Product details
Overview
AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 4-kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 512 words × 8 bits, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5 V, featuring 8-byte page write mode and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in industrial sensor nodes and embedded control modules requiring low-voltage operation.
For engineers reviewing the AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 datasheet, AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 pinout, AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 application, or AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC SOIC-8 package mapping, SPI Mode 0/3 timing compliance, block write protection levels, and validated alternatives for design-in and BOM replacement.
Technical Context
The AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 implements a synchronous slave SPI interface with dedicated SI/SO pins, CS-controlled selection, and HOLD pin for serial communication suspension without reset. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, status register with BP1/BP0 for 1/4–full array protection, and self-timed write cycle logic.
It supports dual voltage operation (1.8–5.5 V), delivers 5 ms max write cycle time, and maintains compatibility with 6805/68HC11 microcontroller SPI peripherals. The device uses MSB-first data transfer and requires WREN before WRITE, with RDSR used to monitor RDY/WEN status during programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 kbit (512 × 8), sufficient for firmware parameter tables or calibration data in compact MCU systems. |
| Interface | SPI slave with Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) support; no separate erase needed before write. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration into 1.8 V logic domains or mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5 V - allows high-throughput configuration updates in real-time control loops. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles - supports frequent logging or runtime parameter adjustment in industrial HMI or metering applications. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25 °C - ensures long-term reliability of stored calibration coefficients or security keys across product lifetime. |
| Write Protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (status register BP1/BP0) enabling 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array lock - prevents accidental overwrites during field firmware updates. |
Pinout & Package
AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 is packaged in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide body, RoHS-compliant, green plastic gull-wing outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be low to accept instructions; high impedance on SO when CS is high. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only clock; defines timing for SI sampling and SO output; supports up to 20 MHz at 5 V. |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Master-to-slave data path for op-codes, addresses, and write data; MSB-first transmission required. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Slave-to-master data path for read data and status register contents; tri-stated when CS is high. |
| GND | Ground Reference | 0 V reference for all I/O and supply pins; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.8–5.5 V); powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers. |
| WP | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock; disables all write operations including WREN when pulled low; overrides status register settings. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Active-low pause control; halts ongoing SPI transaction without resetting address counter or command state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst programming of up to 8 sequential bytes per CS pulse, reducing total write time versus byte-by-byte writes. |
| Block Write Protection | Four protection levels (none, 1/4, 1/2, full array) controlled by nonvolatile BP1/BP0 bits - preserves critical boot parameters during field upgrades. |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | Internal timing eliminates need for external delay or polling overhead; max 5 ms duration ensures predictable firmware execution flow. |
| Low Standby Current | 0.1 µA typical at 1.8 V - extends battery life in always-on IoT edge sensors and portable diagnostic tools. |
| Industrial Temp Range | −40 °C to +85 °C operation - qualified for deployment in automotive body controllers, factory automation PLCs, and outdoor metering equipment. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95040-DRMN3TP/K | 4 kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5 V, 20 MHz, SOIC-8, but uses different status register bit layout and lacks HOLD pin. | No HOLD functionality limits use in systems requiring interruptible SPI transactions during real-time monitoring. | Select when HOLD is unused and STMicroelectronics supply chain alignment is prioritized. |
| BR24G04FJ-3GE2 | 4 kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max clock, TSSOP-8; uses two-wire interface instead of SPI. | Requires I²C master peripheral and pull-up resistors; incompatible with existing SPI-based firmware without driver rewrite. | Choose for space-constrained designs where I²C bus sharing reduces pin count, and lower speed is acceptable. |
Compared with M95040-DRMN3TP/K and BR24G04FJ-3GE2, the AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 uniquely combines HOLD capability, SPI Mode 0/3 flexibility, and 8-byte page write - making it optimal for deterministic, interrupt-resilient embedded configurations where timing predictability and interface compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 at 1.8 V?
The AT25040AN-10SU-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 robust timing margins for low-power systems while maintaining compatibility with standard SPI peripherals.
Does AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 require an external pull-up resistor on the SO pin?
No, AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 does not require an external pull-up on SO. The SO pin is actively driven high or low during read operations and enters high-impedance state when CS is high or during HOLD assertion - eliminating need for external biasing.
How is write protection configured on AT25040AN-10SU-1.8?
Write protection on AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 is configured using both hardware (WP pin) and software (WRSR instruction). Pulling WP low disables all writes unconditionally; setting BP1/BP0 bits in the status register enables 1/4, 1/2, or full-array software lock - both methods can be used concurrently.
Can AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, AT25040AN-10SU-1.8 is rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation and is explicitly listed as "Automotive Devices Available" in its datasheet features. It meets industrial temperature requirements commonly applied in automotive body electronics, though not AEC-Q100 qualified.
What happens if the HOLD pin is asserted during a write cycle on AT25040AN-10SU-1.8?
If HOLD is asserted during a write cycle on AT25040AN-10SU-1.8, the internal write operation continues uninterrupted. HOLD only suspends serial communication (SI/SO activity); it does not abort or pause the self-timed write cycle, which completes in ≤5 ms regardless of HOLD state.
