Product details
Overview
AT24CS04-STUM-T from Microchip Technology is a 4-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, organized as 512 × 8 bits, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V, and rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It supports 100 kHz/400 kHz/1 MHz I²C modes, includes hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers ultra-low standby current (6 μA max) for battery-powered asset tracking and secure device identification.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS04-STUM-T datasheet, AT24CS04-STUM-T pinout, AT24CS04-STUM-T application, or AT24CS04-STUM-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed uniqueness of the 128-bit serial number across all CS-series EEPROMs, support for Fast Mode Plus at 2.5–5.5V, page-write capability with ≤5 ms self-timed cycle, and compatibility with space-constrained designs using the 8-pad UDFN package.
Technical Context
The AT24CS04-STUM-T implements a two-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA/SCL inputs and internal pull-downs on A1/A2/WP pins. Its memory array is partitioned into 32 pages of 16 bytes each, enabling partial-page writes and sequential reads without address wraparound.
It integrates a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit with 1.5 V threshold and requires ≥100 µs delay after stable VCC before first command; write protection is implemented via dedicated WP pin tied to VCC (full-array lock) or GND (normal operation), independent of software control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C04D-SSHM-T | Same 4-Kbit capacity, but lacks factory-programmed 128-bit serial number; uses standard I²C addressing only | No built-in device identity - requires external serialization or MCU-based UID generation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for guaranteed hardware uniqueness |
| M95040-DRMN6TP/K | 4-Kbit SPI interface (not I²C); 2.5–5.5V supply; no factory serial number; 5-ms write cycle | Requires SPI-capable host; incompatible bus protocol prevents drop-in replacement | Choose only if existing design uses SPI peripherals and board layout cannot accommodate I²C routing |
Compared with AT24CS04-STUM-T, AT24C04D-SSHM-T offers identical memory density and voltage range but omits the tamper-proof serial number - making it unsuitable for secure authentication. M95040-DRMN6TP/K mandates SPI hardware changes and lacks hardware-level identity, limiting its use to non-secure, SPI-native systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on the AT24CS04-STUM-T?
The NC (No Connect) pin on the AT24CS04-STUM-T is not internally bonded and serves no electrical function. It must remain unconnected in PCB layout - neither routed nor terminated. This pin is present due to package compatibility with other variants in the AT24CS04/AT24CS08 family but has no role in AT24CS04-STUM-T operation or configuration.
Does the AT24CS04-STUM-T support 1 MHz I²C communication across its full voltage range?
No, the AT24CS04-STUM-T supports 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) only at VCC = 2.5V to 5.5V. Below 2.5V, maximum I²C speed is limited to 400 kHz (Fast Mode). This voltage-dependent timing is specified in the AC Characteristics table of the official datasheet DS20006350A, and must be observed to ensure reliable communication.
How is the 128-bit serial number accessed on the AT24CS04-STUM-T?
The 128-bit serial number on the AT24CS04-STUM-T is stored in a dedicated, read-only memory region outside the main 4-Kbit user array. It is accessed via a specific I²C command sequence defined in Section 8.4 of the datasheet: a repeated Start condition followed by the device address and offset 0x0008, then reading 16 consecutive bytes. The value is factory-programmed and cannot be altered.
Can the WP pin on the AT24CS04-STUM-T be left floating in a design?
While the WP pin on the AT24CS04-STUM-T has an internal pull-down, Microchip explicitly recommends against leaving it floating due to risk of capacitive coupling causing unintended write-enable states. For guaranteed protection, WP must be hardwired to either VCC (to disable all writes) or GND (to allow writes). If using a pull-up resistor, 10 kΩ or less is advised per datasheet guidance.
What is the maximum write endurance of the AT24CS04-STUM-T, and under what conditions is it specified?
The AT24CS04-STUM-T guarantees 1,000,000 write cycles per memory location, characterized at TA = 25°C and VCC = 3.3V using page-write mode. This endurance applies to the entire 512-word array and is validated through qualification testing - not just typical behavior. Endurance remains valid across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), though actual field lifetime depends on thermal and voltage stress profiles.
