Product details
Overview
AT25320A-10TI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 4096 words × 8 bits, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V supply, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5V, with 32-byte page write and hardware/software write protection. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in automotive body control modules requiring extended temperature operation and low-voltage compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 datasheet, AT25320A-10TI-1.8 pinout, AT25320A-10TI-1.8 application, or AT25320A-10TI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V–5.5V voltage range, TSSOP-8 package footprint, 100-year data retention, 1 million write cycles, and automotive-grade −40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The AT25320A-10TI-1.8 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, using separate SI/SO lines and CS-controlled selection. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, status register with BP0/BP1 block protection bits, and WPEN bit enabling hardware write protect via the WP pin.
It supports self-timed internal write cycles (≤5 ms), automatic address increment during read, and HOLD pin suspension of serial communication without sequence reset. Block write protection covers 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the 4096-word array, configurable via WRSR instruction and persistent across power cycles.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25320A-10TI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, variation AA), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free/halogen-free, with exposed pad not connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be held low for entire SPI transaction; high impedance SO when CS high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock input; timing-critical for setup/hold compliance; supports up to 20 MHz at 5V |
| SI | Serial Data Input | MOSI line for op-code, address, and data input; MSB-first transmission per SPI standard |
| SO | Serial Data Output | MISO line for read data output; tri-stated when CS high or during HOLD assertion |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC current and signal reference; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single-supply input (1.8–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm of pin |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN = 1 and WP = low |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state; requires SCK low before assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Block Write Protection | Configurable 0%/25%/50%/100% array lock via nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits - prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration or security sectors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95320-DRMN3TP/K | 32 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5 V, 20 MHz max, TSSOP-8, but uses different status register layout and lacks HOLD pin | No HOLD functionality limits use in multi-master SPI systems requiring bus arbitration pause | Select when HOLD is unused and STMicroelectronics supply chain preference applies |
| BR24G32FJ-3GE2 | 32 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max, 8-pin TSSOP, no SPI interface or WP/HOLD pins | I²C protocol requires different MCU peripheral configuration and has lower bandwidth than SPI | Select only if system already uses I²C bus and SPI pins are unavailable |
Compared with M95320-DRMN3TP/K and BR24G32FJ-3GE2, the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 uniquely combines SPI Mode 0/3 support, HOLD pin for seamless bus arbitration, and automotive-qualified 100-year retention-making it optimal for real-time embedded systems where deterministic timing and robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25320A-10TI-1.8?
The AT25320A-10TI-1.8 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when VCC = 5.0 V. At 1.8 V, the maximum rated clock is 5 MHz per AC characteristics tables. This ensures reliable timing margin across its full 1.8–5.5 V operating range, with tWH/tWL specifications scaled accordingly for each voltage bin.
Does the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 require an external pull-up resistor on the SO pin?
No, the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 does not require an external pull-up on the SO pin. Its SO output is actively driven high or low during read operations and enters high-impedance state when CS is high or HOLD is asserted. External pull-ups may cause bus contention and are not recommended per the device's DC and AC electrical specifications.
How is block write protection configured on the AT25320A-10TI-1.8?
Block write protection on the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 is configured by writing to the status register using the WRSR instruction. Bits BP1 and BP0 determine protection level (0% to 100%), and WPEN bit enables hardware protection via the WP pin. These bits are nonvolatile and retain settings across power cycles, with protection enforced during all write attempts to locked memory regions.
What package type is used for the AT25320A-10TI-1.8?
The AT25320A-10TI-1.8 uses an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated as 8A2 per Microchip's ordering guide. It measures 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch, is lead-free/halogen-free, and complies with JEDEC MO-153, variation AA mechanical standards.
Can the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 operate reliably at −40°C?
Yes, the AT25320A-10TI-1.8 is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and fully characterized across this range per DC and AC characteristics tables. Its automotive-grade qualification includes extended temperature stress testing, ensuring guaranteed functionality, 1 million write cycles, and 100-year data retention even at −40°C ambient.
