Product details
Overview
AT24C1024BW-SH-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM with 1.8V operation (1.8V–3.6V), 400 kHz clock rate at 1.8V, hardware write protection via WP pin, 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 under low-power conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C1024BW-SH-T datasheet, AT24C1024BW-SH-T pinout, AT24C1024BW-SH-T application, or AT24C1024BW-SH-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.8V supply range, EIAJ SOIC-8 package (8S2), 1,000,000 write endurance per page, 40-year data retention, and support for random/sequential read and page write modes.
Technical Context
The AT24C1024BW-SH-T implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered inputs and open-drain SDA/SCL pins. It uses a 17-bit internal address counter and supports device addressing via A1/A2 pins-enabling up to four devices on one bus.
Its memory is organized into 512 pages of 256 bytes each. Write operations are self-timed (5 ms typical), and software reset is supported via a defined 9-clock-cycle protocol after bus interruption or power loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (131,072 × 8), enabling storage of firmware calibration tables or device configuration data |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 3.6V - compatible with modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers and battery-backed systems |
| Interface Speed | 400 kHz max at 1.8V - sufficient for parameter logging and infrequent configuration updates without timing margin risk |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles per page - supports frequent recalibration or event logging in industrial sensors |
| Data Retention | 40 years at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure monitoring equipment |
| Page Write Size | 256 bytes - allows efficient bulk writes while avoiding excessive write latency per transaction |
| Standby Current | 1.0 µA at 1.8V - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on edge nodes |
Pinout & Package
AT24C1024BW-SH-T is supplied in an 8-lead EIAJ SOIC package (package code 8S2), 0.209" body width, with NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are gull-wing, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines - no electrical function |
| 2 (A1) | Device Address Input | Hardwired high/low or left floating (internally pulled down); selects one of four possible I²C addresses on shared bus |
| 3 (A2) | Device Address Input | Second address bit; used with A1 to configure unique 7-bit device address (0x50–0x53) for multi-device systems |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal logic; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 5 (VCC) | Power Supply | 1.8V–3.6V input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable I²C communication |
| 6 (WP) | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables full read/write access |
| 7 (SCL) | Serial Clock Input | Open-drain, Schmitt-triggered clock line; requires external pull-up (typically 2.2–10 kΩ to VCC) |
| 8 (SDA) | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional data line; shares pull-up with SCL; supports ACK/NACK signaling per I²C protocol |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | 1.8V–3.6V supply range enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and energy-harvesting systems |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin provides tamper-resistant, board-level locking of critical configuration data without firmware involvement |
| 256-byte page write mode | Reduces write transaction overhead by up to 255× vs. byte-write - accelerates firmware update or log buffer commits |
| Noise-suppressed inputs | Schmitt triggers + input filtering reject >100 ns glitches - improves robustness in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| Self-timed write cycle | 5 ms typical internal erase/write eliminates need for host polling delay - simplifies driver implementation |
| Cascadable architecture | A1/A2 inputs allow up to four AT24C1024BW-SH-T devices on one I²C bus - scales storage without additional buses |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C1024BN-SH-T | JEDEC SOIC-8 (8S1) package; same 1.8V operation, pinout, and timing | Requires PCB land pattern change (0.150" vs. 0.209" body width); identical functional behavior | Select when JEDEC SOIC footprint is already standardized in design and thermal/mechanical constraints permit |
| M24C102-RMN6TP | STMicroelectronics 1 Mbit EEPROM; 1.7V–5.5V supply; 1 MHz I²C at 5V; different A0/A1/A2 addressing scheme | Broader voltage range but lacks dedicated WP pin - write protection relies on software-only methods | Choose for designs needing wider supply flexibility or existing ST ecosystem integration, accepting trade-off in hardware-level data security |
Compared with AT24C1024BW-SH-T, AT24C1024BN-SH-T offers identical electrical performance in a narrower SOIC package, while M24C102-RMN6TP trades hardware write protection for extended voltage tolerance - impacting safety-critical configuration integrity.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for AT24C1024BW-SH-T?
The AT24C1024BW-SH-T operates from 1.8V to 3.6V. This 1.8V variant is optimized for ultra-low-power systems and is not rated for 2.5V–5.5V operation - using it outside this range may cause functional failure or reduced reliability. Always verify VCC stability within ±5% during active I²C transactions.
Does AT24C1024BW-SH-T support I²C standard-mode or fast-mode speeds?
AT24C1024BW-SH-T supports standard-mode I²C at up to 400 kHz when powered at 1.8V. It does not support fast-mode (1 MHz) at 1.8V - that speed is only specified for 2.5V and higher variants like AT24C1024BW-SH25-T. Exceeding 400 kHz at 1.8V violates AC timing specs and risks communication errors.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C1024BW-SH-T?
Up to four AT24C1024BW-SH-T devices can share one I²C bus using the A1 and A2 address pins. Each device must have a unique combination (00, 01, 10, or 11) hardwired to GND or VCC. Floating A1/A2 defaults to '00', so explicit termination is required for multi-drop configurations.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on AT24C1024BW-SH-T?
Pin 1 of AT24C1024BW-SH-T is marked NC (No Connect) and is internally unused. It must be left unconnected - tying it to any voltage rail or signal may cause unpredictable behavior. The EIAJ SOIC-8 package uses this pin position for mechanical symmetry but assigns no electrical function to it in this variant.
Can AT24C1024BW-SH-T retain data for 40 years at elevated temperatures?
Yes - the 40-year data retention rating for AT24C1024BW-SH-T is specified at +85°C ambient, verified per JEDEC standards. At lower temperatures (e.g., +25°C), retention exceeds 100 years. This makes it suitable for infrastructure equipment with 20+ year deployment horizons where field replacement is impractical.
