Product details
Overview
AT25010A-10PU-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 128 words × 8 bits, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V with 20 MHz max clock rate at 5V, 8-byte page write capability, and hardware/software write protection. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules where low-voltage operation and pin-constrained board space are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AT25010A-10PU-2.7 datasheet, AT25010A-10PU-2.7 pinout, AT25010A-10PU-2.7 application, or AT25010A-10PU-2.7 equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.7–5.5 V supply range, 8-lead PDIP package with verified CS/SCK/SI/SO/WP/HOLD/GND/VCC pinout, 1 million write cycles endurance, and block-level write protection covering 1/4, 1/2, or full memory array.
Technical Context
The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, using separate SI (input) and SO (output) pins for full-duplex data transfer. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, status register with BP1/BP0 block protection bits, and automatic address incrementing during page writes.
Write operations require explicit WREN instruction before WRITE, and are inhibited when WP is low or the status register's WEN bit is cleared. The HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial communication without resetting the sequence, while CS controls device selection and initiates op-code interpretation on falling edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), sufficient for storing calibration coefficients or boot configuration in compact embedded systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5 V - enables fast firmware parameter updates in real-time control loops |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles - ensures reliable logging of infrequent system events over 10+ years of field operation |
| Data Retention | 100 years - guarantees long-term integrity of stored settings across product lifecycle |
| Page Write Size | 8 bytes - minimizes bus occupancy during multi-byte configuration writes while avoiding wraparound risks |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments including factory automation and power metering |
Pinout & Package
AT25010A-10PU-2.7 uses an 8-lead JEDEC PDIP (package code 8P3) with 0.300" body width, RoHS-compliant green finish, and industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; falling edge initiates op-code sampling and defines SPI transaction boundaries |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock input; timing reference for SI sampling and SO output edges per SPI Mode 0 |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Unidirectional command/address/data path into device; MSB-first transmission required |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Unidirectional read-data path; high-impedance when CS high or HOLD active |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise-induced corruption |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin for stable 20 MHz operation |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock: low state disables all write instructions regardless of WREN status or status register settings |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state; requires SCK low during assertion/deassertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Support | Enables interoperability with diverse MCUs including legacy 68HC11 and modern ARM Cortex-M peripherals without protocol translation |
| Block Write Protection | Four configurable protection levels (none, 1/4, 1/2, full array) via nonvolatile BP1/BP0 bits, preventing accidental overwrite of critical firmware parameters |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | 5 ms maximum duration eliminates need for external delay timers or polling overhead in host firmware |
| Low Standby Current | 0.2 µA typical at 2.7 V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and energy-harvesting applications |
| HOLD Pin Functionality | Allows master MCU to temporarily halt EEPROM communication during interrupt service routines without losing byte alignment or address pointer state |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95128-WMN6TP | 128 Kbit capacity, same 8-lead SOIC package, 2.5–5.5 V supply, but lacks HOLD pin and has slower 10 MHz max clock | Higher density for extended logging; unsuitable where HOLD functionality is required for interrupt-safe access | Select when memory expansion is needed and HOLD is unused; verify timing margins for 10 MHz vs. 20 MHz host interface |
| BR24G12-3MNUX | I²C interface (not SPI), 12 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V, built-in write protect via A0/A1 pins, no WP/HOLD pins | Requires I²C-capable MCU; eliminates need for dedicated WP control line but adds address pin routing complexity | Choose for designs already using I²C buses to reduce signal count; not drop-in replaceable due to protocol and pinout mismatch |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and BR24G12-3MNUX, the AT25010A-10PU-2.7 provides optimal balance of SPI compatibility, HOLD functionality for deterministic MCU interrupt handling, and proven 1-million-cycle endurance in constrained industrial layouts - making it preferred for new designs requiring robust, low-pin-count nonvolatile storage.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25010A-10PU-2.7 at 3.3 V operation?
The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 supports up to 10 MHz SCK frequency when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, as specified in Table 4 AC Characteristics. This ensures reliable communication with 3.3 V microcontrollers such as STM32 or PIC32MX families without violating setup/hold timing margins. The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 maintains full functionality across its rated voltage range without derating.
Does AT25010A-10PU-2.7 support SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)?
Yes, the AT25010A-10PU-2.7 explicitly supports both SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), as confirmed in the Features section of the datasheet. This dual-mode capability allows direct integration with MCUs like the NXP LPC series that default to Mode 3, eliminating the need for software workarounds or external logic. The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 interprets clock polarity and phase correctly in either mode.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active write cycle in AT25010A-10PU-2.7?
The HOLD pin has no effect during an internal write cycle (tWC); the AT25010A-10PU-2.7 ignores HOLD assertions until the write completes and returns to standby. During read or instruction phases, HOLD suspends communication while preserving the current address pointer and internal state. The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 resumes exactly where it left off upon HOLD deassertion, ensuring deterministic behavior in interrupt-driven firmware.
Can AT25010A-10PU-2.7 be used in automotive applications?
The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 is rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and is not qualified to AEC-Q100 automotive standards. While it may function in benign automotive cabin environments, Microchip explicitly states in the datasheet disclaimer that "Atmel's products are not intended, authorized, or warranted for use as components in applications intended to support or sustain life." For automotive body control modules, use automotive-qualified variants such as the AT25010B-MAHL-T.
What happens if the WP pin is pulled low mid-write on AT25010A-10PU-2.7?
If WP is driven low after CS falls but before the internal write cycle begins (i.e., during op-code/address/data transmission), the AT25010A-10PU-2.7 aborts the write and returns to standby. If WP goes low after the internal write has started, it has no effect - the cycle completes normally. This behavior is documented in the WRITE PROTECT section and ensures predictable failure modes. The AT25010A-10PU-2.7 does not corrupt partially written pages when WP is asserted.
