Product details
Overview
AT24CS64-SSHM-B from Microchip Technology is a 64-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with factory-programmed 128-bit unique serial number, organized as 8,192 × 8 bits, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V, supporting 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus, and featuring hardware write protection via WP pin - used for secure device identification and configuration storage in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT24CS64-SSHM-B datasheet, AT24CS64-SSHM-B pinout, AT24CS64-SSHM-B application, or AT24CS64-SSHM-B equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed unique 128-bit serial number (non-volatile, non-overlapping across CS Series), 1,000,000 write endurance, 100-year data retention, ultra-low standby current (6 µA max), and support for cascaded multi-device I²C bus configurations up to eight units.
Technical Context
The AT24CS64-SSHM-B implements a two-wire I²C slave interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA/SCL inputs and internal pull-downs on A0/A1/A2/WP pins. It supports three I²C speed modes: 100 kHz (1.7–5.5 V), 400 kHz (1.7–5.5 V), and 1 MHz FM+ (2.5–5.5 V), with clock timing compliant to I²C specification including tLOW/tHIGH, tSU.STA, and tHD.STA requirements.
Memory architecture comprises 256 pages of 32 bytes each, enabling partial page writes and sequential/random reads. The 128-bit serial number resides in a dedicated, read-only memory block addressed separately using device type identifier '1011b', physically isolated from user EEPROM space and permanently locked during wafer fabrication.

Pinout & Package
AT24CS64-SSHM-B is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Hardware device address input | Configures LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address; internally pulled down if floating - enables up to 8 devices on one bus when hardwired to VCC/GND. |
| A1 | Hardware device address input | Configures middle bit of 7-bit I²C slave address; same internal pull-down behavior as A0 - required for multi-drop addressing. |
| A2 | Hardware device address input | Configures MSB of 7-bit I²C slave address; identical biasing behavior - completes 3-bit hardware address selection. |
| GND | Ground reference | System return path for VCC and all I/O signals; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise coupling into SDA/SCL. |
| SDA | Bidirectional open-drain data line | Carries I²C data and ACK/NACK; requires external pull-up resistor ≤10 kΩ - shared across multiple slaves on same bus. |
| SCL | Input clock line | Controls data sampling timing; rising edge latches input, falling edge outputs data - must be pulled high externally or driven by master. |
| WP | Hardware write-protection enable | Active-high signal: tied to VCC blocks all writes to entire memory array; internally pulled down if floating - prevents accidental corruption during power transients. |
| VCC | Power supply input | 1.7–5.5 V operation; includes internal POR circuit requiring ≥100 µs stabilization before first command - ensures robust startup in noisy environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 128-bit serial number | Permanently written during wafer test; occupies dedicated memory block outside user space; uniqueness guaranteed across entire CS Series - removes serialization step from production line. |
| Three-speed I²C interface | Supports 100/400 kHz Standard/Fast mode and 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus with appropriate VCC - enables optimal bus timing selection per system voltage and noise environment. |
| Hardware write protection | WP pin disables all write operations when driven high; internal pull-down ensures safe default state - eliminates software-only protection vulnerabilities. |
| Noise-immune inputs | Schmitt triggers + digital filtering on SDA/SCL - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in industrial enclosures or motor-drive proximity. |
| Ultra-low power consumption | 3 mA max active current, 6 µA max standby current at 5 V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools and sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C64D-SSHM-T | Lacks factory-programmed 128-bit serial number; identical 64-Kbit density, SOIC-8 package, and I²C timing - no hardware UID capability. | Suitable only where device-level serialization is handled externally or not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for embedded UID; verify WP pin behavior matches legacy design. |
| M95640-DFMN6TP | SPI interface (not I²C); 64-Kbit density; operates 1.8–5.5 V; 5 ms write cycle - incompatible protocol, different pinout, no serial number. | Requires MCU SPI peripheral instead of I²C; no native support for multi-device bus addressing. | Choose only if existing design uses SPI and board layout cannot accommodate I²C routing changes. |
Compared with AT24CS64-SSHM-B, AT24C64D-SSHM-T offers identical memory capacity and package but omits the critical 128-bit UID feature, while M95640-DFMN6TP replaces I²C with SPI - making both alternatives unsuitable for designs relying on guaranteed hardware serialization or I²C bus sharing with other slaves.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP pin on the AT24CS64-SSHM-B?
The WP (Write-Protect) pin on the AT24CS64-SSHM-B is a hardware enable input that, when driven high (to VCC), inhibits all write operations to the entire 64-Kbit memory array. When tied to GND or left floating (due to internal pull-down), normal read/write functionality is enabled. This feature prevents accidental overwrites during power-up transients or firmware errors, and is critical for safeguarding calibration data and serial number access in deployed AT24CS64-SSHM-B devices.
Does the AT24CS64-SSHM-B support 1 MHz I²C communication?
Yes, the AT24CS64-SSHM-B supports 1 MHz Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I²C operation, but only within the 2.5 V to 5.5 V VCC range. At lower voltages (1.7–2.5 V), it defaults to 400 kHz Fast mode or 100 kHz Standard mode. This dual-voltage speed grading allows designers to maximize bus throughput in 3.3 V/5 V systems while retaining compatibility with low-voltage microcontrollers - a capability confirmed in the DS20006296A datasheet AC Characteristics table for the AT24CS64-SSHM-B.
How is the 128-bit serial number accessed on the AT24CS64-SSHM-B?
The 128-bit serial number on the AT24CS64-SSHM-B is accessed via a dedicated I²C device address using the 4-bit type identifier '1011b' (0xBx), distinct from the main EEPROM's '1010b' (0xAx) address. It resides in a read-only memory block physically separate from user memory, requires no special unlock sequence, and returns fixed 16-byte data on sequential reads starting from offset 0x00. This serial number is permanently programmed during Microchip's wafer test and cannot be altered - a core differentiator of the AT24CS64-SSHM-B versus generic EEPROMs.
What package type does the AT24CS64-SSHM-B use?
The AT24CS64-SSHM-B uses an 8-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body size, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish. The 'SSHM-B' suffix explicitly denotes this SOIC variant, distinguishing it from TSSOP ('STSM') and UDFN ('UDFM') versions of the same AT24CS64 die. Pinout and thermal characteristics match JEDEC MS-012AC, and the package supports standard reflow soldering profiles per IPC-J-STD-020.
Is the AT24CS64-SSHM-B rated for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the AT24CS64-SSHM-B is fully specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as documented in Section 4.2 of the DS20006296A datasheet. All electrical parameters - including I²C timing, supply current, and write endurance - are guaranteed across this range. The device incorporates on-die temperature compensation for the Power-on Reset (POR) circuit and maintains 6 µA max standby current even at +85°C, making it suitable for deployment in enclosed control cabinets, outdoor metering housings, and under-hood automotive modules where the AT24CS64-SSHM-B must retain data integrity without active cooling.
