Product details
Overview
AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 256 × 8 bits, supporting 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation, 20 MHz clock rate at 5 V, 8-byte page write mode, and block write protection for 1/4, 1/2, or full memory array-used in industrial sensor calibration storage and embedded firmware parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 datasheet, AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 pinout, AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 application, or AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage 1.8 V compatibility, MLP 2×3 mm DFN package footprint, SPI Mode 0/3 support, 1 million write cycles endurance, and hardware write protection via WP/HOLD pins.
Technical Context
The AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with separate SI/SO lines, MSB-first data transfer, and status register–controlled block protection (BP1/BP0). It operates exclusively as a slave device with no internal clock generation, relying on external master SCK timing.
Its architecture includes a self-timed internal write cycle (≤5 ms), automatic address increment during page writes, and dual-layer data protection: software-enabled via WREN/WRSR instructions and hardware-enforced via dedicated WP and HOLD pins that suspend communication without resetting sequence state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2048 bits (256 words × 8 bits), sufficient for storing configuration registers or calibration coefficients in space-constrained microcontroller systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families and backward compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V host controllers without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5.0 V - supports high-speed parameter updates in real-time control loops or boot-time configuration loading. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - ensures reliable field recalibration over product lifetime in industrial monitoring applications. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25 °C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration data or security keys without refresh. |
| Page Write Size | 8 bytes - minimizes write latency per transaction while avoiding excessive bus occupancy during burst programming. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in automotive ECUs, PLC modules, and outdoor IoT gateways. |
Pinout & Package
AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 uses an 8-lead Ultra Thin mini-MAP (MLP 2×3 mm) DFN package with exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and dual-no-lead construction optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be driven low to initiate SPI communication and high to place SO in high-impedance state. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Asynchronous master-generated clock; timing-critical for setup/hold compliance (min 20 ns high/low time at 1.8 V). |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes (e.g., WRITE, WREN), addresses, and data; MSB-first, sampled on SCK rising edge in Mode 0. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status register contents; tri-stated when CS is high or HOLD is active. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and power currents; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SPI signals. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input supporting 1.8–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) required within 5 mm of VCC/GND pins. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock: drives low to inhibit all write operations regardless of WREN status or status register settings. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer (e.g., mid-read/write) without resetting internal address counter or command state machine. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Support | Enables interoperability with diverse microcontrollers including legacy 68HC11 and modern ARM Cortex-M SPI peripherals without protocol translation. |
| Block Write Protection | Four configurable protection levels (none, 1/4, 1/2, full array) implemented via nonvolatile BP1/BP0 bits, preventing accidental overwrite of critical firmware parameters. |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | Eliminates need for external write-cycle timing control or polling delay insertion-host only checks RDY bit via RDSR instruction. |
| Low Standby Current | 0.1 µA typical at 1.8 V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes where EEPROM remains powered but idle >99% of time. |
| Industrial Temp Range | Rated −40 °C to +85 °C with full electrical specification compliance, enabling use in unheated enclosures or engine bay–adjacent modules. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration | Embedded Firmware Configuration |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing factory-trimmed offset/gain coefficients for analog sensor front-ends in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile parameter storage accessed during power-up initialization and runtime calibration updates via SPI.

Use Value: Meets IEC 62304 data integrity requirements; 100-year retention satisfies medical device shelf-life mandates without periodic refresh. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95256-DFMN6TP/K | 256 Kbit capacity, same MLP 2×3 mm package, 20 MHz max clock, but requires 2.5–5.5 V supply (no 1.8 V support). | Higher density for multi-parameter logging; unsuitable for 1.8 V-only systems due to minimum 2.5 V VCC requirement. | Select when >2 Kbit storage is needed and system VCC ≥2.5 V; verify hold-time compatibility with host SPI peripheral. |
| BR25G256FJ-3GE2 | 256 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V operation, same 8-pin DFN (2×3 mm), but supports Quad SPI and has faster 40 MHz clock rating. | Supports higher bandwidth firmware updates; lacks HOLD pin, requiring software-managed transaction suspension. | Choose for future-proofing with quad-I/O capability or when 40 MHz throughput is critical; confirm host supports enhanced SPI modes. |
Compared with M95256-DFMN6TP/K and BR25G256FJ-3GE2, the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 provides optimal balance of ultra-low-voltage operation, proven industrial reliability, and minimal pin count-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 1.8 V embedded systems where 2 Kbit suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating clock frequency of the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 at 1.8 V?
The AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 supports up to 5 MHz SCK frequency when operated at 1.8 V, as specified in Table 4 AC Characteristics under the 1.8–5.5 V column. This ensures reliable timing margins for low-voltage host controllers while maintaining compatibility with higher-speed 20 MHz operation at 5 V.
Does the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 require an external pull-up resistor on the SO pin?
No, the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 does not require an external pull-up on SO. Its SO pin is actively driven high or low during read operations and enters high-impedance state when CS is high or HOLD is asserted-eliminating need for external biasing and reducing BOM count.
How is write protection implemented on the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8?
Write protection on the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 is implemented through two independent mechanisms: hardware protection via the WP pin (low = all writes disabled), and software-configurable block protection via BP1/BP0 bits in the status register, allowing selective locking of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the memory array.
Can the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 be used in SPI Mode 1 or Mode 2?
No, the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 explicitly supports only SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as stated in its Features section. Using Mode 1 or Mode 2 will result in incorrect data sampling and communication failure.
What package type does the AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The AT25020AY6-10YH-1.8 uses an 8-lead Ultra Thin mini-MAP (MLP 2×3 mm) DFN package (ordering code suffix "8Y6"), measuring 2.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size with 0.50 mm pitch, 0.30 mm max height, and an exposed thermal pad-ideal for thermally constrained, high-density PCB layouts.
