Product details
Overview
AT25010A-10TU-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, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5V, featuring 8-byte page write mode and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register. It serves in industrial control modules for parameter storage and calibration data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25010A-10TU-2.7 datasheet, AT25010A-10TU-2.7 pinout, AT25010A-10TU-2.7 application, or AT25010A-10TU-2.7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP-8 package details, SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, block write protection mapping, and direct alternative part comparisons with technical differentiation.
Technical Context
The AT25010A-10TU-2.7 implements a synchronous slave SPI interface with dedicated SI/SO pins, CS-controlled selection, and HOLD pin for suspend/resume of serial communication without reset. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, status register with BP1/BP0 for 1/4–full array protection, and automatic address increment during page writes.
It uses self-timed internal write cycles (≤5 ms), requires WREN before WRITE, and supports RDSR polling for RDY/WEN status. Block protection levels are nonvolatile and set via WRSR; WP pin provides hardware-level inhibition of all writes when low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 bits (128 × 8), sufficient for firmware configuration flags and small sensor calibration tables |
| Interface | SPI-compatible, supports Modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1); Mode 0 operation documented |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems without level shifting |
| Max Clock Rate | 20 MHz at VCC = 5V - allows high-speed parameter updates in real-time control loops |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles - supports frequent recalibration in test equipment and field-upgradable devices |
| Data Retention | 100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure monitoring nodes |
| Page Write Size | 8 bytes - minimizes bus occupancy during multi-byte writes while avoiding wraparound risks |
Pinout & Package
AT25010A-10TU-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), 0.170" wide, RoHS-compliant and green-packaged ("U" suffix), with standard JEDEC footprint and 0.65 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be low to accept instructions; high-Z SO when CS high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only master-generated clock; defines timing for SI sampling and SO output edges |
| SI | Serial Data Input | MSB-first instruction/address/data input; ignored during HOLD or when CS high |
| SO | Serial Data Output | MSB-first read data output; tri-stated when CS high or during HOLD |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and all I/O; required for stable logic thresholds and noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–5.5V supply; powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock: drives all write operations inactive when pulled low, independent of status register |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer (e.g., mid-read) without resetting sequence; requires SCK low to assert |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Block Write Protection | Four configurable levels (none, 1/4, 1/2, full array) via nonvolatile BP1/BP0 bits - enables selective firmware parameter locking |
| Hardware + Software Write Control | WP pin + WREN/WRDI instructions provide dual-layer data integrity - critical for safety-critical configuration storage |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | No external erase step needed; ≤5 ms max internal cycle time - simplifies host firmware and avoids timeout complexity |
| Low Standby Current | 0.2 µA typical at 2.7V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools and wireless sensors |
| SPI Mode Flexibility | Native support for both Mode 0 and Mode 3 - interoperates with diverse MCUs including legacy 68HC11 and modern ARM Cortex-M SPI peripherals |

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the AT25010A-10TU-2.7?
The AT25010A-10TU-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when operated at VCC = 5.0V. At lower supply voltages (2.7V–3.6V), the maximum rated clock frequency drops to 10 MHz per AC Characteristics Table 4. This ensures timing margin compliance across its full operating voltage range without requiring host-side clock throttling.
Does the AT25010A-10TU-2.7 require an external erase command before writing?
No, the AT25010A-10TU-2.7 does not require a separate erase command. All write operations are self-timed and internally managed; the device automatically erases the target byte(s) prior to programming. A WREN instruction must precede any WRITE, and the internal write cycle completes in ≤5 ms - confirmed in the datasheet's tWC specification.
How is write protection implemented on the AT25010A-10TU-2.7?
The AT25010A-10TU-2.7 implements dual-layer write protection: hardware via the WP pin (low = all writes inhibited), and software via BP0/BP1 bits in the status register (configurable 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array lock). Both mechanisms operate independently - WP overrides status register settings, providing fail-safe protection even if firmware misconfigures BP bits.
What package type is used for the AT25010A-10TU-2.7?
The AT25010A-10TU-2.7 uses an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated as package code "8A2" in Microchip's ordering information. It measures 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm, has a 0.65 mm lead pitch, and is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free ("U" suffix).
Can the AT25010A-10TU-2.7 be used with 1.8V microcontrollers?
No - the AT25010A-10TU-2.7 is specified for 2.7V to 5.5V operation only (denoted by "-2.7" in the part number). For 1.8V systems, Microchip offers the AT25010A-10TU-1.8 variant, which supports 1.8V–5.5V and shares identical pinout and instruction set but differs in AC timing and DC characteristics.
