Product details
Overview
AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 4096 × 8-bit memory, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V with 20 MHz max clock rate at 5V, 32-byte page write capability, and automotive-grade industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 datasheet, AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 pinout, AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 application, or AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 equivalent, key selection considerations include 1.8V low-voltage operation, hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register, 1 million write endurance, 100-year data retention, and compatibility with SPI Mode 0/3 interfaces in space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
The AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 implements a synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) slave architecture with separate SI/SO lines, MSB-first data transfer, and CS-driven command framing. Its internal instruction register supports WREN/WRDI/RDSR/WRSR/READ/WRITE op-codes, enabling precise control of write enable state and block protection levels.
Block write protection is configured via nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits in the status register, allowing selective locking of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the 4096-word array. The HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial communication without resetting the sequence, while the WP pin-when enabled via WPEN bit-blocks all status register writes during low assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 32 Kbit (4096 × 8-bit), directly addressable via 12-bit A11–A0 addressing |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic and mixed-voltage systems |

Pinout & Package
AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 uses an 8-lead Miniature Array Package (MAP), 4.90 mm × 3.00 mm body, non-leaded, dual footprint compatible with SOIC/TSSOP layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; initiates SPI command sequence and places SO in high-Z when deasserted |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; timing reference for SI sampling and SO output (Mode 0/3 compliant) |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-code, address, and data; MSB-first, sampled on SCK rising edge (Mode 0) |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; high-Z when CS high or HOLD active |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; prevents accidental configuration corruption |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without losing internal address/state; requires SCK low to assert |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; powers core logic and I/O buffers; supports brown-out tolerant operation |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital signals and supply current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95320-DFMN6TP | 32 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5V, 20 MHz, but uses standard SOIC-8 (8S1) not MAP (8Y1); no HOLD pin | Lacks HOLD functionality; suitable where suspend capability is unnecessary and SOIC layout exists | Select when board reuse of legacy SOIC footprint is required and HOLD is unused |
| BR24G32FJ-3GE2 | 32 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5V, 1 MHz max, 8-pin TSSOP (8A2); different interface protocol and timing | Requires I²C master instead of SPI; slower write/read due to lower clock rate and no page-write optimization | Choose only if system already uses I²C bus and SPI resources are constrained |
Compared with M95320-DFMN6TP and BR24G32FJ-3GE2, the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 uniquely combines 1.8V SPI operation, HOLD pin support, MAP package for space savings, and automotive temperature qualification - making it optimal for new automotive designs prioritizing interface flexibility and footprint efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 at 1.8V supply?
The AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 supports up to 5 MHz SCK frequency when VCC = 1.8V to 3.6V, per AC Characteristics Table on page 5 of the datasheet. This ensures robust timing margins in low-voltage automotive subsystems while maintaining compatibility with common MCU SPI peripherals.
Does the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 require an external pull-up resistor on the SO pin?
No, the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 features an actively driven SO output with push-pull structure - no external pull-up is needed. The SO pin transitions to high-impedance only when CS is high or HOLD is asserted, eliminating bus contention risks in multi-slave SPI configurations.
How is write protection implemented on the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8?
The AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 implements dual-layer write protection: hardware protection via the WP pin (enabled by WPEN bit) and software protection via BP0/BP1 bits in the status register. When WP is low and WPEN = 1, all status register writes are blocked; BP0/BP1 then define protected memory segments (0%, 25%, 50%, or 100%).
Can the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 be used in extended temperature applications up to +125°C?
No - the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 is rated for −40°C to +85°C (industrial grade). For extended temperature operation up to +125°C, Microchip offers variants like AT25320AN-10SE-2.7 (SOIC-8, −40°C to +125°C), which must be selected explicitly as the Y1 MAP package is not qualified beyond +85°C.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8?
The HOLD pin on the AT25320AY1-10YI-1.8 allows pausing an ongoing SPI transaction without resetting the internal address counter or command state. When asserted low while SCK is low, it places SO in high-Z and ignores SI inputs; resuming requires bringing HOLD high while SCK remains low - preserving partial transfers during MCU interrupt servicing.
