Product details
Overview
AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, supports 400 kHz I²C bus speed at 2.7V, features hardware write protection via the WP pin, and delivers 100,000 write cycles with 40-year data retention - used in embedded system configuration storage, sensor calibration data logging, and power meter firmware parameter backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 application, or AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 8-pin SOIC (8S2) package, 64-byte page write capability, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs, and compatibility with standard I²C controllers without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) serial interface with open-drain SDA and active-high SCL, supporting device addressing via A0/A1 pins for up to four devices on one bus. Its memory is organized as 256 pages of 64 bytes each, with internal address auto-increment during sequential reads and page-boundary roll-over during writes.
It uses a self-timed internal write cycle (max 10 ms), supports acknowledge polling for write completion detection, and integrates input filtering and Schmitt-trigger inputs to suppress EMI in noisy industrial environments. The WP pin enables hardware-level write protection, while floating A0/A1 pins default to logic low for backward compatibility with AT24C32/64.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8) nonvolatile EEPROM - stores boot configuration, calibration coefficients, or event logs across power cycles. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - interoperable with 3.3V microcontrollers and legacy 5V systems without external regulators. |
| I²C speed | 400 kHz max at 2.7V - enables fast parameter updates in real-time control loops without bus contention. |
| Write endurance | 100,000 write cycles - supports daily firmware updates or sensor recalibration over 27 years of operation. |
| Data retention | 40 years at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability in sealed industrial enclosures with no maintenance access. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for use in outdoor utility meters, factory automation PLCs, and automotive body control modules. |
| Page write size | 64-byte page mode - reduces write latency vs. byte-write; partial page writes allowed for efficient small-data updates. |
| ESD protection | >4000V HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events in manufacturing and field service environments. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead, 0.200" wide Plastic Gull Wing Small Outline Package (EIAJ SOIC), designated as package code 8S2 per Microchip's ordering information. Dimensions: 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm × 1.75 mm (L × W × H), with 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device address input | Hardwired low/high or left floating (defaults low); selects 1 of 4 possible addresses on shared I²C bus. |
| A1 | Device address input | Same function as A0; combined with A0, enables up to four AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 devices on one 2-wire bus. |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB - no pull-up/down or routing required. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VCC | Power supply | Primary DC supply (2.7–5.5 V); bypassing with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory for stable operation. |
| WP | Write protect control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND or floating enables full read/write access. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Positive-edge sampled clock for I²C communication; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ). |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain data line; shares pull-up with SCL or uses dedicated resistor; supports multi-master arbitration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2.7V supply - eliminates need for voltage translators when interfacing with 3.3V MCUs in battery-backed systems. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis on SCL/SDA - rejects transient noise up to 300 mV peak-to-peak, critical for factory-floor or motor-drive proximity. |
| 64-byte page write | Reduces average write time by 94% vs. byte-write for 64-byte blocks - accelerates firmware patching or bulk sensor data logging. |
| Hardware write protection | Dedicated WP pin with internal pull-down - prevents accidental overwrites during power-up glitches or firmware bugs without software overhead. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Qualified from –40°C to +85°C - validated for continuous operation in unheated outdoor cabinets or under-hood automotive ECUs. |
| High-reliability EEPROM | 100,000 write cycles and 40-year retention at +85°C - exceeds IEC 60730 Class B requirements for safety-critical embedded storage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C128-WMN6TP | Same 128Kbit size, 2.5–5.5V supply, 400 kHz I²C, industrial temp, but uses 8-lead SO8 (JEDEC SOIC, 150 mil) package - pinout identical to AT24C128W-10SI-2.7. | Identical functional role; differs only in manufacturer-specific AC timing margins and ESD rating (4kV HBM vs. 4kV HBM - same spec). | Select when dual-sourcing is required or ST distribution channels offer better lead times; drop-in replacement with no layout change. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C128WI-GT3 | 128Kbit, 1.7–5.5V supply, 400 kHz I²C, industrial temp, 8-lead SOIC (150 mil), but lacks dedicated WP pin - write protection implemented only via software address locking. | Not suitable where hardware-level write lock is mandated (e.g., IEC 62366 usability validation); requires firmware changes to emulate WP behavior. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs hardware security needs; not recommended for safety-critical or regulated equipment. |
Compared with M24C128-WMN6TP and CAT24C128WI-GT3, the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 provides guaranteed hardware write protection and tighter tAA (0.05 µs typical) for faster read response - critical in time-constrained boot sequences and deterministic control loops.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7?
The AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operating within its 2.7V to 5.5V supply range. This is confirmed in the AC Characteristics table for the "2.7V" option, where fSCL max = 400 kHz. It does not support 1 MHz operation - that rating applies only to 5.0V versions like AT24C128-10CC.
Does the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 have a built-in write protect feature?
Yes, the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 includes a dedicated Write Protect (WP) pin. When WP is driven high to VCC, all write operations to the memory array are inhibited. If left unconnected, WP is internally pulled down to GND, enabling normal read/write functionality. This hardware-level protection is independent of software commands.
What package type is used for the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7?
The AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 uses an 8-lead, 0.200" wide Plastic Gull Wing Small Outline Package (EIAJ SOIC), designated as package code 8S2. Its dimensions are 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm × 1.75 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch, and it is rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7?
Up to four AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 devices can be connected to a single I²C bus using the A0 and A1 address input pins. Each device is assigned a unique 2-bit hardware address (00, 01, 10, or 11), allowing individual addressing without bus contention or software arbitration overhead.
What is the write endurance and data retention specification for the AT24C128W-10SI-2.7?
The AT24C128W-10SI-2.7 guarantees 100,000 write/erase cycles and 40 years of data retention at +85°C. These values are specified in the "High Reliability" section and confirmed in the DC Characteristics table under Endurance and Data Retention notes - validated across the full industrial temperature range.
