Product details
Overview
AT24C1024BN-SH25-B from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 2.5V operation (2.5V to 5.5V), 1 MHz clock rate, hardware write-protect pin (WP), and 256-byte page write capability. It supports cascading up to four devices on a shared I²C bus and is used in industrial control modules for nonvolatile parameter storage across power cycles.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B datasheet, AT24C1024BN-SH25-B pinout, AT24C1024BN-SH25-B application, or AT24C1024BN-SH25-B equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (2.5–5.5 V), WP pin functionality, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package dimensions, and 1 MHz I²C timing compliance under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT24C1024BN-SH25-B implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered inputs and open-drain SDA/SCL pins supporting bidirectional data transfer. Its internal architecture includes a 17-bit address counter, page-addressable memory organization (512 pages × 256 bytes), and hardware/software write protection via the WP pin.
Device addressing uses two hardwired inputs (A1, A2) enabling up to four devices per bus, while the P0 bit in the device address selects between upper and lower 512K memory blocks. Write operations support both byte and 256-byte page modes, with self-timed internal write cycles completing in 5 ms typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (131,072 × 8), organized as 512 pages of 256 bytes - enables firmware parameter logging without external memory management logic |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting |
| I²C Clock Rate | Up to 1 MHz at 2.5V/5V - supports high-throughput configuration updates in real-time systems |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms typical - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; impacts system responsiveness during bulk writes |
| Endurance & Retention | 1,000,000 write cycles per page / 40-year data retention - suitable for field-deployed equipment requiring long-term reliability without refresh |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial environments including motor drives and PLC backplanes |
| Input Capacitance | SDA: ≤8 pF, A1/SCL: ≤6 pF - ensures signal integrity on long I²C traces with multiple slaves |
Pinout & Package
AT24C1024BN-SH25-B is packaged in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide body, with NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot at the top-left corner of the package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines - no electrical function |
| A1 | Device address input | Hardwired logic level sets bit-1 of 3-bit device address; enables up to four devices on same I²C bus |
| A2 | Device address input | Hardwired logic level sets bit-2 of 3-bit device address; used with A1 for multi-device addressing |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; must be decoupled with ≥100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| WP | Hardware write-protect | Pulled high to VCC to inhibit all writes; pulled low to GND for normal operation - critical for field firmware safety |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Open-drain, Schmitt-triggered; clocks data on rising edge; requires external pull-up resistor (1.3 kΩ @ 5V) |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain, bidirectional, Schmitt-triggered; shares bus with other I²C devices; requires same pull-up as SCL |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 256-byte page write mode | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by up to 255× vs. byte writes - accelerates factory calibration data loading |
| Write protect (WP) pin | Hardware-enforced memory lock prevents accidental overwrites during system boot or debug - eliminates software-only vulnerability |
| 17-bit random addressing | Enables direct access to any byte within 1 Mbit space without sequential scanning - critical for fast lookup tables |
| Internal address counter rollover | Automatically wraps from last byte to first byte on boundary overflow - simplifies circular buffer implementation in firmware |
| 400 kHz (1.8V) / 1 MHz (2.5V/5V) clock support | Allows dynamic speed scaling based on VCC - maintains timing margin across mixed-voltage systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C1024B-TH25-T | TSSOP-8 package (4.4 mm × 3.0 mm), tape-and-reel packaging; identical electrical specs and pinout | Better suited for automated SMT assembly and space-constrained layouts where SOIC footprint is too large | Select when board area is limited or high-volume pick-and-place is required; same schematic design, no layout change needed |
| M95M01-RDW6TP | 1 Mbit SPI interface (not I²C), 2.5–5.5 V, 10 MHz clock, WLCSP-8 package; no A1/A2 address pins | Requires SPI-capable host MCU and different driver stack; lacks multi-device bus sharing capability | Choose only if SPI is preferred over I²C and single-device topology is acceptable; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with AT24C1024B-TH25-T, the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B offers identical functionality in a JEDEC SOIC package optimized for manual prototyping and legacy board compatibility; versus M95M01-RDW6TP, it provides native I²C multi-drop support and pin-for-pin replaceability in existing SOIC footprints.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B?
The AT24C1024BN-SH25-B supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.5V or 5V supply. At 1.8V, the maximum clock rate is 400 kHz. This dual-speed capability allows designers to optimize bus throughput based on system voltage rails without changing firmware timing logic.
Does the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I/O pins are open-drain. For 5V operation, a 1.3 kΩ resistor is recommended; for 1.8V systems, a 10 kΩ resistor is typical. Proper pull-up values ensure reliable signal rise times and noise immunity per I²C specification.
How does the write-protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B?
When the WP pin of the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B is driven high to VCC, all write operations (byte and page) are inhibited - protecting memory contents from accidental or malicious modification. When WP is low (GND), normal write access is enabled. The pin has an internal weak pull-down, but Microchip recommends hardwiring it for deterministic behavior.
Can multiple AT24C1024BN-SH25-B devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to four AT24C1024BN-SH25-B devices can share one I²C bus using the A1 and A2 address inputs. Each device is assigned a unique 3-bit hardware address (bits A2, A1, P0), allowing individual addressing without bus contention. This enables modular system designs with distributed configuration storage.
What is the memory organization of the AT24C1024BN-SH25-B?
The AT24C1024BN-SH25-B organizes its 1 Mbit capacity as 131,072 words of 8 bits each, internally structured into 512 pages of 256 bytes. Addressing requires a 17-bit word address, with the most significant bit (P0) embedded in the device address byte - enabling efficient page-aligned access and wraparound on boundary overflow.
