Product details
Overview
AT24C1024BY7-YH25-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 an 8-lead Ultra Thin Small Array Package (SAP) with NiPdAu lead finish.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T datasheet, AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T pinout, AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T application, or AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V–5.5V supply range, 1 MHz I²C interface speed, 256-byte page write capability, 1,000,000 write endurance per page, and 40-year data retention - critical for firmware storage, calibration data logging, and configuration memory in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) serial interface with open-drain SDA and Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs for noise immunity. It uses A1/A2 address pins to support up to four devices on a shared bus and includes a dedicated WP pin for hardware-level write protection.
Internally organized as 512 pages of 256 bytes each, it supports byte-write, page-write (with automatic address increment within page), current-address read, random-address read, and sequential read modes. Its self-timed write cycle completes in 5 ms typical, and it enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition or power-up.

Pinout & Package
AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T is housed in an 8-lead Ultra Thin Small Array Package (SAP), 6.00 mm × 4.90 mm body, non-leaded, dual footprint, with NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a dot in the top-left corner (viewed from top).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Unused terminal; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines - no internal connection |
| 2 (A1) | Device Address Input | Hardwired logic input enabling up to four AT24C1024B devices on one I²C bus; internally pulled down if floating |
| 3 (A2) | Device Address Input | Second device address bit; used with A1 to configure unique 7-bit I²C slave address (bits A2,A1,P0) |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; requires low-impedance PCB plane for noise immunity |
| 5 (VCC) | Power Supply | 2.5V–5.5V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin for stable operation |
| 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 | Input-only I²C clock line with Schmitt trigger; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) |
| 8 (SDA) | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional data line; shares pull-up with other I²C devices on same bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-wire Serial Interface | Fully compatible with I²C protocol - simplifies integration with ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and ESP32 host MCUs using standard drivers |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Enhanced noise immunity on SCL/SDA lines - eliminates false clock/data transitions in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| 256-byte Page Write Mode | Reduces I²C transaction count by >99% vs. byte-wise writes for bulk updates - cuts firmware update time from seconds to milliseconds |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides tamper-resistant configuration locking - prevents accidental overwrites during system boot or debug sessions |
| 17-bit Addressing | Supports full 131,072-word address space with P0 bit in device address - enables direct access to any location without bank switching |

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 and 2.5V–5.5V range, but in 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package - 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm vs. SAP's 6.0 mm × 4.9 mm | SOIC offers easier hand-soldering and test probe access; SAP targets ultra-thin consumer/portable designs | Select AT24C1024BN-SH25-T for prototyping or cost-sensitive industrial boards where board height is not constrained |
| M95M01-RDW6TP | 1 Mbit SPI EEPROM (not I²C); 2.5V–5.5V supply; 10 MHz SPI clock; no WP pin - uses software write enable (WREN) instead | SPI interface requires 4 signal lines vs. I²C's 2; incompatible protocol stack - mandates MCU driver rewrite | Select M95M01-RDW6TP only when SPI bandwidth >1 MHz is needed and I²C bus loading must be avoided |
Compared with AT24C1024BN-SH25-T, the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T saves 0.5 mm in height and offers identical electrical performance in a space-optimized SAP package; versus M95M01-RDW6TP, it preserves I²C compatibility and hardware write protection - critical for drop-in replacement in existing two-wire designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T?
The AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T supports up to 1 MHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.5V or 5V supply. At 1.8V, the maximum is 400 kHz. This higher speed at 2.5V+ enables faster firmware updates and parameter writes compared to legacy 400 kHz EEPROMs - a key advantage for time-critical embedded applications.
Does the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is input-only with Schmitt trigger. 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 100 pF bus loads.
How does the write protect (WP) pin function on the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T?
When the WP pin of the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T is driven high to VCC, all write operations (byte, page, and erase) are inhibited - protecting stored data from accidental overwrite. When WP is grounded, full read/write access is enabled. If left floating, the pin is internally pulled down, defaulting to write-enabled mode, though Microchip recommends explicit grounding for reliability.
What package type is used for the AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T uses an 8-lead Ultra Thin Small Array Package (SAP), designated 8Y7, measuring 6.00 mm × 4.90 mm with a maximum height of 0.60 mm. Its dual footprint supports compatibility with both SOIC and TSSOP layouts, and the NiPdAu lead finish ensures robust solderability and wire-bonding capability.
Can multiple AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to four AT24C1024BY7-YH25-T devices can share a single I²C bus using hardwired A1 and A2 address pins. These pins configure the two least-significant bits of the 7-bit slave address, allowing unique addressing (e.g., 0x50–0x53). The P0 bit (page select) occupies the third LSB, enabling full 1 Mbit addressing without bus contention.
