Product details
Overview
AT25320N-10SI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 4096 × 8-bit words, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V with 3.0 MHz max clock rate at 5V, 32-byte page write capability, and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register. It serves in industrial control systems for parameter storage and calibration data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25320N-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT25320N-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT25320N-10SI-2.7 application, or AT25320N-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC range compatibility (2.7–5.5V), SPI Mode 0/3 support, block write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, full array), self-timed 5 ms typical write cycle, and JEDEC SOIC-8 packaging with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT25320N-10SI-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dedicated SI (input), SO (output), SCK (clock), and CS (chip select) pins, supporting MSB-first transmission and op-code–driven command execution including WREN, WRITE, READ, RDSR, and WRSR. It requires no external erase cycle and uses an internal write state machine that blocks all commands except RDSR during programming.
Block write protection is controlled by nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits in the status register, enabling selective locking of memory segments (0x0C00–0x0FFF for 1/4-array protection on AT25320), while the WPEN bit determines whether the WP pin actively inhibits status register writes. HOLD pin allows mid-transaction suspension without resetting the serial sequence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 32 Kbit (4096 × 8-bit words) - fixed address space requiring A11–A0 addressing |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports mixed-voltage system integration without level shifters |
| Max SPI Clock Frequency | 3.0 MHz at VCC = 5.0V - enables fast configuration reads in time-critical boot sequences |
| Page Write Size | 32 bytes - minimizes transaction overhead when updating contiguous calibration tables |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms typical - defines minimum interval between successive write operations |

Pinout & Package
AT25320N-10SI-2.7 is packaged in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1), 0.150" wide body, with gull-wing leads and standard SOIC footprint compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be low for serial communication; high impedance on SO when CS high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only master-generated clock; timing critical for tWH/tWL (133 ns min at 5V) |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and data; MSB-first, sampled on SCK rising edge (Mode 0) |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data; high-impedance when CS high or during HOLD assertion |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; no effect if WPEN = 0 |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting address counter; requires SCK low to assert |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and I/O; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of VCC/GND pins |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input; supports 2.7–5.5V operation; ISB2 = 0.2–2.0 µA standby current at 2.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode Compatibility | Supports Modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) - interoperable with diverse MCU SPI peripherals |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable 1/4, 1/2, or full array lock via BP0/BP1 bits - prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware parameters |
| Hardware + Software Protection | WP pin + WRSR instruction enable dual-layer security - WPEN bit gates hardware protection, allowing flexible system-level lock strategies |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle | No external timing control needed; internal timer completes write in 5 ms typical - simplifies host firmware design |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation - validated for deployment in motor drives, PLC modules, and outdoor sensor nodes |

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, 2.5–5.5V supply, 20 MHz max clock, 5 ms write cycle, SOIC-8 package | Higher speed (20 MHz vs. 3 MHz) but identical memory size and protection features | Select when system SPI peripheral operates above 3 MHz and requires faster configuration loads |
| BR24G32FJ-3GE2 | 32-Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5V, 1 MHz max clock, 5 ms write cycle, TSSOP-8 package | I²C interface (2-wire) instead of SPI; no HOLD or WP pin; different protocol stack requirements | Choose for space-constrained designs where I²C bus already exists and SPI pins are unavailable |
Compared with M95320-WMN6TP and BR24G32FJ-3GE2, AT25320N-10SI-2.7 offers deterministic SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility with HOLD/WP hardware controls ideal for real-time industrial hosts, whereas M95320 trades interface simplicity for speed and BR24G32FJ substitutes protocol flexibility for pin count reduction.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT25320N-10SI-2.7?
The AT25320N-10SI-2.7 contains 32,768 bits of serial EEPROM memory organized as 4096 words of 8 bits each (4096 × 8). Its address space spans A11–A0, with unused higher address bits ignored per Table 6 in the datasheet. This structure enables direct byte-level access and efficient page writes of up to 32 bytes without external address latching.
Does the AT25320N-10SI-2.7 support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, the AT25320N-10SI-2.7 explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as confirmed in the Features section. It samples SI on the rising edge and drives SO on the falling edge in Mode 0, and vice versa in Mode 3 - making it compatible with a broad range of microcontroller SPI peripherals without protocol translation.
How does write protection work on the AT25320N-10SI-2.7?
AT25320N-10SI-2.7 implements dual-layer write protection: hardware-based via the WP pin (when WPEN = 1) and software-based via BP0/BP1 bits in the status register. WP locks status register writes when pulled low; BP0/BP1 define protected memory segments (e.g., 0x0C00–0x0FFF for 1/4-array lock). Both mechanisms can operate independently or concurrently.
What is the typical write cycle time for the AT25320N-10SI-2.7?
The AT25320N-10SI-2.7 has a typical write cycle time of 5 ms, with a maximum of 10 ms under worst-case conditions (per AC Characteristics table). This self-timed internal cycle eliminates host timing dependencies - the device asserts BUSY (RDY = 1) during programming and only accepts new commands after completion, signaled by RDY = 0 via RDSR.
Is the AT25320N-10SI-2.7 qualified for automotive applications?
The base AT25320 family includes automotive-grade variants (e.g., AT25320AN-10SI-2.7), but AT25320N-10SI-2.7 itself is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) per its ordering information. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for automotive use, designers must select the explicitly designated automotive version with appropriate qualification documentation.
