Product details
Overview
AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128K-bit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 16,384 × 8 bits, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V with 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 data storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules requiring reliable low-voltage operation.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T datasheet, AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T pinout, AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T application, or AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC SOIC-8 package details, SPI Mode 0/3 timing compliance, endurance (100,000 cycles), and automotive-grade temperature support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with separate SI/SO lines, MSB-first data transfer, and chip-select–driven op-code protocol. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register supporting WREN/WRDI/RDSR/WRSR/READ/WRITE commands and a nonvolatile status register with BP0/BP1/WPEN bits for block protection configuration.
It features dual-voltage compatibility (2.7V–5.5V), self-timed 5 ms max write cycle, and hardware suspend via HOLD pin-enabling interruption of ongoing SPI sequences without reset. Write protection operates through both dedicated WP pin (when WPEN=1) and software-controlled status register bits, allowing selective 1/4, 1/2, or full array lock.

Pinout & Package
AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T uses an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" body width, with gull-wing leads and industry-standard footprint (5.00 mm × 4.00 mm). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-001AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; must be low-impedance connection per layout guidelines. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–5.5V input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of pin. |
| WP | Hardware Write Protect | Low-active pin blocking status register and protected memory writes when WPEN=1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95128-DRMN6TP/K | STMicroelectronics 128K SPI EEPROM; identical 8-lead SOIC package, 2.5–5.5V range, but rated for −40°C to +105°C only. | Lacks extended −40°C to +125°C option; no HOLD pin - requires host-side SPI transaction management during interrupts. | Select when ambient temperature stays below +105°C and HOLD functionality is not required. |
| BR24G128FJ-3GE2 | Rohm 128K SPI EEPROM; 1.7–5.5V supply, 10 MHz max clock at 1.8V, same SOIC-8 footprint, but no WP/HOLD pins - protection relies solely on software status register. | No hardware write protect or suspend capability; lower speed at low voltage - unsuitable for high-throughput logging. | Choose for ultra-low-voltage (1.7V) systems where hardware protection is managed externally. |
Compared with M95128-DRMN6TP/K and BR24G128FJ-3GE2, the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T uniquely combines HOLD pin suspend, dual-voltage hardware WP, and −40°C to +125°C extended grade support - critical for robust industrial and automotive deployments requiring deterministic SPI session control and fail-safe write blocking.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T?
The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T 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 operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T must be operated within these limits to ensure reliable read/write timing margins and avoid command rejection.
Does the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T require an external pull-up resistor on the SO pin?
No, the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T has an internally weak pull-up on the SO pin during standby, but it is not intended for bus contention resolution. When multiple SPI slaves share the same SO line, an external pull-up (typically 4.7 kΩ to VCC) is required to maintain defined logic high during high-impedance states. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T datasheet specifies SO output drive strength (IOL = 3.0 mA at 5V), confirming active push-pull operation during reads.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active write cycle in the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T?
The HOLD pin is disabled during an internal write cycle (tWC = 5 ms max) - asserting HOLD low will have no effect on the ongoing programming operation. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T only responds to HOLD during active SPI communication (CS low, SCK toggling). This ensures write atomicity: once initiated, the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T completes the entire byte or page write before returning to ready state, regardless of HOLD state.
Can the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T be used in a 1.8V system?
No - the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T is a 2.7V–5.5V device (denoted by "-2.7" suffix). For 1.8V operation, the correct variant is AT25128AN-10SI-1.8, which guarantees full functionality down to 1.8V. Using the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T below 2.7V may result in undefined behavior, failed writes, or increased bit-error rates due to insufficient noise margin and internal voltage regulator headroom.
What happens if the WP pin is held low while the WPEN bit is '0' in the AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T status register?
When WPEN = 0, the WP pin is functionally disabled - holding WP low has no effect on write operations. The AT25128AN-10SI-2.7-T allows full read/write access to the status register and unprotected memory regions regardless of WP pin state. This design permits safe installation in systems where WP is hardwired to GND, while still enabling initial configuration of BP0/BP1 bits before enabling hardware protection.
