Product details
Overview
AT24CS02-SSHM-B from Microchip Technology is a 2-Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V, supporting 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus at 2.5–5.5V, and rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It delivers ultra-low standby current (6 μA max), 1,000,000 write cycles endurance, and 100-year data retention - deployed in secure device authentication and calibration storage for industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS02-SSHM-B datasheet, AT24CS02-SSHM-B pinout, AT24CS02-SSHM-B application, or AT24CS02-SSHM-B equivalent, key selection considerations include its hardware write-protect pin, 8-byte page write capability with ≤5 ms self-timed write cycle, Schmitt-triggered noise-immune I²C interface, and guaranteed uniqueness of the 128-bit serial number across all CS Series devices.
Technical Context
The AT24CS02-SSHM-B operates as an I²C slave device with fixed 7-bit address base '1010' for main memory and '1011' for serial number access. Its internal architecture integrates a high-voltage generation circuit for EEPROM programming, hardware address comparators for multi-device bus support, and power-on reset logic ensuring command rejection until VCC stabilizes ≥1.5V and tPUP ≥100 µs elapses.
It implements bidirectional open-drain I²C communication with SDA latched on SCL rising edge and driven on falling edge, incorporating integrated spike suppression filters and Schmitt triggers on both SCL and SDA. The WP pin provides full-array hardware write protection when tied to VCC, while A0–A2 pins enable up to eight devices per bus via hard-wired addressing.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP pin on the AT24CS02-SSHM-B?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the AT24CS02-SSHM-B enables hardware-level protection of the entire memory array. When tied to VCC, it inhibits all write operations including byte, page, and serial number reads - preventing accidental or malicious modification. If left floating, it defaults to GND (write enabled), but Microchip recommends connecting it to a defined logic level to avoid noise-induced behavior. This feature is integral to the AT24CS02-SSHM-B's role in secure configuration storage.
Does the AT24CS02-SSHM-B support 1 MHz I²C communication?
Yes, the AT24CS02-SSHM-B supports 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation - but only when VCC is between 2.5V and 5.5V. At lower voltages (1.7–2.5V), it operates up to 400 kHz Fast Mode. This dual-speed capability allows the AT24CS02-SSHM-B to maximize throughput in 3.3V/5V systems while maintaining compatibility with 1.8V hosts at reduced speed - critical for mixed-voltage designs.
How is the 128-bit serial number accessed on the AT24CS02-SSHM-B?
The 128-bit serial number on the AT24CS02-SSHM-B is accessed via a dedicated I²C address space using device type identifier '1011' (0xBx) instead of the standard '1010' (0xAx) used for main memory. It resides in a separate, read-only memory block that does not consume user memory space. The AT24CS02-SSHM-B guarantees uniqueness of this value across the entire CS Series, making it ideal for device authentication without external database management.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the AT24CS02-SSHM-B?
The AT24CS02-SSHM-B has a maximum self-timed write cycle time of 5 ms for both byte and page writes, as specified in the official Microchip datasheet DS20006330A. This value is independent of VCC and I²C clock speed, and applies across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). During this period, the device does not acknowledge I²C commands - requiring host firmware to implement acknowledge polling or fixed-delay recovery before subsequent operations on the AT24CS02-SSHM-B.
Is the AT24CS02-SSHM-B RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the AT24CS02-SSHM-B is RoHS compliant and manufactured in green packaging - explicitly stated in the datasheet as "Green Package Options (Lead-free/Halide-free/RoHS compliant)". The 'SSHM-B' suffix denotes an 8-lead SOIC package with matte tin finish, fully compliant with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This ensures suitability for modern automated assembly and environmental compliance requirements in global electronics production involving the AT24CS02-SSHM-B.
