Product details
Overview
AT24CS02-XHM-T 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 operation, and hardware write protection via WP pin - deployed in industrial sensor calibration, secure boot credential storage, and embedded device identity management.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS02-XHM-T datasheet, AT24CS02-XHM-T pinout, AT24CS02-XHM-T application, or AT24CS02-XHM-T equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed uniqueness of the 128-bit serial number across all CS-series devices, Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz) support at ≥2.5V, and 8-lead UDFN package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT24CS02-XHM-T operates as an I²C slave device with fixed 7-bit address prefix 0b1010 for main memory and 0b1011 for serial number access. It implements Schmitt-triggered, filtered SDA/SCL inputs and internal pull-downs on A0/A1/A2/WP pins to ensure robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
Its memory architecture supports byte and 8-byte page writes with self-timed erase/write cycles ≤5 ms, and includes dedicated hardware write protection that disables all memory writes when WP = VCC - independent of software control or I²C command state.

Pinout & Package
AT24CS02-XHM-T is supplied in an 8-pad UDFN (2 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection (AOI). The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and may be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Hardware slave address input | Hardwired to GND or VCC to configure one of eight possible I²C addresses (0x50–0x57); internally pulled down if floating |
| A1 | Hardware slave address input | Second bit of 3-bit hardware address; enables multi-device bus topology without software address conflict |
| A2 | Hardware slave address input | Third bit of 3-bit hardware address; allows up to eight AT24CS02-XHM-T devices on same I²C bus |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| SDA | Bidirectional open-drain data line | Requires external pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ); supports wire-OR with other I²C devices; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| SCL | Input clock line | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches input data, falling edge outputs data; filtered and Schmitt-triggered |
| WP | Hardware write-protect enable | Logic high (VCC) disables all write operations to main memory - provides tamper-resistant configuration lock |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–5.5V; internal POR circuit enforces 100 µs delay after stable VCC before accepting commands |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24CS02-SSHM-T | Same die, 8-lead SOIC package (5.0 mm × 4.0 mm); no wettable flanks; 0.5 mm lead pitch | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy reflow profiles incompatible with UDFN thermal mass | Select when board assembly uses SOIC-compatible pick-and-place or requires manual rework accessibility. |
| M24C02-RMN6TP | 2-Kbit I²C EEPROM with 1.7–5.5V operation but no factory serial number; 8-lead TSSOP package | Lacks hardware-unique ID - requires external serialization infrastructure for device identity use cases | Select only when serial number functionality is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs traceability requirements. |
Compared with AT24CS02-XHM-T, the AT24CS02-SSHM-T offers identical electrical and functional behavior in a larger SOIC package ideal for development, while M24C02-RMN6TP sacrifices the critical 128-bit unique serial number - making it unsuitable for secure identity or zero-touch provisioning systems requiring guaranteed uniqueness.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed serial number capability of the AT24CS02-XHM-T?
The AT24CS02-XHM-T contains a permanently programmed, read-only 128-bit serial number that is globally unique across all CS-series EEPROMs - including AT24CS01, AT24CS02, and future variants. This serial number resides in a dedicated memory block outside the user-accessible 2-Kbit array and is programmed during Microchip's wafer-level test process. It cannot be altered, erased, or overwritten after shipment, and requires a distinct I²C address prefix (0b1011) for access.
Does the AT24CS02-XHM-T support 1 MHz I²C communication?
Yes, the AT24CS02-XHM-T supports Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation at up to 1 MHz - but only when VCC is between 2.5V and 5.5V. At lower supply voltages (1.7V–2.5V), maximum speed is limited to 400 kHz (Fast mode). The device automatically adapts to the bus speed negotiated by the master, and its Schmitt-triggered, filtered SDA/SCL inputs maintain signal integrity at full FM+ rates.
How does the WP pin function on the AT24CS02-XHM-T?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the AT24CS02-XHM-T provides hardware-level write inhibition: when driven to VCC, it disables all write operations to the main 2-Kbit memory array - including byte, page, and sequential writes - regardless of I²C command content. When WP is at GND or left floating (internally pulled down), normal write functionality is enabled. This feature is independent of software control and cannot be overridden by I²C commands.
What package type is used for the AT24CS02-XHM-T?
The AT24CS02-XHM-T is packaged in an 8-pad UDFN (Ultra Thin Dual Flat No-lead) measuring 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and wettable flank leads. The exposed thermal pad is internally connected to GND and is designed for soldering to the PCB ground plane to enhance thermal dissipation and EMI performance - critical for dense, thermally constrained industrial PCB layouts.
What is the data retention and endurance specification for the AT24CS02-XHM-T?
The AT24CS02-XHM-T guarantees 100 years of data retention at 55°C and 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per memory location - both validated per JEDEC standards at 3.3V and 25°C. These specifications apply to the entire 2-Kbit memory array (256 × 8 bits) and are unaffected by use of the 128-bit serial number region, which is read-only and not subject to wear-out mechanisms.
