Product details
Overview
AT24CS32-XHM-B from Microchip Technology is a 32-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, organized as 4,096 × 8 bits, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V, and rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz) I²C speeds and includes hardware write protection via WP pin for full-array data security in embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS32-XHM-B datasheet, AT24CS32-XHM-B pinout, AT24CS32-XHM-B application, or AT24CS32-XHM-B equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (5-lead SOT23), confirmed pin functions (SCL/SDA/WP/VCC/GND), endurance (1,000,000 cycles), data retention (100 years), and real-world use cases including secure device identification and firmware parameter storage.
Technical Context
The AT24CS32-XHM-B implements a two-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SCL and SDA inputs, supporting bidirectional data transfer with ACK/NACK protocol and software reset capability. Its internal architecture includes a dedicated 128-bit read-only serial number block-physically separate from user memory-ensuring uniqueness across the entire CS Series without consuming user-addressable space.
It features an on-chip high-voltage generation circuit enabling byte and 32-byte page writes with self-timed erase/write cycles ≤5 ms, plus hardware write protection activated by pulling WP to VCC. Power management includes ultra-low standby current (≤6 µA at 5.5V) and active current (≤3 mA at 5.0V during write).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT24CS32-XHM-B is packaged in a 5-lead SOT23 surface-mount package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin assignments are validated per Microchip DS20006341A-page 3 and page 4 diagrams.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-provided clock signal; rising edge latches input data, falling edge clocks output data; requires external pull-up |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for all internal circuitry and I/O biasing; must be low-impedance connection |
| SDA | Serial Data Bidirectional I/O | Open-drain bus line shared across multiple devices; requires external pull-up resistor ≤10 kΩ |
| WP | Hardware Write-Protect Control | Pulled high to VCC to disable all writes; internally pulled down when floating; prevents accidental overwrites during power transients |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | 1.7V–5.5V supply; monotonically ramped at ≤0.1 V/µs during power-up to ensure reliable POR behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Programmed Serial Number | 128-bit value permanently locked during wafer test; occupies no user memory space and guarantees uniqueness across all CS Series EEPROMs |
| Multi-Voltage I²C Interface | Supports 100/400 kHz across full 1.7–5.5V range and 1 MHz FM+ above 2.5V - simplifies integration into mixed-voltage systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C32D-XHM-B | Same 32-Kbit capacity and SOT23-5 package, but lacks factory-programmed serial number; uses standard I²C address '1010' only | No built-in device identity - requires external serialization or software-managed UID generation | Select when serial number functionality is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs traceability benefits |
| M24C32-WMN6TP | 32-Kbit I²C EEPROM in 8-lead SO8 package; supports 1 MHz FM+ only above 2.5V; no factory serial number; RoHS-compliant | Larger footprint and different pinout - not drop-in compatible; requires PCB redesign | Choose for legacy SOIC layouts or when higher pin count enables easier routing in dense boards |
Compared with AT24CS32-XHM-B, AT24C32D-XHM-B removes the 128-bit serial number but retains identical electrical specs and package, while M24C32-WMN6TP offers same density in SO8 but sacrifices both uniqueness and SOT23 compatibility - making AT24CS32-XHM-B the sole option for compact, identity-aware, drop-in serial EEPROM replacement.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP pin on the AT24CS32-XHM-B?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the AT24CS32-XHM-B provides hardware-level write inhibition: when tied to VCC, it disables all write operations to the entire memory array, preventing accidental or malicious overwrites. When grounded or left floating (internally pulled down), normal read/write functionality is enabled. This feature is critical for safeguarding calibration data or firmware parameters in mission-critical systems using the AT24CS32-XHM-B.
Does the AT24CS32-XHM-B support 1 MHz I²C communication?
Yes, the AT24CS32-XHM-B supports 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation-but only when VCC is between 2.5V and 5.5V. Below 2.5V, it operates at up to 400 kHz (Fast Mode) or 100 kHz (Standard Mode). This voltage-gated speed scaling ensures timing compliance across its full 1.7V–5.5V supply range, a key specification confirmed in DS20006341A Table 4-3 for the AT24CS32-XHM-B.
How is the 128-bit serial number accessed on the AT24CS32-XHM-B?
The 128-bit serial number on the AT24CS32-XHM-B is accessed via a dedicated I²C device address prefix '1011b' (0xB0–0xB7), distinct from the main memory's '1010b' (0xA0–0xA7) address. It resides in a physically separate, read-only memory block that consumes no user memory space and is permanently programmed during Microchip's wafer test - a verified feature of the AT24CS32-XHM-B documented in DS20006341A Section 8.4.
What is the maximum write cycle time for the AT24CS32-XHM-B?
The maximum self-timed write cycle time for the AT24CS32-XHM-B is 5 ms, applicable to both byte and 32-byte page writes. This value is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage range (1.7V to 5.5V), as specified in DS20006341A Table 4-3 under parameter tWR - a critical timing constraint for real-time systems using the AT24CS32-XHM-B.
Is the AT24CS32-XHM-B compatible with 1.8V I²C buses?
Yes, the AT24CS32-XHM-B is fully compatible with 1.8V I²C buses: it operates down to 1.7V VCC and supports Standard Mode (100 kHz) and Fast Mode (400 kHz) across the entire 1.7V–5.5V range. Its Schmitt-triggered inputs and noise-filtered design ensure robust signal integrity at 1.8V logic levels, making it suitable for modern ultra-low-voltage microcontroller interfaces using the AT24CS32-XHM-B.
