Product details
Overview
AT24C1024BW-SH25-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports 1 MHz clock rate at 5V/2.5V, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and uses 8-lead EIAJ SOIC package with NiPdAu lead finish.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T datasheet, AT24C1024BW-SH25-T pinout, AT24C1024BW-SH25-T application, or AT24C1024BW-SH25-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, pin-level functional roles, real-world use cases in embedded systems, and validated alternative parts for supply continuity and design flexibility.
Technical Context
The AT24C1024BW-SH25-T implements a cascaded two-wire interface supporting up to four devices on a shared bus using A1/A2 address inputs. Its internal architecture includes a 17-bit address counter, 256-byte page buffer, and high-reliability EEPROM array with 1,000,000 write cycles per page and 40-year data retention.
It employs Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA/SCL inputs, open-drain bidirectional data transfer, and self-timed 5 ms typical write cycle. The device enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition or power-up, drawing only 2.0 µA at 2.5V and 6.0 µA at 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (131,072 × 8), enabling storage of firmware patches or calibration data in space-constrained nodes |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with legacy 3.3V/5V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 1 MHz at 2.5V/5V - enables faster configuration loading than standard 400 kHz I²C EEPROMs |
| Page Write Capacity | 256-byte pages - reduces write transaction count by 256× vs byte-write, cutting system latency |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles per page - supports frequent field updates in metering or logging applications |
| Data Retention | 40 years at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability in industrial control panels and outdoor equipment |
| Standby Current | 2.0 µA at 2.5V - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems |
Pinout & Package
AT24C1024BW-SH25-T is housed in an 8-lead EIAJ SOIC package (package code 8S2), 0.209" body width, with NiPdAu lead finish for enhanced solderability and corrosion resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded die pad; must remain floating - no external connection or pull-up/pull-down |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Hardwired logic level sets bit-1 of 3-bit device address; enables multi-drop bus addressing up to 4 devices |
| A2 | Device Address Input | Hardwired logic level sets bit-2 of 3-bit device address; used with A1 for unique I²C slave addressing |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and all I/O; requires low-impedance PCB plane for noise immunity in mixed-signal systems |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5V–5.5V input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable operation |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; floating defaults to GND via internal pull-down |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock; requires external pull-up; max 1 MHz frequency defines timing budget for host MCU |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shared across I²C bus; requires external pull-up and noise filtering per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-wire (I²C) interface | Fully compliant with Philips I²C protocol - enables direct integration with ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and ESP32 hosts without bridge ICs |
| 256-byte page write mode | Reduces firmware update time by >99% vs sequential byte writes - critical for OTA configuration rollouts |
| Schmitt-triggered, filtered inputs | Rejects >100 ns noise spikes on SDA/SCL - eliminates false START/STOP detection in electrically noisy factory environments |
| Hardware + software write protection | WP pin + internal lock bits allow layered security: WP blocks all writes; software locks protect specific memory regions |
| 17-bit addressing with page rollover | Supports seamless sequential reads across 131K-word boundary - simplifies bootloader and parameter table access logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C1024BN-SH25-T | Same 1 Mbit capacity, 2.5V–5.5V, 1 MHz, but in JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package - 0.150" width vs 0.209" | Preferred where board space allows smaller footprint or existing JEDEC SOIC land pattern is fixed | Select when footprint compatibility with legacy Atmel SOIC designs is required; identical electrical behavior |
| M24M01-DFMN6TP | STMicroelectronics 1 Mbit EEPROM, 1.7V–5.5V, 1 MHz, TSSOP8 (8A2); no A1/A2 pins - fixed I²C address 0x50 | Suitable for single-device systems; lacks multi-drop addressing capability of AT24C1024BW-SH25-T | Choose when simplified address management is acceptable and TSSOP8 mechanical fit is preferred |
Compared with AT24C1024BN-SH25-T, the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T offers wider EIAJ SOIC body for improved thermal dissipation and mechanical stability; versus M24M01-DFMN6TP, it provides flexible multi-device bus addressing via A1/A2 but requires additional PCB routing for those pins.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T?
The AT24C1024BW-SH25-T operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller I/O domains. This dual-voltage capability eliminates the need for level shifters in mixed-voltage systems and supports legacy 5V industrial designs while maintaining low-power efficiency at 2.5V minimum.
Does the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T support multi-device I²C bus configurations?
Yes, the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T supports up to four devices on a single I²C bus using its A1 and A2 address input pins. These pins configure the two least-significant bits of the 7-bit slave address, enabling hardware-selectable addressing without external jumpers or configuration registers - a key advantage over fixed-address EEPROMs like the M24M01.
What is the maximum write speed and page size of the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T?
The AT24C1024BW-SH25-T supports a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz at 2.5V/5V and implements 256-byte page writes. A full-page write completes in ≤5 ms, allowing up to 256 bytes to be programmed in a single I²C transaction - significantly reducing host MCU overhead compared to byte-wise writes.
How does hardware write protection work on the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T?
Hardware write protection on the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T is controlled by the WP pin: when tied to VCC, all write operations (byte, page, and erase) are inhibited. When grounded or left floating (internally pulled down), normal write functionality is enabled. This provides a fail-safe mechanism independent of firmware state - critical for preventing corruption during brown-out or reset conditions.
Is the AT24C1024BW-SH25-T qualified for automotive or extended temperature applications?
The AT24C1024BW-SH25-T is specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While widely used in automotive body control modules due to its robustness, formal automotive qualification requires validation per customer-specific stress testing; for safety-critical applications, consult Microchip's automotive-grade variants such as the AT24C1024B-MAH-T.
