Product details
Overview
AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8) two-wire serial EEPROM optimized for low-power, 1.8 V operation (1.8 V to 3.6 V supply). It supports 100 kHz I²C bus speed at 1.8 V, features hardware write protection via the WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 40-year data retention. It is used in battery-powered IoT sensors and embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 datasheet, AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 pinout, AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 application, or AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, package mapping to 8-lead SAP, I²C timing constraints at 1.8 V, and validated alternative parts for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) designs.
Technical Context
The AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with open-drain SDA and Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs for noise immunity. It uses internal address latching and auto-incrementing during sequential reads, supporting byte and 64-byte page writes with self-timed internal write cycles (max 5 ms).
It operates exclusively in the 1.8 V to 3.6 V range and is qualified for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C). The "W" suffix denotes EIAJ SOIC package compatibility, and "SU" confirms RoHS-compliant, halogen-free green packaging - specifically the 8-lead Small Array Package (SAP), per ordering code documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbit (16,384 words × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware parameter tables or calibration data in compact embedded systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V; enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families without level shifting. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8 V; defines maximum sustained data throughput of ~10 KB/s in page-write mode. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles; supports frequent logging or runtime configuration updates over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | 40 years at 85°C; ensures long-term reliability in unattended industrial deployments. |
| Page Write Size | 64 bytes; reduces I²C transaction overhead versus byte writes, improving efficiency in burst data storage. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; validated for use in automotive cabin modules and industrial controllers. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 is packaged in an 8-lead Small Array Package (SAP), 6.00 mm × 4.90 mm body, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free ("U" suffix). Pin 1 is marked by an index area on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power Supply | Connects to 1.8–3.6 V rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm for stable I²C operation. |
| WP | Hardware Write Protect | Pulled high to VCC to disable all writes; floating or pulled low enables full read/write access. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 100 kHz I²C clock with Schmitt-trigger input; requires external pull-up to VCC (10 kΩ typical at 1.8 V). |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares bus with other I²C devices; requires same pull-up as SCL. |
| A0, A1 | Device Address Inputs | Hardwired or left floating (internally pulled down); set slave address bits for up to four devices on one bus. |
| NC | No Connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return; should be tied directly to low-impedance ground plane beneath package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8 V Operation | Enables integration into ultra-low-power systems powered by single-cell Li-ion or coin cells without voltage translation. |
| 64-byte Page Write | Reduces I²C protocol overhead by up to 63× versus byte writes, accelerating bulk configuration updates. |
| Schmitt-trigger Inputs | Rejects fast transient noise on SCL/SDA lines, eliminating false clocking or bus lockup in electrically noisy environments. |
| Hardware Write Protection | Prevents accidental or malicious firmware corruption during field operation via simple WP pin control. |
| Extended Temp Rating | Validated performance across –40°C to +85°C ensures reliable boot-time parameter loading in outdoor or under-hood applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C128B-SSHM-T | Same 128 Kbit density and 1.8 V operation, but in 8-lead SOIC (JEDEC) package; supports 400 kHz at 1.8 V. | Higher I²C speed and standardized SOIC footprint simplify board reuse where SAP layout is unavailable. | Select when higher bus bandwidth or legacy SOIC land pattern compatibility is required. |
| M24128-BWMN6TP | 128 Kbit, 1.8–5.5 V operation, 400 kHz max, 8-lead TSSOP package; STMicroelectronics part with identical SAP pinout but different marking. | Broader voltage range and TSSOP package offer flexibility in mixed-voltage designs and tighter board spacing. | Select when dual-voltage support or TSSOP assembly infrastructure is preferred over SAP. |
Compared with AT24C128W-10SU-1.8, AT24C128B-SSHM-T offers faster 400 kHz I²C at 1.8 V and JEDEC SOIC compatibility, while M24128-BWMN6TP provides wider 1.8–5.5 V operation and TSSOP packaging - both retain 1M endurance and 40-year retention but differ in package geometry and speed grading.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 at 1.8 V?
The AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 100 kHz when operated at 1.8 V. This value is specified in Table 4 (AC Characteristics – Industrial Temperatures) of the official datasheet and reflects the timing limit for reliable communication under low-voltage conditions. Exceeding this frequency may result in data corruption or bus arbitration failure.
Does AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 support hardware write protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 supports hardware write protection via the WP (Write Protect) pin. When WP is driven high to VCC, all write operations-including byte, page, and erase-are inhibited. When WP is grounded or left floating (internally pulled down), full read/write access is enabled. This feature is documented in the Pin Description section and ensures robust data integrity in field-deployed systems.
What package type does AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 uses the 8-lead Small Array Package (SAP), designated as 8Y4 in Microchip's ordering guide. Its body measures 6.00 mm × 4.90 mm with a 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is identified by an index area on the top surface, and the package is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, as indicated by the "U" suffix in the part number.
Is AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 suitable for extended temperature applications beyond –40°C to +85°C?
No, AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 is rated only for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. While some AT24Cxx variants (e.g., those marked with process letter "B") support extended temperature (–40°C to +125°C), the AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 is not qualified for operation above +85°C. Its AC and DC characteristics are validated only within the industrial range.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C128W-10SU-1.8, and what determines addressing?
Up to four AT24C128W-10SU-1.8 devices can share a single I²C bus using the A0 and A1 address pins. These pins configure the two least-significant bits of the 7-bit slave address (1010 A1 A0 R/W). Hardwiring A0/A1 to VCC or GND sets unique addresses; floating pins are internally pulled down, defaulting to "00". This addressing scheme is defined in the Device Addressing section of the datasheet.
