Product details
Overview
AT25128A-10TI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128 Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 16,384 × 8 bits, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5V, with 64-byte page write capability and hardware/software write protection via WP and HOLD pins. It serves as nonvolatile memory for firmware storage, calibration data retention, and configuration parameter backup in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 datasheet, AT25128A-10TI-2.7 pinout, AT25128A-10TI-2.7 application, or AT25128A-10TI-2.7 equivalent, this device delivers verified SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), block write protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), self-timed 5 ms max write cycle, and JEDEC SOIC-8 packaging with lead-free/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The AT25128A-10TI-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dedicated SI (input), SO (output), SCK (clock), and CS (chip select) signals, requiring no external erase cycle before write. Its status register (8-bit) controls write enable (WEN), ready/busy (RDY), block protection (BP0/BP1), and write protect enable (WPEN) functions.
It supports dual-voltage operation (2.7–5.5V), delivers 100,000 write cycles endurance and >100 years data retention, and features HOLD pin suspension of ongoing serial transfers without resetting sequence state - critical for real-time systems where bus arbitration must preserve transaction integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8) - sufficient for storing bootloader config, sensor calibration tables, or device identity data in space-constrained designs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct integration with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5.0V - supports high-throughput programming in production test environments |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - deterministic timing simplifies host firmware timeout handling during page writes |
| Endurance | 100,000 write cycles - meets industrial logging requirements for field-deployed equipment with daily parameter updates |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability for unattended infrastructure devices (e.g., smart meters, remote sensors) |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - certified for industrial ambient conditions without derating |
Pinout & Package
AT25128A-10TI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide body, RoHS-compliant, with standard gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; drives device into active mode only when low, placing SO in high-impedance state otherwise |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all SI/SO data transfers; supports SPI Modes 0 and 3 |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and write data; MSB-first transmission required per SPI protocol |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status register contents; tri-states automatically when CS is high or HOLD is asserted |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O signals; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise-induced communication errors |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single-supply input supporting 2.7–5.5V; internal regulation ensures stable core voltage across full range |
| WP | Hardware Write Protect | When WPEN=1 and WP=low, blocks all status register writes and protected memory writes - prevents accidental firmware corruption |
| HOLD | Serial Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer (e.g., mid-read or mid-write) without resetting address counter or command state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Compatibility | Direct interoperability with ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and STM32 microcontrollers using standard SPI peripheral drivers without custom timing adjustments |
| 64-byte Page Write | Reduces firmware overhead by enabling burst writes up to 64 bytes per CS assertion - cuts programming time vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable top 1/4, 1/2, or full memory array lock via status register - isolates critical boot code from runtime overwrites |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | No external erase step needed; internal timing eliminates host polling complexity and guarantees completion within 5 ms |
| HOLD Pin Functionality | Enables multi-master arbitration by suspending serial transfers without losing context - essential for shared SPI buses in modular systems |

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 | STMicroelectronics 128 Kbit SPI EEPROM; identical 2.7–5.5V supply, 20 MHz max clock, and SOIC-8 package; differs in status register bit layout and HOLD timing specs | Same industrial temperature grade but lacks WPEN-controlled hardware write protection granularity - uses simpler WP-only blocking | Select when legacy ST ecosystem integration or specific qualification history is required; verify HOLD timing margins against host controller setup/hold constraints |
| BR24G128FJ-3GE2 | Rohm 128 Kbit SPI EEPROM; supports 1.7–5.5V range, 10 MHz max clock at 1.8V, SOIC-8; includes built-in error correction (ECC) and enhanced write endurance (400K cycles) | Superior low-voltage performance and ECC support suit battery-powered IoT nodes; not drop-in due to different status register map and slower max speed at 5V | Prefer for energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications needing extended write lifetime and fault resilience; requires firmware adaptation for status register access |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and BR24G128FJ-3GE2, the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 offers finer-grained block protection (1/4/1/2/full array) and deterministic 5 ms write timing, making it optimal for industrial systems requiring precise configuration lockdown and predictable firmware update latency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25128A-10TI-2.7?
The AT25128A-10TI-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when operated at VCC = 5.0V. At lower supply voltages (e.g., 2.7V), the maximum rated clock frequency drops to 10 MHz per AC characteristics tables. This ensures reliable timing margin across its full 2.7–5.5V operating range, and the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 datasheet specifies exact tWH/tWL values for each voltage bin to guide host controller configuration.
Does AT25128A-10TI-2.7 require an external erase cycle before writing?
No, the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 performs fully self-timed write operations with no separate erase step required. Each WRITE instruction automatically handles erase-and-program internally, completing within 5 ms maximum. The AT25128A-10TI-2.7 remains responsive to RDSR commands during this cycle to report RDY/BUSY status, simplifying host firmware design versus parallel EEPROM architectures.
How does the HOLD pin function on AT25128A-10TI-2.7?
The HOLD pin on AT25128A-10TI-2.7 suspends ongoing SPI communication (read or write) without resetting the internal address counter or command state. When asserted low while SCK is low, it places SO in high-impedance and ignores SI inputs until de-asserted. This allows multi-master arbitration or CPU interrupt servicing without corrupting the current transaction - a key feature confirmed in the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 functional description and timing diagrams.
What package type is used for AT25128A-10TI-2.7?
AT25128A-10TI-2.7 uses an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (designated 8S1), 0.150" wide body, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. This package is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The AT25128A-10TI-2.7 ordering information explicitly maps "-10TI-2.7" to the 8S1 footprint, distinguishing it from PDIP, TSSOP, or dBGA2 variants.
Can AT25128A-10TI-2.7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, AT25128A-10TI-2.7 is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and offered in automotive-grade versions (e.g., AT25128A-10SE-2.7 for −40°C to +125°C). While the AT25128A-10TI-2.7 itself is not AEC-Q200 certified, its construction, testing, and qualification data align with automotive subsystem requirements for infotainment, body control, and sensor modules where extended temperature tolerance is mandatory.
