Product details
Overview
AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64 Kbit (8192 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, supports 100 kHz I²C bus speed at 2.5V, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in industrial control modules for parameter storage and calibration data backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 datasheet, AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 pinout, AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 application, or AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V minimum supply, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 8-pin SOIC package, page-write capability, and hardware write-protect functionality.
Technical Context
The AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 implements a standard two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and bidirectional data transfer protocol. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random-address, and sequential read modes.
It uses three hardware address pins (A0–A2) to support up to eight devices on a shared bus, and the WP pin enables hardware-level protection of the upper quadrant (16 Kbits) of memory. Device addressing follows the I²C 7-bit format with R/W bit, and acknowledge polling is supported during write cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8192 × 8 bits), organized as 256 pages of 32 bytes each - enables efficient block writes and firmware parameter partitioning. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 2.5V logic systems and backward-compatible with 3.3V/5V buses without level shifting. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 2.5V - ensures reliable timing margin in noise-prone industrial environments with minimal slew rate requirements. |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms maximum - defines worst-case latency before next command; supports system-level timeout handling in real-time firmware. |
| Standby Current | 0.5 µA at 2.5V - reduces power budget impact in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Data Retention | 100 years - guarantees long-term integrity of stored configuration, calibration, or asset ID data across product lifecycle. |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent logging or dynamic parameter updates in telemetry and control nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 is housed in an 8-pin JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package, 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Device Address Input | Hardware-selectable LSB of 3-bit device address; enables multi-drop I²C bus configuration with up to 8 devices. |
| A1 | Device Address Input | Mid-bit of device address; tied high/low or left floating (internally pulled low) to configure unique I²C slave address. |
| A2 | Device Address Input | MSB of device address; determines position in 0x50–0x57 I²C address range when combined with A1/A0. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance to maintain noise immunity on SDA/SCL lines. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power input (2.5V–5.5V); powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: when tied to VCC, prevents writes to upper 16 Kbits (addresses 0x2000–0x3FFF). |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge sampled clock for data-in; negative-edge sampled for data-out; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain data line; shared across multiple I²C devices; requires external pull-up resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 32-byte page write mode | Enables burst programming of up to 32 bytes per transaction, reducing I²C overhead and improving firmware update efficiency. |
| Schmitt-trigger, filtered inputs | Rejects fast transients and EMI-induced glitches on SDA/SCL, eliminating need for external RC filtering in harsh industrial settings. |
| Hardware write protection (WP) | Prevents accidental overwrites of critical calibration or security data without software intervention or MCU involvement. |
| 100-year data retention | Eliminates need for periodic refresh or backup power in unattended deployments such as remote sensors or utility meters. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microchip AT24C64D-SSHM-T | Same 64 Kbit capacity, 2.5V–5.5V supply, but in 8-pin TSSOP (8T) package; 100 kHz I²C speed; identical WP and page-write functionality. | TSSOP offers smaller footprint and better thermal performance; no PDIP/SOIC pinout compatibility. | Select when board space is constrained and reflow assembly is used; verify PCB land pattern matches 8T dimensions. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C64WI-GT3 | 64 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7V–5.5V supply, 400 kHz max speed at ≥2.5V, same 8-pin SOIC package, but rated for industrial temp only (−40°C to +85°C). | Wider voltage range and higher speed support; slightly lower standby current (0.3 µA @ 2.5V) but same endurance and retention. | Choose for designs requiring faster I²C throughput or extended low-voltage operation down to 1.7V. |
Compared with AT24C64N-10SI-2.5, AT24C64D-SSHM-T offers identical electrical behavior in a smaller TSSOP package, while CAT24C64WI-GT3 provides broader voltage tolerance and higher bus speed-both require validation of WP pin behavior and page-write timing against system firmware.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AT24C64N-10SI-2.5?
The AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the datasheet's "Ordering Information" table, where the "-SI" suffix explicitly denotes the industrial grade. The device undergoes screening and characterization across this full range for parameters including write cycle time, standby current, and I²C timing margins.
Does AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 support 400 kHz I²C communication?
No, AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 supports up to 100 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 2.5V. The datasheet specifies 100 kHz compatibility for 1.8V, 2.5V, and 2.7V versions, while 400 kHz is only guaranteed for the 5.0V version (e.g., AT24C64-10PC). Using 400 kHz at 2.5V may result in timing violations or communication failures.
How many devices can share the same I²C bus with AT24C64N-10SI-2.5?
Up to eight AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 devices can share a single I²C bus using the A0, A1, and A2 address pins. These three pins form a 3-bit hardware address, allowing unique 7-bit slave addresses from 0x50 to 0x57. All pins may be hardwired or left floating (internally pulled low), enabling flexible multi-device topology without software address remapping.
What is the function of the WP pin on AT24C64N-10SI-2.5?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 provides hardware-level inhibition of write operations to the upper quadrant (16 Kbits, addresses 0x2000–0x3FFF) when driven high to VCC. When tied to GND or left unconnected (internally pulled down), full memory access is enabled. This feature safeguards critical calibration or security data independent of firmware state.
What is the maximum page write size for AT24C64N-10SI-2.5?
The AT24C64N-10SI-2.5 supports a maximum page write size of 32 bytes. Memory is internally organized into 256 pages of 32 bytes each. Attempting to write more than 32 bytes in a single page-write transaction causes the address to roll over within the same page, potentially overwriting earlier data in that page.
