardware write protection via the WP pin-used for nonvolatile parameter storage in industrial control modules, sensor calibration registers, and power management configuration.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T datasheet, AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T pinout, AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T application, or AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC SOIC-8 package mapping, 8-pin terminal roles, endurance (1M cycles), data retention (100 years), and two validated alternative parts for low-voltage I²C EEPROM design.
Technical Context
The AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting up to 100 kHz operation at 2.7V–5.5V supply. It uses A2 and A1 pins for hardwired device addressing (A0 is NC), enabling up to four devices on one bus.
It features 16-byte page write capability, self-timed internal write cycle (≤10 ms), and hardware write protection activated when WP = VCC. Standby current is 1.6 µA max at 2.7V, and input leakage remains ≤3.0 µA across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 kbit (512 × 8-bit words), sufficient for storing firmware configuration, calibration coefficients, or device ID tables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports mixed-voltage systems including 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz maximum at 2.7V - ensures reliable timing margin in noisy industrial environments |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤10 ms - defines minimum interval between successive writes; impacts real-time logging latency |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - enables daily reconfiguration over >27 years of field operation |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration or security keys |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications without derating |
Pinout & Package
AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (8S1), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | No Connect | Not used in AT24C04; left unconnected per datasheet - no external pull required |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Hardwired to set 1 of 4 possible I²C addresses (with A2); enables multi-device bus topology |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired to set 1 of 4 possible I²C addresses (with A1); determines unique slave address |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–5.5V main supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 1 cm of pin |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables full read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock for I²C protocol; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shared across multiple I²C slaves; requires external pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger, filtered inputs | Rejects high-frequency noise on SCL/SDA lines - eliminates false clocking in EMI-prone motor-control or power-conversion environments |
| 16-byte page write mode | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by up to 16× vs. byte-write - critical for efficient firmware update or bulk parameter save |
| Hardware write protection (WP pin) | Prevents accidental or malicious overwrites during system boot or brown-out - essential for secure configuration storage |
| Low standby current (1.6 µA @ 2.7V) | Minimizes battery drain in always-on IoT nodes or backup-power systems - extends shelf life and runtime |
| 100-year data retention | Eliminates need for periodic refresh or checksum validation in sealed industrial sensors or medical devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C04-RMN6TP | Same 4-kbit size, SOIC-8, 2.5V–5.5V range; 400 kHz max clock (vs. 100 kHz for AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T) | Supports higher-speed I²C bursts but lacks guaranteed 2.7V-only operation; not rated for −40°C start-up | Select if system uses 3.3V I²C with >100 kHz demand and ambient stays >−20°C |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C04WI-GT3 | Identical 4-kbit organization, SOIC-8, 1.7V–5.5V range; 100 kHz at 1.8V; WP pin and page write supported | Broader low-voltage headroom (1.7V min), but endurance rated at 100k cycles (vs. 1M for AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T) | Select for ultra-low-power battery systems needing <1.8V operation, accepting reduced rewrite lifetime |
Compared with M24C04-RMN6TP and CAT24C04WI-GT3, AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T offers superior industrial temperature assurance (−40°C to +85°C), guaranteed 1-million-cycle endurance, and strict 2.7V–5.5V compatibility - making it optimal for mission-critical calibration and configuration storage where longevity and cold-start reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T?
The AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated within its specified 2.7V–5.5V supply range. This limit ensures timing compliance with tLOW ≥ 4.7 µs and tHIGH ≥ 4.0 µs under industrial temperature conditions. The part does not support 400 kHz operation - that capability applies only to 5.0V versions like AT24C04-10PC.
Does AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed; 4.7 kΩ is recommended for 100 kHz operation with ≤400 pF total bus load.
How many AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T devices can share the same I²C bus?
Up to four AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T devices can coexist on a single I²C bus. This is enabled by hardwiring the A2 and A1 pins to VCC or GND to select unique 3-bit device address bits; A0 is internally disconnected and unused in this variant.
What happens when the WP pin of AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T is connected to VCC?
When the WP pin of AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T is connected to VCC, hardware write protection is fully enabled: all write operations (byte, page, and erase) to the entire 4-kbit memory array are blocked. Read operations remain fully functional, allowing safe parameter retrieval without risk of corruption.
Is AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T compatible with 1.8V I²C systems?
No, AT24C04N-10SI-2.7-T is not compatible with 1.8V I²C systems. Its minimum operating voltage is 2.7V, as indicated by the "-2.7" suffix. For 1.8V operation, Microchip offers the AT24C04N-10SI-1.8-T variant, which is characterized down to 1.8V and supports 100 kHz at that voltage.
