Product details
Overview
AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an 8K-bit (1024 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with hardware write protection, low-voltage operation (2.7V–5.5V), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It supports 100 kHz I²C communication, 16-byte page writes, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention - deployed in embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration memory, and power-management parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 datasheet, AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 pinout, AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 application, or AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V minimum VCC, industrial-grade TSSOP-8 package, WP-enabled hardware lock, 10 ms max write cycle time, and compatibility with microcontroller I²C peripherals requiring robust nonvolatile storage at extended temperature.
Technical Context
The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, Schmitt-triggered inputs for noise immunity, and bidirectional data transfer protocol with ACK/NACK handshaking. Its device addressing uses only the A2 pin (A0/A1 are NC), enabling up to two AT24C08A devices per bus.
Internally organized as four 256-page blocks of 4 bytes each, it requires a 10-bit word address for random access and supports partial page writes within its 16-byte page boundary. Write protection is asserted when WP = VCC, locking the full 8K array - distinct from AT24C02A/04A's half-array protection scheme.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8192 bits (1024 × 8), sufficient for storing firmware parameters, calibration coefficients, or device identity data in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting in industrial environments. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz maximum at 2.7V - ensures reliable timing margin under low-VCC conditions while maintaining compatibility with legacy I²C masters. |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤10 ms - defines worst-case latency before next command; self-timed and transparent to host software flow control. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - meets long-life requirements for field-deployed equipment with infrequent but critical updates. |
| ESD Protection | >3000V HBM - provides robust handling during board assembly and end-user service without external protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, automotive body electronics, and outdoor IoT edge nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), 0.170" wide, with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | No-connect (NC) for AT24C08A; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC - no effect on addressing. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | No-connect (NC) for AT24C08A; unused and electrically isolated from internal logic. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; determines one of two possible I²C slave addresses (0x50 or 0x51) on shared bus. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for VCC and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (2.7–5.5V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of pin. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware lock: tied to VCC to disable all writes (full 8K array protected); tied to GND for normal read/write operation. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; open-drain, requires external pull-up; Schmitt-triggered for noise rejection on slow-rising edges. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain data line; shared across multiple I²C devices; pull-up resistor value selected per bus capacitance and speed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin disables all write operations when pulled high - prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware bugs. |
| 16-Byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst programming of up to 16 bytes per I²C transaction - reduces bus overhead and total write time vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Filters noise on SCL/SDA lines, allowing reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial enclosures without additional RC filtering. |
| Low Standby Current | 4 µA max at 2.7V - minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems during sleep modes. |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Qualified from −40°C to +85°C - eliminates derating concerns in uncontrolled ambient deployments like factory floor controllers or outdoor gateways. |

Use Value: Enables fail-safe firmware recovery and field-upgradable security policies without expanding MCU silicon cost. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95M01-RDW6TP | 1 Mbit SPI interface (vs. I²C), 2.5–5.5V supply, 5 ms write cycle, SO8 package | Requires SPI-capable MCU; faster write but different protocol stack integration; no WP pin - uses software lock commands | Select when existing design uses SPI peripherals and higher density (128K × 8) is needed; verify timing compatibility with host controller. |

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7?
The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.7V–5.5V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSCL for the "2.7-, 2.5-, 1.8-volt" column. While 400 kHz is supported at 5.0V, the -2.7 suffix denotes the 2.7V–5.5V voltage option, which caps operation at 100 kHz to ensure timing compliance across the full voltage and temperature range. The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 must be configured accordingly in the host I²C peripheral.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7?
On the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7, the WP pin provides hardware-level write inhibition: when pulled high to VCC, it locks the entire 8K-bit memory array against all write operations including byte, page, and erase commands. When tied to GND, full read/write functionality is restored. This behavior is distinct from earlier AT24C02A/04A variants and is documented in the WP Pin Status table. The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 implements full-array protection - no partial enablement is possible.
What package type and dimensions does the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 use?
The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 is packaged in an 8-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated as 8T in Microchip's ordering guide. Its body width is 4.4 mm (0.170"), lead pitch is 0.65 mm, and overall length is 3.0 mm. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled corner. This package is RoHS-compliant, surface-mount compatible, and optimized for high-density PCB layouts - confirmed in the Packaging Information section of the AT24C02A/04A/08A datasheet.
Can the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 be used with a 1.8V I²C master?
No - the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 is rated for 2.7V to 5.5V operation only. Although the broader AT24C08A family includes -1.8 variants (e.g., AT24C08A-10TI-1.8), the -2.7 suffix explicitly denotes the 2.7V–5.5V voltage grade. Using it with a 1.8V master violates the absolute minimum VCC specification and risks unreliable communication, incomplete writes, or premature device failure. For 1.8V systems, the AT24C08A-10TI-1.8 variant must be selected instead.
What is the memory organization and addressing scheme of the AT24C08A-10TI-2.7?
The AT24C08A-10TI-2.7 contains 8192 bits organized as 1024 words of 8 bits each (1024 × 8). It uses a 10-bit word address for random access, with the upper 2 bits selecting one of four 256-page blocks and the lower 8 bits indexing within each block. Device addressing uses only the A2 pin (A0/A1 are NC), yielding two possible I²C slave addresses: 0x50 (A2 = GND) or 0x51 (A2 = VCC). This structure is defined in the Memory Organization and Device Addressing sections of the datasheet.
