Product details
Overview
AT25128A-10TI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128 Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 16,384 × 8 bits, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5 V, featuring 64-byte page write, hardware/software write protection via WP/HOLD pins, and automotive-grade industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring low-voltage operation and robust data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128A-10TI-1.8 datasheet, AT25128A-10TI-1.8 pinout, AT25128A-10TI-1.8 application, or AT25128A-10TI-1.8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 pin mapping, real-world use cases in power management and sensor calibration, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The AT25128A-10TI-1.8 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), using separate SI (input) and SO (output) lines for full-duplex communication. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, status register with RDY/BUSY flag and BP0/BP1 block protection bits, and nonvolatile WPEN control enabling hardware write protection.
All operations are initiated by CS falling edge; write cycles are self-timed (≤5 ms max), require prior WREN instruction, and support automatic address increment during multi-byte reads/writes. HOLD suspends ongoing transfers without resetting sequence state, while WP pin-when enabled-blocks status register writes and protected memory segments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8) - provides sufficient space for firmware parameters, calibration data, or device identity storage in compact embedded designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5 V - supports high-speed configuration loading in time-critical boot sequences. |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 cycles - ensures reliable field updates for devices requiring periodic recalibration or logging. |

Pinout & Package
AT25128A-10TI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide body, with standard gull-wing lead form and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are Pb-free and halogen-free per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be low to accept instructions and data; high-Z SO when CS high. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all SI/SO data transfers; supports up to 20 MHz at 5 V. |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and write data; MSB-first transmission required. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; tri-states when CS high or during HOLD suspension. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.8–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended near pin. |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN=1 and WP=low. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal address counter or command state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode Compatibility | Supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and Mode 3 (1,1), ensuring interoperability with diverse MCU SPI peripherals including ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and STM32 families. |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via status register to protect top 1/4, top 1/2, or entire memory array-prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot or calibration data. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Guaranteed functionality down to 1.8 V enables integration into battery-powered IoT nodes and energy-harvesting systems without voltage boosters. |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle | No external erase step needed; internal timing eliminates need for software delay loops or polling overhead beyond RDSR readiness check. |
| High-Reliability Nonvolatility | 100K write cycles and >100-year data retention meet industrial equipment longevity requirements without wear-leveling firmware. |
Applications

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 SPI EEPROM, 2.5–5.5 V supply, 20 MHz max, SOIC-8, but lacks HOLD pin and has no 1.8 V support. | Not suitable for ultra-low-voltage systems; requires ≥2.5 V, limiting compatibility with 1.8 V MCUs or battery-depleted states. | Select when 1.8 V operation is unnecessary and HOLD functionality is unused; offers identical pinout and basic command set. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | 128 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max, 8-pin TSSOP (JEDEC), includes write protection via WP pin and ADDR pins for device addressing. | I²C interface requires different MCU peripheral and timing handling; lower speed limits high-throughput configuration loads. | Choose for designs already using I²C infrastructure or needing multi-device bus sharing; not drop-in SPI replacement. |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and BR24G128FJ-WE2, AT25128A-10TI-1.8 uniquely combines 1.8 V operation, HOLD capability, and SPI Mode 0/3 flexibility-making it optimal for mixed-voltage, interrupt-sensitive embedded systems where deterministic timing and low-power startup are critical.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the AT25128A-10TI-1.8?
The AT25128A-10TI-1.8 operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, enabling direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic systems. This dual-voltage capability eliminates level shifters in mixed-supply designs and supports brown-out operation down to 1.8 V, making AT25128A-10TI-1.8 ideal for battery-powered and energy-constrained applications.
Does the AT25128A-10TI-1.8 support SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, the AT25128A-10TI-1.8 explicitly supports both SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), as confirmed in its official datasheet. This dual-mode compatibility ensures seamless integration with a broad range of microcontrollers-including legacy 8051 derivatives and modern ARM Cortex-M series-without requiring custom SPI peripheral configuration.
How does the HOLD pin function on the AT25128A-10TI-1.8?
The HOLD pin on AT25128A-10TI-1.8 suspends ongoing SPI communication without resetting the internal address counter or command state. When asserted low (with SCK low), it places SO in high-impedance and ignores SI inputs until de-asserted. This allows master devices to pause transfers during bus arbitration or interrupt servicing-preserving AT25128A-10TI-1.8's operational context.
What is the maximum write endurance and data retention of the AT25128A-10TI-1.8?
The AT25128A-10TI-1.8 guarantees 100,000 write/erase cycles and greater than 100 years of data retention at rated temperatures. These values are measured under standard conditions (5.0 V, 25°C for endurance; typical operating conditions for retention) and reflect actual qualification testing-not extrapolated estimates-ensuring AT25128A-10TI-1.8 meets long-life industrial deployment requirements.
Is the AT25128A-10TI-1.8 pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 EEPROMs like the M95128?
No, AT25128A-10TI-1.8 is not fully pin-compatible with M95128 variants: while both use SOIC-8 packages and share CS, SCK, SI, SO, GND, VCC, and WP pin positions, AT25128A-10TI-1.8 includes a dedicated HOLD pin (pin 3), whereas M95128-WMN6TP uses pin 3 as NC. Substituting without board revision risks unconnected HOLD signals or unintended behavior during SPI pauses.
