Product details
Overview
AT25010A-10PI-2.7 from Atmel (now Microchip) is a 1-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 128 words × 8 bits, operating at 2.7–5.5 V with 20 MHz max clock rate at 5 V. It features hardware write protection via WP pin, HOLD for communication suspension, and 8-byte page write capability. It is used in industrial control systems for parameter storage and calibration data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 datasheet, AT25010A-10PI-2.7 pinout, AT25010A-10PI-2.7 application, or AT25010A-10PI-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include low-voltage operation down to 2.7 V, block write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, or full array), self-timed 5 ms write cycle, and compatibility with SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3 interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT25010A-10PI-2.7 implements a synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) slave device with separate SI and SO pins, supporting MSB-first transmission and op-code–driven command execution. Its status register (8-bit) controls write enable (WEN), ready/busy (RDY), and nonvolatile block protection bits (BP1/BP0).
It uses an internal address counter that auto-increments during sequential reads and supports 8-byte page writes with wraparound. Communication is gated by CS, suspended via HOLD (low while SCK is low), and protected against unintended writes using both hardware (WP pin) and software (WREN/WRDI) mechanisms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), sufficient for small configuration tables or device ID storage |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller systems without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5 V - supports high-speed firmware updates and logging in real-time embedded applications |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - deterministic timing allows precise scheduling of non-blocking background writes |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - suitable for frequent recalibration or event-logging use cases over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | 100 years at 25°C - ensures long-term reliability of stored calibration coefficients or security keys |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and metering |
Pinout & Package
AT25010A-10PI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead PDIP (0.300" wide) package per JEDEC MS-001, Variation BA. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are gull-wing shaped with standard through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal - must be low to accept commands; high impedance on SO when CS is high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only clock - synchronizes all SI/SO data transfers; device operates only as SPI slave |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Command/address/data input - accepts op-codes, addresses, and write data MSB-first |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Data output during READ/RDSR - tri-stated when CS is high or HOLD is active |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and all I/O signals - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply - powers internal logic and memory array; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock - low disables all write operations including WREN, preventing accidental corruption |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting sequence - useful during interrupt service routines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3 support | Enables interoperability with diverse MCUs including 68HC11, PIC, and ARM-based controllers without protocol translation |
| 8-byte page write mode | Reduces write overhead versus byte-by-byte programming - improves efficiency in burst data logging applications |
| Four-level block write protection | Allows selective locking of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory via BP1/BP0 bits - secures critical firmware parameters |
| Self-timed internal write cycle | Eliminates need for external timing control or erase-before-write sequences - simplifies host firmware design |
| HOLD and WP dual-protection scheme | Provides layered data integrity - HOLD prevents bus contention; WP blocks physical write attempts even during power-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95010-WMN6TP | 1-Kbit SPI EEPROM, 2.5–5.5 V supply, 10 MHz max clock at 2.5 V, SOIC-8 package | Lacks HOLD pin and block protection granularity; supports only full-array write protection | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where suspend functionality and fine-grained protection are not required |
| 25AA010A-I/P | 1-Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5 V, 10 MHz max clock, PDIP-8 package, includes ESD-hardened I/O | Supports lower 1.8 V operation but lacks HOLD pin; same WP and status register functionality | Prefer when operating below 2.7 V or requiring enhanced ESD robustness in noisy industrial environments |
Compared with M95010-WMN6TP and 25AA010A-I/P, the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 offers unique HOLD functionality for interrupt-safe SPI transactions and four-tier block protection - critical for systems requiring concurrent real-time processing and secure parameter updates.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25010A-10PI-2.7?
The AT25010A-10PI-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when operated at 5 V. At 2.7 V, the maximum clock rate is 10 MHz per AC characteristics in Table 4. This ensures reliable timing margins across its full voltage range without requiring dynamic clock scaling in host firmware.
Does AT25010A-10PI-2.7 require an external erase cycle before writing?
No, the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 does not require a separate erase cycle. All write operations - including byte and page writes - are self-timed and automatically erase and program the target location internally. The 5 ms maximum write cycle time includes both erase and program phases.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active SPI transaction?
When HOLD is pulled low while SCK is low, the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 suspends serial communication without resetting the internal state. SI inputs are ignored, and SO enters high-impedance. To resume, bring HOLD high while SCK remains low - the transaction continues from the exact bit position where it paused.
Can AT25010A-10PI-2.7 be used with SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)?
Yes, the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 and 3 as stated in its Features section. In Mode 3, sampling occurs on the falling edge of SCK and setup on the rising edge - verified in functional timing diagrams and compatible with MCUs like STM32 and NXP Kinetis families.
What happens if the WP pin is driven low during a write operation?
If WP is pulled low while CS is active and a write instruction is in progress, the AT25010A-10PI-2.7 immediately halts the write sequence. No data is committed to memory, and the device returns to standby. If the internal write cycle has already started (e.g., after CS high), WP going low has no effect - the write completes normally.
