Product details
Overview
AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 2.7V to 5.5V operation, 400 kHz clock rate at 2.7V, hardware write protection via WP pin, and 256-byte page write capability. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded controllers, industrial sensors, and power management units requiring reliable data retention over 40 years.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 datasheet, AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 pinout, AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 application, or AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V low-voltage compatibility, 100,000 write cycles per page, 8-lead LAP (8CN3) package, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs, and cascading support for up to two devices on one I²C bus.
Technical Context
The AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 implements a standard I²C-compatible two-wire interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting both byte and 256-byte page writes. Its internal address counter enables current-address and sequential reads without retransmitting the address.
Device addressing uses a fixed 7-bit base plus one hardware-selectable A1 bit, allowing two devices on the same bus. The WP pin provides hardware-level write inhibition when tied to VCC, while floating defaults to GND enabling writes - a design choice critical for field-upgrade safety and factory programming workflows.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (131,072 × 8), sufficient for firmware boot parameters, calibration tables, or device identity storage |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifting |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; self-timed and non-blocking after ACK polling |
| Endurance | 100,000 write cycles per page - enables daily logging over 270+ years before wear-out at worst-case usage |
| Data Retention | 40 years at +85°C - ensures long-term validity of stored calibration or security keys in unpowered systems |
| I²C Clock Rate | 400 kHz at 2.7V - sets maximum throughput of ~40 kB/s for bulk page writes under low-voltage conditions |
| Input Capacitance | SDA: 8 pF, SCL/A1: 6 pF - constrains maximum bus length and pull-up resistor selection for signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 is packaged in an 8-lead Leadless Array Package (LAP), designated 8CN3 (6.0 × 5.0 × 1.04 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines - no routing required |
| 2 (A1) | Device Address Input | Selects LSB of 7-bit device address; hardwired high/low or left floating (default low) to enable dual-device bus sharing |
| 3 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function - avoid routing or soldering |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 5 (VCC) | Power Supply | 2.7–5.5V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) mandatory within 5 mm of pin |
| 6 (WP) | Hardware Write Protect | Active-high inhibit: tie to VCC to lock entire memory; tie to GND or leave floating for normal write access |
| 7 (SCL) | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock for I²C transactions; requires external pull-up and meets tLOW/tHIGH timing at 400 kHz |
| 8 (SDA) | Bi-directional Data I/O | Open-drain bus line shared across multiple devices; requires external pull-up and supports wire-OR logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables robust operation in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor drives, power supplies) by rejecting sub-threshold noise on SCL/SDA |
| Page write mode | 256-byte burst writes reduce I²C transaction overhead by >95% vs. individual byte writes - critical for fast firmware updates |
| Address rollover handling | Automatic wraparound during sequential read/write prevents address overflow faults - simplifies host driver development |
| ACK polling support | Allows host to detect write completion without fixed delays - improves system responsiveness and eliminates blind waiting |
| Internal device reset recovery | Recovers from bus glitches or power loss via 9-clock reset sequence - eliminates need for external POR circuitry |

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 (not I²C); 5 MHz max clock; 5 ms write cycle; SO8 package only | Requires SPI-capable MCU; incompatible with existing I²C bus topology and firmware drivers | Select only if migrating from I²C to SPI architecture and redesigning PCB layout and firmware stack |
| 24AA1025-I/P | Same 1 Mbit I²C EEPROM but in PDIP-8; 1 MHz clock at 5V; identical pinout except NC pins relocated | Direct drop-in replacement for through-hole prototyping or legacy PDIP-based designs; same A1/WP/SDA/SCL functions | Choose for hand-soldered evaluation or backward compatibility with AT24C1024-10PI-2.7 - not for surface-mount production |
Compared with M95M01-RDW6TP and 24AA1025-I/P, the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 uniquely combines I²C compatibility, 8CN3 leadless packaging for high-density layouts, and guaranteed 400 kHz operation at 2.7V - making it optimal for modern compact industrial controllers where bus standardization and board area are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7?
The AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 operates from 2.7V to 5.5V DC. This low-voltage range allows direct integration with 3.3V microcontrollers and ensures reliable functionality during brownout conditions common in battery-powered or industrial power-supply environments. Its 400 kHz I²C clock rate is specified at the 2.7V minimum, unlike many competing EEPROMs that require ≥4.5V for full-speed operation.
How does the WP pin function on the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 provides hardware-level memory locking: when tied to VCC, all write operations (byte, page, or erase) are inhibited; when tied to GND or left floating (internally pulled down), writes are enabled. This dual-mode control enables secure field updates - for example, tying WP to a service-mode GPIO allows temporary write access during maintenance while maintaining default protection during normal operation.
What package type is used for the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7?
The AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 uses the 8-lead Leadless Array Package (LAP), designated 8CN3, measuring 6.0 × 5.0 × 1.04 mm with 1.27 mm pitch. This surface-mount, no-lead package offers superior thermal performance and board-area efficiency compared to SOIC or PDIP variants, making it ideal for compact industrial and medical PCBs where space and automated assembly yield are critical.
Can multiple AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to two AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 devices can share a single I²C bus using the A1 pin for hardware device addressing. When A1 is hardwired high or low, each device responds to a unique 7-bit address; when left floating, both default to the same address and cannot coexist. This cascading capability simplifies multi-parameter storage architectures without requiring bus multiplexers or additional MCU GPIOs.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the AT24C1024-10CI-2.7?
The AT24C1024-10CI-2.7 guarantees 100,000 write cycles per memory page and 40 years of data retention at +85°C ambient temperature. These specifications are measured per JEDEC standards and validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). The 40-year retention ensures calibration data, security keys, or configuration parameters remain intact throughout the expected lifetime of infrastructure-grade equipment.
