Product details
Overview
AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64K-bit (8192 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with 2.5V to 5.5V supply operation, 10 ms max write cycle time, 1 million write endurance, and 100-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based systems requiring low-voltage compatibility and hardware write protection.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 datasheet, AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 pinout, AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 application, or AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5V minimum VCC rating, 8-pin SOIC package, WP pin-based quadrant write protection, 32-byte page write capability, and 100 kHz I²C clock support at 2.5V.
Technical Context
The AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA and Schmitt-triggered SCL inputs for noise immunity. It uses hardwired A0–A2 pins for device addressing, supporting up to eight devices on a shared bus.
Internal memory is organized into 256 pages of 32 bytes each, enabling partial-page writes and automatic address incrementing within a page boundary. Write operations are self-timed and disable all inputs until completion, requiring acknowledge polling for synchronization.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C64D-SSHM-T | Same 64K-bit capacity and 2.5V–5.5V range, but in 8-pin TSSOP (8T) package; 100 kHz I²C support at 2.5V confirmed | TSSOP offers smaller footprint and better thermal performance than SOIC, suitable for space-constrained PCBs | Select when board layout requires lower profile or higher density; verify mechanical clearance and reflow profile compatibility |
| M24C64-WMN6TP | 64K-bit I²C EEPROM with 1.7V–5.5V range, 10 ms write cycle, and 8-pin SOIC package; supports 400 kHz at ≥2.5V | Wider voltage range and faster clock option enable use with 1.8V logic; identical pinout to AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 | Choose for designs needing 400 kHz I²C speed at 2.5V or backward compatibility with 1.8V systems |
Compared with AT24C64N-10SC-2.5, AT24C64D-SSHM-T provides identical electrical behavior in a smaller TSSOP package, while M24C64-WMN6TP adds 400 kHz capability at 2.5V and extends low-voltage operation to 1.7V-both retain the same 8-pin SOIC-compatible footprint and WP functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 at 2.5V?
The AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 100 kHz when operating at 2.5V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under "2.7-, 2.5-volt" column for fSCL. The device does not support 400 kHz operation at 2.5V - that speed is only guaranteed at VCC ≥ 4.5V.
Does AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its SDA pin is open-drain and SCL is a Schmitt-trigger input without internal pull-ups. Typical values range from 1.8 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and desired rise time, as defined by I²C specification.
How does the WP pin function on AT24C64N-10SC-2.5?
On AT24C64N-10SC-2.5, the WP (Write Protect) pin disables write access to the upper 16K bits (addresses 0x2000–0x3FFF) when pulled high to VCC. When WP is grounded or left floating (internally pulled down), full memory access is enabled. This provides hardware-level protection against unintended writes to critical configuration data.
What is the memory organization of AT24C64N-10SC-2.5?
The AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 organizes its 64K-bit capacity as 8192 words of 8 bits each, arranged in 256 pages of 32 bytes. This structure enables efficient 32-byte page writes and supports random, sequential, and current-address read modes via the I²C interface.
Is AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 compatible with 1.8V I²C systems?
No, AT24C64N-10SC-2.5 is not rated for 1.8V operation. Its suffix "-2.5" specifies a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V (2.5V to 5.5V range). For 1.8V systems, Microchip offers the AT24C64N-10SC-1.8 variant, which is characterized down to 1.8V and supports 100 kHz I²C at that voltage.
