Product details
Overview
AT24CS02-XHM-B from Microchip Technology is a 2-Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, 1.7V–5.5V supply range, and industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C), used for secure device identification and nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS02-XHM-B datasheet, AT24CS02-XHM-B pinout, AT24CS02-XHM-B application, or AT24CS02-XHM-B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping, I²C timing compliance (100/400 kHz standard/fast mode, 1 MHz FM+ at ≥2.5V), write-protection behavior, and real-world use cases in asset tracking, calibration data storage, and firmware versioning.
Technical Context
The AT24CS02-XHM-B operates as an I²C slave device with hard-wired A0–A2 address inputs enabling up to eight devices on one bus; it supports bidirectional data transfer using open-drain SDA/SCL with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered inputs. Its internal architecture includes dedicated 128-bit read-only serial number memory separate from user EEPROM space.
It implements hardware write protection via the WP pin (GND = enabled, VCC = full-array lock), uses 8-byte page write mode with partial-page capability, and features self-timed write cycles ≤5 ms. Power management includes ultra-low standby current (≤6 μA at 5.5V) and active current ≤3 mA during write operations.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Hardware device address input | Hard-wired to GND or VCC to set LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address; enables multi-device bus addressing (up to 8 units) |
| A1 | Hardware device address input | Hard-wired to GND or VCC to set middle bit of 7-bit I²C slave address; part of cascaded addressing scheme |
| A2 | Hardware device address input | Hard-wired to GND or VCC to set MSB of 7-bit I²C slave address; determines unique bus position among same-family devices |
| GND | Power ground reference | System return path for VCC and all internal logic; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise-induced communication errors |
| SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O | Open-drain interface requiring external pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ); shares bus with other I²C devices via wire-OR topology |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock controlling data sampling (rising edge) and output (falling edge); must be pulled high when idle |
| WP | Hardware write-protect control | Connected to VCC to lock entire memory array against accidental writes; internally pulled down if left floating |
| VCC | Device power supply | Primary voltage source (1.7–5.5V); powers internal high-voltage generation circuit for EEPROM write operations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 128-bit serial number | Permanently written during wafer test; occupies dedicated memory block outside user space and ensures uniqueness across all CS-series EEPROMs |
| Three I²C speed modes | Supports 100 kHz (1.7–5.5V), 400 kHz (1.7–5.5V), and 1 MHz FM+ (2.5–5.5V) - allows optimal timing selection based on system voltage and noise environment |
| Schmitt-triggered, filtered inputs | Reduces susceptibility to bus noise and EMI in electrically noisy industrial settings without requiring external RC filtering |
| 8-byte page write with partial capability | Enables efficient small-data updates (e.g., single register config) without erasing full page - minimizes write latency and wear leveling overhead |
| Ultra-low standby current | Max 6 μA at 5.5V - extends battery life in always-on IoT nodes and portable diagnostic tools where EEPROM remains powered continuously |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | Same 2-Kbit capacity and SOIC-8 package, but lacks factory-programmed 128-bit serial number; uses standard I²C address '1010' only | No built-in serialization - requires external MCU-based ID management or additional secure element for device authentication | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hardware-rooted identity; verify software-level uniqueness handling in firmware stack |
| M95M02-DFMN6TP | 2-Mbit SPI EEPROM (not I²C), 8-lead SOIC, 1.8–5.5V; no serial number; supports 20 MHz SPI clock | Interface mismatch - requires SPI-capable host and driver rewrite; higher density but no native I²C bus compatibility | Choose only if system already uses SPI peripherals and needs larger memory; not drop-in for I²C designs using AT24CS02-XHM-B |
Compared with AT24CS02-XHM-B, AT24C02D-SSHM-T offers identical memory organization and footprint but omits the hardware-secured serial number essential for zero-touch provisioning, while M95M02-DFMN6TP trades I²C simplicity for SPI bandwidth and density - neither provides the combined security, interface compatibility, and factory serialization of the AT24CS02-XHM-B.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP pin on the AT24CS02-XHM-B?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the AT24CS02-XHM-B controls hardware-level memory locking: when tied to VCC, it disables all write operations to the entire 2-Kbit EEPROM array, preventing accidental or malicious overwrites. When grounded, normal read/write functionality is enabled. The pin is internally pulled down if left floating, but Microchip recommends a defined connection for robust operation in noisy environments. This feature directly protects calibration data and firmware metadata stored in AT24CS02-XHM-B.
Does the AT24CS02-XHM-B support 1 MHz I²C communication?
Yes, the AT24CS02-XHM-B supports 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation, but only when VCC is ≥2.5V. At lower supply voltages (1.7V–2.5V), it operates at up to 400 kHz Fast Mode. This dual-speed capability allows designers to maximize throughput in 3.3V/5V systems while maintaining compatibility with low-voltage 1.8V controllers at reduced speed - a key performance differentiator of the AT24CS02-XHM-B versus basic EEPROMs.
How is the 128-bit serial number accessed on the AT24CS02-XHM-B?
Access to the 128-bit serial number on the AT24CS02-XHM-B requires sending an I²C device address byte with the type identifier '1011' (0xBx) instead of the standard '1010' (0xAx) used for user memory. The 16-byte serial number resides in a dedicated, read-only memory block outside the main 256-byte EEPROM array and cannot be altered or erased. This architecture ensures that AT24CS02-XHM-B delivers immutable device identity without consuming user storage space.
What package type does the AT24CS02-XHM-B use?
The AT24CS02-XHM-B uses an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 150-mil body width and standard gull-wing leads. This RoHS-compliant, green package is optimized for surface-mount assembly, supports reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and matches industry-standard footprints for easy integration into existing PCB layouts - confirming its physical identity as a discrete serial EEPROM component, not a module or board-level solution.
Can multiple AT24CS02-XHM-B devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to eight AT24CS02-XHM-B devices can operate on a single I²C bus using hardware address pins A0, A1, and A2. Each pin can be hard-wired to GND or VCC to configure a unique 3-bit hardware address, combining with the fixed '1010' base to form a full 7-bit slave address. This cascading capability enables scalable system design - for example, a single microcontroller can manage distinct calibration profiles across eight sensor nodes, all using AT24CS02-XHM-B for consistent, serialized storage.
