Product details
Overview
AT25128AN-10SU-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, featuring 64-byte page write, hardware/software write protection, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring low-power, reliable data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 datasheet, AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 pinout, AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 application, or AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, 5 ms max self-timed write cycle, block write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, or full array), VCC voltage range compliance, and SOIC-8 package mechanical fit for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with separate SI (input) and SO (output) pins, supporting MSB-first transmission and op-code–driven command execution (e.g., WREN, WRITE, RDSR). It uses an internal 8-bit instruction register and requires CS low to initiate communication.
Its architecture includes a nonvolatile status register with BP0/BP1 bits for block protection, WPEN bit enabling hardware write protection via the WP pin, and RDY/WEN flags for real-time readiness and write-enable state monitoring - all accessible via RDSR/WRSR instructions without interrupting ongoing operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbit (16,384 × 8), sufficient for firmware calibration tables or device configuration profiles in resource-limited MCUs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5.0V - enables fast bulk read/write for time-critical parameter updates. |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - defines worst-case latency for persistent data commit; no external erase required. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles and >100 years data retention - suitable for long-life industrial deployments with infrequent but critical writes. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation without derating in ambient-temperature-variable environments. |
| Interface Protocol | SPI Modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) - ensures interoperability with diverse host controllers including ARM Cortex-M and legacy 8051 derivatives. |
Pinout & Package
AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide body, RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be held low during entire SPI transaction to assert device presence on bus. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only clock input; synchronizes SI data sampling and SO data output; determines max throughput (20 MHz @ 5V). |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Unidirectional input for op-codes, addresses, and write data; MSB-first format required per SPI specification. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Unidirectional output for read data and status register contents; high-impedance when CS is high or HOLD is active. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC current and digital I/O reference; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into SPI signals. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (2.7–5.5V); powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers; bypass capacitor recommended. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN=1 and WP=low; prevents accidental overwrites. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting sequence; allows host to service higher-priority interrupts mid-transaction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 64-byte Page Write | Enables efficient multi-byte programming within a single write cycle, reducing total commit time versus byte-by-byte writes. |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via status register to protect top 1/4, top 1/2, or entire memory array - secures boot code or calibration constants. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | Combines WP pin control (hardware) with WREN/WRDI instructions (software) for layered data integrity assurance. |
| Self-timed Internal Write | Eliminates need for external timing control or polling delay; host can issue RDSR to check RDY bit for completion. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation, metering, and outdoor electronics. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Medical Device Calibration Data |

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 | 128 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5V supply, 20 MHz max, SOIC-8, but lacks HOLD pin and uses different status register layout. | No HOLD functionality limits use in interrupt-driven hosts; different BP bit mapping requires firmware adaptation. | Select when HOLD is unused and existing software can accommodate alternate status register definitions. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | 128 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5V, 1 MHz max, TSSOP-8; uses two-wire interface and has built-in write-cycle suspend. | I²C interface reduces pin count but halves max throughput vs. SPI; no native block protection - relies on software locking. | Prefer for designs prioritizing pin count reduction over speed and where I²C infrastructure already exists. |
Compared with M95128-DRMN6TP/K and BR24G128FJ-WE2, the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 uniquely delivers HOLD-assisted interrupt tolerance, configurable block protection, and SPI Mode 0/3 flexibility - making it optimal for deterministic, high-speed, and security-sensitive embedded configurations.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7?
The AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when VCC = 5.0V. At lower voltages (2.7V–3.6V), the maximum rated clock frequency drops to 10 MHz, and at 1.8V operation (not applicable to this -2.7 variant), it is 5 MHz. These values are specified in Table 1-3 of the datasheet and reflect guaranteed timing margins under industrial temperature conditions.
Does the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as stated in the Features section. The device operates as a slave with separate SI/SO lines and MSB-first data framing. Mode selection is handled entirely by the host controller; no internal configuration is required to switch between them.
How does the write protection mechanism work on the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7?
The AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 implements dual-layer write protection: software-based via WREN/WRDI instructions and hardware-based via the WP pin. When WPEN = 1 in the status register and WP is pulled low, writes to the status register and protected memory blocks are blocked. Block protection levels (none, top 1/4, top 1/2, or full array) are set using BP0/BP1 bits, as defined in Table 3-4.
What package type is used for the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7?
The AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 uses an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), 0.150" wide body, with lead-free and halogen-free construction. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 15) and matches the pin diagram labeled "8-lead SOIC" in the datasheet. It is not PDIP, TSSOP, dBGA2, or SAP.
Is the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the AT25128AN-10SU-2.7 is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not qualified to AEC-Q100 standards. While it may function in some automotive subsystems, Microchip's official documentation states "Atmel's products are not intended, authorized, or warranted for use as components in applications intended to support or sustain life," and automotive use is explicitly excluded unless designated with an "A" suffix (e.g., AT25128A-W1.8-11).
