Product details
Overview
AT25128B-MAPDGV-E from Microchip Technology is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified SPI serial EEPROM with 128 Kbits (16,384 × 8) organization, 5 MHz max clock rate at 5V, 64-byte page write capability, and -40°C to +125°C operating range. It features hardware/software write protection via WP pin and STATUS register, self-timed write cycles ≤5 ms, and supports SPI Modes 0 and 3 for robust microcontroller interfacing in engine control units and ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E datasheet, AT25128B-MAPDGV-E pinout, AT25128B-MAPDGV-E application, or AT25128B-MAPDGV-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade reliability data (1M write cycles, 100-year retention), and real-world use context for safety-critical embedded storage selection.
Technical Context
The AT25128B-MAPDGV-E implements a dedicated SPI slave interface with fixed MSb-first data framing, rising-edge input sampling on SI, and falling-edge output latching on SO. Its internal architecture includes a high-voltage generation circuit for EEPROM programming, a pause-capable serial control module, and nonvolatile STATUS register bits (WPEN, BP1/BP0, WEL, RDY/BSY) that persist across power cycles.
It operates across dual voltage grades: 2.5V–5.5V (Grade 1) and 1.7V–5.5V (Grade 3), with separate DC/AC characterization for each. The HOLD pin enables mid-sequence suspension without resetting SCK timing, while the WP pin provides hardware-level inhibition of STATUS register writes when WPEN = 1 - enabling selective block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) independent of software commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 Kbits (16,384 × 8) - sufficient for firmware patch storage, calibration tables, and fault logs in Tier-1 automotive ECUs. |
| Interface | SPI Modes 0 and 3 - compatible with most ARM Cortex-M and Renesas RH850 microcontrollers without protocol translation. |
| Max Clock Rate | 5 MHz at VCC = 5.0V - enables ~40 kByte/s sequential read throughput, meeting boot-time configuration loading requirements. |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms (self-timed) - eliminates need for external polling delay timers; busy flag (RDY/BSY) indicates completion. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1,000,000 write cycles / 100 years data retention at 55°C - qualified for 15+ year vehicle service life under AEC-Q100 stress profiles. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C (Grade 1) - certified for under-hood placement in transmission control modules and battery management systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V to 5.5V - interoperable with 3.3V and 5V MCU I/O domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Page Size | 64 bytes - balances write efficiency and granularity for parameter updates without excessive erase overhead. |
Pinout & Package
AT25128B-MAPDGV-E is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.3 mm × 5.3 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). This RoHS-compliant, green package supports automated reflow soldering and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must transition high→low before SCK to initiate command sequence; requires pull-up resistor (≤10 kΩ) for robust power-up behavior. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output; drives data on falling edge of SCK; enters high-Z when CS high or HOLD active - prevents bus contention in multi-slave SPI systems. |
| WP | Write-Protect | Hardware lock for STATUS register writes when WPEN = 1; allows system-level write disable without firmware intervention - critical for ASIL-B/C functional safety partitions. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC current and signal references; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into EEPROM read/write operations. |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Command/address/data input; samples on rising edge of SCK; MSb-first framing ensures deterministic opcode decoding by host MCU. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Asynchronous master-generated clock; idle state must match SPI mode (low for Mode 0, high for Mode 3) before and after CS assertion. |
| HOLD | Suspend Control | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer (not write cycles) when asserted during SCK low; enables time-critical interrupt handling without bus reinitialization. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5V–5.5V operation; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor within 5 mm to suppress switching noise during write pulses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments (-40°C to +125°C), including temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD (>3 kV HBM) - reduces qualification effort for OEM Tier-1 suppliers. |
| Block write protection (BP1/BP0) | Configurable 1/4, 1/2, or full memory array lock via STATUS register - enables secure separation of bootloader, application, and user-configurable sectors. |
| Hardware + software write protection | WP pin disables STATUS register writes when WPEN = 1; WRDI/WREN opcodes provide runtime control - satisfies ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirement for dual-fault protection. |
| 64-byte page write mode | Reduces average write time per byte by >90% vs. byte-write; minimizes MCU active time during configuration updates - lowers system power consumption. |
| Hold function with no SCK reset | Preserves internal state during SPI suspension; resumes from exact bit position - avoids command retransmission latency in real-time control loops. |
| Nonvolatile STATUS register | WPEN, BP1/BP0 retain settings across power cycles; factory default = WPEN=0, BP1/BP0=00 (no protection) - ensures predictable startup behavior after field updates. |

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, 5 MHz, -40°C to +125°C, but uses different STATUS register bit mapping (BP0/BP1 inverted) and lacks HOLD pin. | No suspend capability; requires firmware redesign to handle mid-transfer interrupts; BP configuration logic differs - not drop-in. | Select only if HOLD functionality is unused and STATUS register initialization code can be modified. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | 128 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1 MHz max, -40°C to +105°C, built-in write-cycle timer, no WP/HOLD pins. | I²C interface requires different MCU peripheral setup and arbitration handling; lower max speed limits high-throughput logging. | Choose for systems already using I²C infrastructure and where 1 MHz bandwidth suffices; avoid for SPI-native automotive platforms. |
Compared with M95128-DRMN6TP/K and BR24G128FJ-WE2, the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E uniquely combines Grade 1 automotive qualification, HOLD pin for real-time SPI suspension, and SPI Mode 0/3 flexibility - making it the only option among the three qualified for ASIL-B EPS and ADAS subsystems requiring deterministic bus control.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E?
The AT25128B-MAPDGV-E supports up to 5 MHz SPI clock frequency at VCC = 5.0V. At lower supply voltages (e.g., 2.5V), the maximum rated frequency remains 5 MHz per datasheet DS20006269B, though system-level timing margins may require derating. This speed enables efficient bulk reads and page writes in automotive bootloaders and configuration managers.
Does the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1). Both modes use rising-edge input sampling on SI and falling-edge output latching on SO. The device requires matching SCK idle state before and after CS assertion - confirmed in Section 5.1 of the official datasheet.
How does the Write-Protect (WP) pin function on the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E?
The WP pin on the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E inhibits all STATUS register writes when WPEN = 1 and WP is driven low. When WPEN = 0, WP has no effect - allowing STATUS register updates even with WP tied to GND. This dual-mode behavior enables flexible system-level protection schemes without requiring firmware changes during hardware integration.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E?
The AT25128B-MAPDGV-E guarantees 1,000,000 write cycles and 100 years of data retention at 55°C, as validated per AEC-Q100 qualification testing. These figures are measured under specified conditions (VCC = 5.0V, TA = 25°C for endurance; TA = 55°C for retention) and reflect actual cell-level performance, not extrapolated projections.
Is the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E pin-compatible with other members of the AT25128B family?
Yes, the AT25128B-MAPDGV-E shares identical 8-lead SOIC pinout and electrical characteristics with all AT25128B variants (e.g., AT25128B-MAHD-T, AT25128B-XMD-T). Pin functions (CS, SO, WP, GND, SI, SCK, HOLD, VCC), timing parameters, and command set are fully consistent across the family - enabling direct substitution within the same package type.
