Product details
Overview
AT25010B-SSHL-T from Microchip Technology is a 1 Kbit (128 × 8) SPI Serial EEPROM IC designed for nonvolatile data storage in microcontroller-based systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 20 MHz clock rate at 5V, features hardware/software write protection via WP pin and STATUS register, and delivers 1,000,000 write cycles with 100-year data retention - deployed in industrial sensor calibration and embedded configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT25010B-SSHL-T datasheet, AT25010B-SSHL-T pinout, AT25010B-SSHL-T application, or AT25010B-SSHL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage SPI compatibility (1.8V–5.5V), 8-byte page write capability, block-level write protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), HOLD/CS-controlled suspend functionality, and SOIC-8 packaging for legacy board compatibility.
Technical Context
The AT25010B-SSHL-T implements a synchronous SPI slave interface supporting Modes 0 and 3, with data latched on SCK rising edge and output on falling edge. Its internal architecture includes a high-voltage generation circuit for EEPROM programming, a STATUS register with BP1/BP0 bits for nonvolatile block protection, and a power-on reset (POR) circuit ensuring stable initialization at VCC ≥ 1.5V.
It integrates hardware write protection via the WP pin (active-low inhibition of all writes) and software control through WRSR/RDSR commands. The HOLD pin enables pause/resume of serial communication without resetting the instruction sequence, while maintaining high-impedance SO during hold - critical for multi-device SPI bus arbitration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,024 bits (128 words × 8 bits), sufficient for firmware version stamps or small device configuration tables |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 4.5–5.5V - supports high-speed read/write in time-critical bootloading sequences |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms maximum - ensures predictable timeout handling in real-time firmware polling routines |
| Endurance & Retention | 1,000,000 write cycles / 100 years data retention at 55°C - validated for long-life industrial deployments |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C industrial grade - qualified for use in automotive body control modules and factory automation nodes |
| ESD Protection | >4,000V HBM - reduces risk of field failure during handling or system integration |
Pinout & Package
AT25010B-SSHL-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with standard 150-mil body width and 1.27 mm pitch - compatible with legacy PCB footprints and automated assembly processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be driven low before any SPI transaction; requires pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ) tied to VCC for robust power-up behavior |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output; drives data on falling edge of SCK; enters high-impedance state when CS is high or HOLD is asserted |
| WP | Write-Protect | Hardware lock: pulls low to inhibit all write operations (including STATUS register updates); no effect once internal write cycle begins |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for VCC supply and signal integrity; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and data on rising edge of SCK; MSb-first protocol; ignored during HOLD or CS high |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Asynchronous master-generated clock; defines timing for SI sampling and SO output; idle polarity depends on SPI mode (0 or 3) |
| HOLD | Suspend Control | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting state; requires SCK low to assert/deassert; SO goes high-Z, SI/SCK ignored |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; must ramp monotonically at ≤0.1 V/µs; POR threshold at 1.5V ensures reliable reset before command acceptance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-byte page write mode | Enables burst programming of up to 8 bytes per WRITE command, reducing total transaction count vs. byte-wise writes |
| Block write protection (BP1/BP0) | Nonvolatile STATUS register bits allow permanent 25%, 50%, or 100% array lock - prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration data |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines physical WP pin control with WREN/WRDI instructions and STATUS register locking - layered security for firmware update paths |
| HOLD pin suspend function | Allows external controller to pause SPI communication mid-sequence (e.g., during interrupt servicing) without losing context or requiring re-synchronization |
| Green RoHS-compliant packaging | Lead-free, halide-free SOIC-8 meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) for standard reflow processing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPI EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95010-WMN6TP | 1 Kbit, same SOIC-8 package, but max clock 10 MHz at 1.8V and no HOLD pin | Lacks suspend functionality; suitable only where bus arbitration is handled externally | Choose when HOLD is unused and cost is primary driver; verify timing margins at 1.8V |
| 25AA010A-I/P | 1 Kbit, PDIP-8 package, supports 10 MHz at 1.8V, includes software write protection only (no WP pin) | Through-hole mounting required; no hardware-level write lock independent of firmware state | Select for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs; avoid in safety-critical systems needing hardware-enforced protection |
Compared with M95010-WMN6TP and 25AA010A-I/P, AT25010B-SSHL-T uniquely combines 20 MHz speed at 5V, integrated HOLD functionality for deterministic bus control, and dual hardware/software write protection - making it optimal for real-time embedded systems requiring both performance and robust data integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25010B-SSHL-T at 3.3V operation?
At VCC = 2.5V to 5.5V, the AT25010B-SSHL-T supports up to 10 MHz SCK frequency. This is confirmed in Table 4-3 of the official datasheet (DS20006251A), where fSCK maximum is specified as 10 MHz for that voltage range. Operation above this limit may result in timing violations and data corruption.
Does AT25010B-SSHL-T support SPI Mode 1 or Mode 2?
No, AT25010B-SSHL-T explicitly supports only SPI Modes 0 and 3, as stated in the Features section and Section 5.1 of the datasheet. It latches data on the rising edge and outputs on the falling edge of SCK - incompatible with Mode 1 (sample on falling, shift on rising) or Mode 2 (inactive SCK high, sample on falling).
How does the HOLD pin behave during an active write cycle in AT25010B-SSHL-T?
The HOLD pin has no effect on an ongoing internal write cycle in AT25010B-SSHL-T. As documented in Section 5.3, Hold mode suspends serial communication only - the self-timed 5 ms write operation continues uninterrupted. SO enters high-Z, but the EEPROM cell programming completes normally.
What is the factory default state of the STATUS register in AT25010B-SSHL-T?
Per Section 4.6.6 and Table 6-3, AT25010B-SSHL-T ships with BP1/BP0 = 00 (no array protection), WEL = 0 (write disabled), and RDY/BSY = 0 (ready). The EEPROM array contains all 0xFF data. These defaults ensure safe out-of-box operation without unintended writes or protection locks.
Can AT25010B-SSHL-T be used with a 1.8V-only microcontroller without level shifting?
Yes, AT25010B-SSHL-T is fully 1.8V-compatible: its VCC range is 1.8V–5.5V, input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), and DC/AC characteristics are characterized down to 1.8V. No level shifter is needed when interfacing with 1.8V MCUs operating within datasheet timing limits.
