Product details
Overview
AT25320-10PI from Atmel is a 32-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 4096 × 8-bit memory, rated for industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C), supporting 2.7–5.5 V operation, 3.0 MHz clock rate at 5 V, and 32-byte page write mode with block write protection. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT25320-10PI datasheet, AT25320-10PI pinout, AT25320-10PI application, or AT25320-10PI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature range, hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register, SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, self-timed 5 ms typical write cycle, and endurance of one million write cycles.
Technical Context
The AT25320-10PI operates as an SPI slave device with dedicated SI (input) and SO (output) pins, requiring CS low to initiate communication and supporting MSB-first data transfer. Its instruction set includes WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, and WRITE, all synchronized to SCK edges with strict timing constraints on tWH, tWL, tSU, and tH.
Block write protection is implemented via nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits in the status register, enabling protection of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the memory array. The HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial transfers without resetting the sequence, while the WP pin-when enabled via WPEN bit-blocks status register writes during low assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 32 Kbit (4096 × 8-bit), sufficient for firmware parameter tables or calibration data in embedded controllers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-rail systems and brown-out tolerant designs |
| Max Clock Frequency | 3.0 MHz at 5 V - enables fast configuration reads without CPU bus contention |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms typical - defines minimum interval between successive page writes |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - ensures >10 years of daily reconfiguration in industrial logging applications |
| Data Retention | 100 years - guarantees long-term integrity of stored calibration or security keys |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and factory-floor PLCs |
Pinout & Package
AT25320-10PI is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (package code 8P3), 0.300" wide, with standard JEDEC pinout and through-hole mounting compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable: must be low for all SPI transactions; high impedance on SO when CS high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; timing-critical input governing tWH/tWL and data sampling edges |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and write data; ignored during HOLD or write cycles |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; tri-states when CS high or during HOLD |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance to meet tV and VOL specs |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply; decoupling capacitor required per AC characteristics (CL = 100 pF) |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; no effect if WPEN = 0 |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses SPI transfer mid-sequence when pulled low with SCK low; preserves address counter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Support | Compatible with legacy 68HC11 and modern ARM Cortex-M SPI peripherals without mode translation logic |
| 32-byte Page Write | Enables burst programming of configuration blocks while minimizing write latency vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| Four-Tier Block Protection | BP0/BP1 bits allow selective lockdown of memory regions-e.g., protect calibration sector while updating logs |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | No external erase command needed; internal timing eliminates need for software delay loops or polling overhead |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Validated operation across −40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in uncontrolled environments like motor drives or HVAC controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95320-WMN6TP | 32 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 2.5–5.5 V, 20 MHz max clock, 5 ms write time, same 8-lead SOIC package | Higher speed and broader voltage range; lacks HOLD pin and 1.8 V option | Preferred where faster read/write throughput is required and HOLD functionality is unused |
| 25AA320A-I/P | 32 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5 V, 10 MHz max clock, 5 ms write time, 8-pin PDIP package | Same industrial temp grade and PDIP footprint; supports 1.8 V operation not available in AT25320-10PI | Best choice when system operates down to 1.8 V or requires Microchip's AEC-Q100-qualified variants |
Compared with M95320-WMN6TP and 25AA320A-I/P, the AT25320-10PI offers unique HOLD pin functionality for interrupt-safe SPI pauses and robust industrial-temperature validation at 2.7–5.5 V, making it optimal for deterministic real-time control systems where communication suspension and environmental resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AT25320-10PI?
The AT25320-10PI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the AT25080/160/320/640 ordering information table, where "AT25320-10PI" is explicitly listed under the Industrial (−40°C to +85°C) operation range column. The device undergoes full characterization across this range for all DC and AC parameters.
Does the AT25320-10PI support 1.8 V operation?
No, the AT25320-10PI does not support 1.8 V operation. Its specified supply voltage range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V, as indicated by the "-10PI" suffix (denoting industrial grade with 2.7–5.5 V operation) and confirmed in the DC Characteristics table (VCC2 min = 2.7 V). For 1.8 V operation, Atmel offers the AT25320-10PI-1.8 variant, which carries a distinct part number.
How many write cycles can the AT25320-10PI endure?
The AT25320-10PI guarantees 1 million write cycles per memory location, as stated in the Features section and verified in the Endurance specification (5.0 V, 25°C, Page Mode). This endurance applies to both byte and page write operations and is validated across the full industrial temperature range.
What package type is used for the AT25320-10PI?
The AT25320-10PI is packaged in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual Inline Package), designated as package code 8P3 per Atmel's ordering information. This is a through-hole, 0.300" wide package with JEDEC-standard pinout and dimensions, fully documented in the Packaging Information section.
Can the AT25320-10PI be used with SPI Mode 1 or Mode 2?
No, the AT25320-10PI only supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as explicitly stated in the Features section. It does not support Mode 1 or Mode 2 due to fixed sampling and setup timing relative to SCK edges, which are defined for Mode 0/3 only in the AC Characteristics table.
