Product details
Overview
AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an 8K-bit (1024 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz clock rate at 1.8V, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in industrial sensor calibration storage and automotive body control modules requiring nonvolatile parameter persistence across power cycles.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 datasheet, AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 pinout, AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 application, or AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.8V minimum supply, 8-lead MAP package footprint, A2-only device addressing, 64-page × 16-byte organization, and automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, Schmitt-triggered inputs for noise immunity, and bi-directional data transfer protocol compliant with standard I²C timing. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random-address, and sequential read modes.
Write operations support byte and 16-byte page writes with self-timed 5 ms max write cycle; acknowledge polling enables host synchronization. Device addressing uses only the A2 pin (A0/A1 are NC), allowing up to two AT24C08A devices on one bus, with WP pin enabling full-array hardware write protection when pulled high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8 Kbit (1024 words × 8 bits), organized as 64 pages of 16 bytes - enables efficient parameter storage with page-aligned updates. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V logic and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz at 1.8V - ensures reliable communication in ultra-low-power applications where higher speeds are not required. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - suitable for frequent calibration or configuration updates in field-deployed equipment. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored firmware parameters or device-specific settings. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| Write Protect Function | Hardware-enabled full-array protection when WP = VCC - prevents accidental overwrites during system boot or reset sequences. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead Miniature Array Package (MAP), 4.90 mm × 3.00 mm body, non-leaded, dual-footprint compatible with SOIC/TSSOP land patterns. Pin 1 is marked by index area in bottom-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | No-connect (NC) | Not bonded; must be left unconnected - eliminates external pull-up/down requirements for address configuration. |
| A1 | No-connect (NC) | Not bonded; no effect on device addressing - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hard-wired input determining 1-of-2 device address on shared I²C bus - enables dual-device topology without software arbitration. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for VCC and I/O - requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL lines. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V supply input - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) recommended within 5 mm of pin for stable operation. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high enable for full-array write lock - tied to VCC for permanent protection or GND for normal read/write access. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data sampling; negative-edge for data output - requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ). |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line - shares pull-up with other I²C devices; supports wire-OR logic for multi-master arbitration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8V Operation Support | Guaranteed functionality down to 1.8V supply - enables direct integration with ultra-low-power microcontrollers and battery-backed systems. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin disables all write operations to entire 8K array when asserted - eliminates risk of firmware corruption during brown-out or ESD events. |
| 16-Byte Page Write | Allows burst programming of up to 16 bytes per write cycle - reduces I²C transaction overhead and accelerates bulk configuration updates. |
| Automotive-Grade Qualification | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Class 2 (−40°C to +105°C ambient) and extended to +85°C operating range - suitable for body electronics and infotainment subsystems. |
| Noise-Immune Inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with filtered inputs - rejects fast transients and improves robustness in electrically noisy automotive or industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C08-RMN6TP | Same 8K-bit size, 1.7–5.5V range, 400 kHz max speed at ≥2.5V; 8-lead SOIC package only. | Lacks A2-only addressing flexibility; supports only single-device-per-bus unless externally multiplexed. | Preferred for cost-sensitive SOIC-based designs where 400 kHz speed is needed above 2.5V and board space allows larger package. |
| Renesas R1EX24008ASAS0I | 8K-bit, 1.7–5.5V, 1 MHz max clock; supports 32-byte page write; A0/A1/A2 all functional for 8-device addressing. | Higher speed and deeper addressing support - overqualified for simple dual-device topologies using AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8. | Recommended when future scalability to >2 EEPROMs or faster write throughput is anticipated in the same footprint family. |
Compared with M24C08-RMN6TP and R1EX24008ASAS0I, AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 offers optimal balance of 1.8V compatibility, compact MAP packaging, and simplified dual-device addressing - making it ideal for space-constrained industrial and automotive nodes where 100 kHz I²C bandwidth suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 kHz when operated at 1.8V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under "AT24C02A/04A/08A/16A 1.8V" column. Higher frequencies (up to 400 kHz) require VCC ≥ 2.5V, which is outside the guaranteed 1.8V operation window of this variant. The 100 kHz limit ensures timing margin and noise immunity in low-voltage systems.
How many AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 devices can share the same I²C bus?
Up to two AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 devices can operate on a single I²C bus. This is because the AT24C08A uses only the A2 pin for hardware device addressing (A0 and A1 are no-connect), providing two possible states (A2 = low or high). Each state corresponds to a unique 7-bit device address, enabling collision-free communication without software arbitration.
What is the function of the WP pin on AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8, and how is it used?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 provides hardware-level protection against unintended writes. When WP is pulled high to VCC, the entire 8K memory array is write-protected; only read operations are allowed. When WP is grounded, full read/write capability is enabled. This feature is critical for safeguarding calibration data or firmware parameters during power-up sequences or system faults.
Does AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 support partial page writes?
Yes, AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 supports partial page writes. In page write mode, the device accepts 1 to 16 bytes per transaction - the internal address pointer auto-increments after each byte, wrapping within the 16-byte page boundary. This allows flexible updates of non-aligned data blocks without requiring full-page erasure or pre-read-modify-write sequences.
What package type is used for AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8, and what are its key mechanical features?
AT24C08AY1-10YI-1.8 uses the 8Y1 Miniature Array Package (MAP): a 4.90 mm × 3.00 mm body, non-leaded, dual-footprint package compatible with SOIC and TSSOP land patterns. Its bottom-view pinout places VCC, WP, SCL, and SDA on one side and A0–A2/GND on the opposite side, enabling compact routing and thermal performance suitable for dense PCB layouts.
