Product details
Overview
AT25128AN-10SI-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, featuring 20 MHz max clock rate at 5V, 64-byte page write capability, and hardware/software write protection via WP and HOLD pins. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in industrial controllers, automotive body modules, and embedded sensor nodes requiring reliable low-voltage data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 application, or AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, JEDEC SOIC-8 package, 100,000 write endurance, and block protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, or full array).
Technical Context
The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with separate SI (input) and SO (output) lines, supporting MSB-first transmission and op-code–driven command execution (e.g., WREN, WRITE, RDSR). Its internal architecture includes a nonvolatile status register with BP0/BP1 for block protection and WPEN for hardware write protect enable control.
It operates exclusively as a slave device with chip-select–gated communication; the HOLD pin suspends ongoing transfers without resetting the sequence, while the WP pin-when enabled-blocks writes to protected memory regions and the status register. All write cycles are self-timed with ≤5 ms duration and require explicit WREN activation prior to WRITE.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package meets RoHS, lead-free, and halogen-free requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal - must be driven low to initiate SPI communication; high-Z SO when CS is high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock input - synchronizes all SI/SO data transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Command/address/data input path - accepts op-codes (e.g., 0x02 for WRITE) and payload bytes |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Read data output path - tri-stated when CS is high or during HOLD; MSB-first format |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input - powers internal logic and memory array; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended near pin |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock control - blocks status register and protected memory writes when WP = low and WPEN = 1 |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses active SPI transfer - holds SO in high-Z and ignores SI while SCK is low; resumes on rising HOLD edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Support | Enables interoperability with diverse MCUs including ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and STM32 families without protocol translation |
| 64-byte Page Write | Reduces write latency versus byte-write - allows efficient programming of configuration blocks up to 64 bytes per cycle |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via status register (BP1/BP0) to lock top 1/4, 1/2, or entire memory - prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware data |
| Hardware + Software Protection | Combines WP pin (physical lock) and WRSR instruction (programmable lock) - provides layered security for production programming and field updates |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | No external erase step required - simplifies firmware design and eliminates timing-critical erase management code |

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 range, 20 MHz speed, SOIC-8 package, but uses different status register bit layout and lacks HOLD pin | Supports same industrial temperature range and page write, but HOLD functionality absent - unsuitable where master-initiated pause is required | Select M95128-WMN6TP only if HOLD is unused and ST's write-protection scheme aligns with system firmware |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | Rohm 128 Kbit SPI EEPROM; 1.7–5.5V range, 10 MHz max clock, TSSOP-8 package, integrated error correction (ECC), no WP/HOLD pins | Lower speed and no hardware suspend/protection - targets cost-sensitive consumer applications, not industrial control | Choose BR24G128FJ-WE2 only for battery-powered devices needing ultra-low ISB (<1 µA) and ECC robustness, not real-time control |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and BR24G128FJ-WE2, AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 uniquely delivers HOLD functionality, consistent WP/HOLD pin behavior across voltage ranges, and verified −40°C to +85°C performance - making it optimal for deterministic industrial SPI subsystems requiring guaranteed suspend and hardware lock.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7?
The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency at VCC = 5.0V, 10 MHz at 2.7V–3.6V, and 5 MHz at 1.8V–2.6V. These values are specified in the AC Characteristics table and validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 must be operated within these limits to ensure reliable command execution and data integrity during read/write cycles.
Does the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as confirmed in the Features section and Functional Description. This dual-mode capability allows seamless integration with microcontrollers that default to either polarity/phase configuration without requiring additional software abstraction layers. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 does not support Modes 1 or 2.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active SPI transaction on the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7?
The HOLD pin on the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 suspends serial communication when driven low while SCK is low - preserving the current address and data state without resetting the sequence. During HOLD, SI inputs are ignored and SO enters high-impedance. To resume, HOLD must be raised high while SCK remains low. This behavior is defined in the HOLD functional description and timing diagrams. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 maintains full compatibility with this protocol across all supported voltage and temperature conditions.
What memory protection options are available on the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7?
The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 offers three levels of block write protection (none, top 1/4, top 1/2, or full array) controlled by BP0/BP1 bits in the status register, plus hardware write protection via the WP pin when WPEN = 1. Protection is nonvolatile and persists across power cycles. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 also supports software write disable (WRDI) and write enable (WREN) instructions for dynamic control. All protection mechanisms are tested and guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Is the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 pin-compatible with other variants in the AT25128A family?
Yes, the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with all AT25128A variants in the 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) package, including AT25128A-10PI-2.7 and AT25128AW-10SI-2.7. Differences are limited to temperature grade (industrial vs. extended), voltage option (2.7V vs. 1.8V), and packaging (PDIP vs. SOIC vs. TSSOP). The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7 is fully interchangeable at the board level with other 8S1-packaged AT25128A parts.
