Product details
Overview
AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an 8K-bit (1024 × 8) serial EEPROM with I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V, featuring 10 ms max self-timed write cycle, 1 million write endurance, and 100-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based systems requiring low-voltage operation and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 datasheet, AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 pinout, AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 application, or AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.5V–5.5V supply range, 16-byte page write capability, write-protect pin hardware control, SOIC-8 package, and compatibility with 100 kHz I²C bus timing at 2.5V.
Technical Context
The AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 implements a standard I²C protocol with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and bi-directional data transfer. Its internal memory is organized into 64 pages of 16 bytes each, supporting both byte and page write modes with automatic address incrementing within pages.
Device addressing uses only the A2 pin (A0 and A1 are NC), enabling up to two AT24C08 devices on a shared bus. The WP pin provides hardware-level write protection: tied to VCC, it locks the full 8K array; tied to GND, full read/write access is enabled.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | No Connect | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected or tied to GND/VCC (no effect) |
| A1 | No Connect | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected or tied to GND/VCC (no effect) |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired address bit; selects one of two possible addresses (0 or 1) on shared I²C bus |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and I/O signals |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary DC supply input (2.5V–5.5V); decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Hardware lock: VCC = full-array protection; GND = normal read/write access |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data synchronization; open-drain, requires external pull-up |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bi-directional open-drain data line; shares bus with other I²C devices via wire-OR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-byte Page Write | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by up to 16× vs. byte writes, accelerating bulk configuration updates |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Rejects high-frequency noise on SCL/SDA lines, improving robustness in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| Hardware Write Protection | Prevents accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware glitches via simple WP pin tie-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C08D-SSHM-T | Same 8K-bit capacity, SOIC-8, 2.5V–5.5V, but rated for –40°C to +125°C and offered by Microchip in tape-and-reel only | Targeted at extended-temperature automotive under-hood use, not industrial ambient | Select if operating beyond +85°C or requiring AEC-Q200 alignment |
| M24C08-RMN6TP | 8K-bit, SOIC-8, 1.7V–5.5V, 400 kHz max I²C speed, 1M endurance, but no dedicated WP pin - write protection implemented via software address locking | Lacks hardware write protect; requires firmware coordination for secure writes | Choose when higher-speed 400 kHz operation at 2.5V is needed and WP pin is not mandatory |
Compared with AT24C08N-10SI-2.5, AT24C08D-SSHM-T extends temperature range for harsh environments, while M24C08-RMN6TP trades hardware WP for wider voltage range and faster I²C - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping configuration-storage roles with distinct trade-offs in protection, speed, and thermal rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 at 2.5V?
The AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.5V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under "2.7-, 2.5-, 1.8-volt" conditions. At 5.0V, it supports 400 kHz, but the -2.5 suffix denotes optimization for the lower-voltage domain where 100 kHz is the guaranteed maximum rate.
Is AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 pin-compatible with AT24C08-10SI-2.5?
Yes, AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 is pin-compatible with AT24C08-10SI-2.5. Both use identical 8-lead SOIC packaging and share identical pin functions (A2, WP, SCL, SDA, VCC, GND, A0/A1 as NC). The "N" suffix indicates a minor revision or packaging variant (e.g., lead-free, tape-and-reel), not functional or pinout differences.
How does the write-protect (WP) pin function on AT24C08N-10SI-2.5?
On AT24C08N-10SI-2.5, the WP pin enables hardware-level write protection: when tied to VCC, the entire 8K-bit memory array is locked against writes; when tied to GND, full read/write access is permitted. This behavior is independent of I²C commands and provides fail-safe protection during power-up or firmware faults.
What is the page size and maximum burst length for write operations on AT24C08N-10SI-2.5?
The AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 has a 16-byte page size. A single page write operation can transmit up to 16 sequential bytes starting from any address aligned to a page boundary. Attempting to write beyond the page boundary causes wraparound to the start of the same page, overwriting prior data unless explicitly managed by firmware.
Does AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C08N-10SI-2.5 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 desired rise time; Microchip recommends 4.7 kΩ for standard-mode (100 kHz) operation at 2.5V.
