Product details
Overview
AT24C128W-10SU-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 1 million write cycles with 40-year data retention. It is used in embedded systems for parameter storage, calibration data logging, and configuration backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 datasheet, AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 pinout, AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 application, or AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the official 0670T–SEEPR–3/07 datasheet and Microchip's ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 implements a standard two-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with open-drain SDA and edge-triggered SCL, supporting cascaded operation of up to four devices on one bus using A0/A1 address inputs. Its internal architecture organizes memory as 256 pages of 64 bytes each, enabling partial-page writes and automatic address roll-over within pages.
It integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs and noise-filtered logic for robust operation in electrically noisy environments. The device enters low-power standby mode after STOP condition receipt and supports acknowledge polling during internal write cycles - critical for deterministic firmware timing in real-time systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8), sufficient for storing firmware configuration, sensor calibration tables, or device identity data in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifting. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 400 kHz at 2.7 V - enables fast parameter updates while maintaining timing margin under marginal VCC conditions. |
| Write Cycle Time | Max 5 ms (process "B" devices) - defines minimum delay between write commands; impacts firmware latency in high-frequency update scenarios. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 40 years data retention - validated for long-life industrial deployments requiring frequent nonvolatile updates. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade environmental stress without derating. |
| Package | 8-lead EIAJ SOIC (8S2), 0.209" body width - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 is packaged in an 8-lead EIAJ SOIC (8S2) - a gull-wing, plastic small-outline IC with 0.209" body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish, and green marking ("U" suffix). Dimensions per EIAJ EDR-7320: D = 5.13–5.35 mm, E = 7.70–8.26 mm, e = 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardwired low/high or left floating (internally pulled down); selects one of four possible I²C addresses (1010000x to 1010011x) for multi-device bus sharing. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Same function as A0; combined with A0, enables up to four AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 devices on a single I²C bus without address conflict. |
| NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB - no pull-up, pull-down, or routing required. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane to ensure noise immunity and stable I²C signaling. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply input; bypassing with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near the pin is mandatory for stable operation during write cycles. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes; tied to GND enables normal read/write; floating defaults to GND via internal bias if board coupling <3 pF. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock for data transfer; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) to VCC; rise/fall times ≤50 ns specified. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line; shared across multiple I²C devices; requires same pull-up as SCL and supports wire-OR logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 64-byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst programming of up to 64 bytes per write cycle - reduces firmware overhead and total write time vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Provides hysteresis on SCL/SDA/A0/A1 pins, rejecting sub-microsecond noise spikes common in motor-driven or switching power supply environments. |
| Hardware + Software Write Protection | WP pin blocks all writes when high; software control via I²C command allows selective locking of memory regions in firmware-managed configurations. |
| Self-timed Internal Write Cycle | Eliminates need for external timing control - host MCU can poll ACK or insert fixed 5 ms delay, simplifying driver implementation. |
| Extended Temperature Support | Validated for –40°C to +85°C operation - suitable for outdoor, automotive under-hood, and factory automation applications without thermal derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C128B-SSHL-T | Successor part with identical 128 Kbit density, 2.5–5.5 V range, and 8-lead SOIC package; improved AC specs and enhanced ESD robustness (4 kV HBM). | Recommended for new designs per Microchip; supports same I²C protocol and pinout but requires validation of tWR (5 ms) and WP behavior under low-VCC brownout. | Select when designing new products - offers extended lifecycle support and tighter timing margins than AT24C128W-10SU-2.7. |
| M24C128-WMN6TP | STMicroelectronics 128 Kbit EEPROM in 8-lead SOIC; 1.8–5.5 V operation, 1 MHz max clock at 5 V, and 1 M write cycles - but no 2.7 V–specific AC characterization. | Broader voltage flexibility (1.8 V min) suits ultra-low-power nodes; however, its 2.7 V timing specs differ (tLOW/tHIGH tighter), requiring bus timing recalculation. | Choose for mixed-voltage systems needing 1.8 V compatibility; verify SCL timing margins at 2.7 V using ST's AN2845 application note. |
Compared with AT24C128W-10SU-2.7, the AT24C128B-SSHL-T offers documented long-term availability and enhanced reliability for new designs, while the M24C128-WMN6TP extends voltage range downward at the cost of revalidating I²C timing at 2.7 V - making the original part optimal for legacy industrial replacements where footprint and timing are frozen.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 at 2.7 V?
The AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.7 V, as specified in Table 5 (AC Characteristics – Extended Temperatures) of the 0670T–SEEPR–3/07 datasheet. This is lower than its 1 MHz capability at 5 V but ensures robust timing margins under marginal supply conditions. Exceeding 400 kHz at 2.7 V may cause setup/hold violations and communication failures.
Does AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 support page write operations, and what is the page size?
Yes, AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 supports 64-byte page write operations. Memory is internally organized as 256 pages of 64 bytes each, allowing up to 64 sequential bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction. This reduces firmware overhead versus byte-write mode and improves effective write throughput - critical for logging or bulk configuration updates.
How is the device address determined for AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 on the I²C bus?
The AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 uses a 7-bit device address starting with '1010' followed by two programmable bits (A1, A0) and a read/write bit. With A0 and A1 hardwired or floating (internally pulled low), the base address becomes 1010000x, enabling up to four devices (10100000–10100011) on the same I²C bus. The full address byte is sent after START and before data transmission.
Is AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 pin-compatible with AT24C128B-SSHL-T?
Yes, AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 and AT24C128B-SSHL-T share identical 8-lead EIAJ SOIC (8S2) packaging and pinout - A0, A1, NC, GND, VCC, WP, SCL, SDA in the same physical layout. However, AT24C128B-SSHL-T is the recommended successor with updated AC characteristics and longer-term supply assurance; migration requires validation of tWR and WP response under low-VCC conditions.
What does the "U" suffix in AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 indicate?
The "U" suffix in AT24C128W-10SU-2.7 denotes a green, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free package per Microchip's ordering nomenclature (Note 2, page 13). It confirms lead-free terminations, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3, and suitability for lead-free reflow soldering - essential for modern electronics manufacturing compliance.
