Product details
Overview
AT25320W-10SC-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 4096 words × 8 bits, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V, supporting 3.0 MHz clock rate at 5V, with 32-byte page write and hardware/software write protection for automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT25320W-10SC-2.7 datasheet, AT25320W-10SC-2.7 pinout, AT25320W-10SC-2.7 application, or AT25320W-10SC-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC range compatibility (2.7–5.5V), 32-byte page mode timing, block write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, full array), WP/HOLD pin functionality, and JEDEC SOIC-8 package footprint.
Technical Context
The AT25320W-10SC-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, using separate SI and SO pins for full-duplex communication. It features an 8-bit instruction register with op-codes for WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, and WRITE, all MSB-first with CS-driven framing.
Internal architecture includes nonvolatile status register bits (BP1/BP0/WPEN/RDY/WEN) controlling block protection and write enable state, with self-timed internal write cycles (5 ms typical) and no erase-before-write requirement. The HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial transfers without resetting sequence state, while WP enables hardware lock of status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN = 1.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25320W-10SC-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide body, with standard gull-wing lead form and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be low for serial command acceptance and SO output activation |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock input; defines timing for SI sampling and SO output edges per SPI Mode 0/3 |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Command/address/data input path; latched on SCK rising edge (Mode 0) or falling edge (Mode 3) |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Read data or status register output; high-impedance when CS high or during HOLD assertion |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN = 1 and WP = low |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses active serial transfer without resetting address counter; requires SCK low during assertion |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return plane; decoupling capacitor must be placed within 5 mm of VCC and GND pins |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5V); current draw peaks at 5.0 mA during write operations at 2 MHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via status register to protect 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory array - prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration or security keys |
| Hardware + Software Write Lock | WP pin and WRSR instruction jointly control protection scope - enables field-upgradeable security policies without hardware modification |
| Self-timed Write Cycle | 5 ms typical duration with no external timing control required - simplifies host firmware by eliminating busy-wait polling complexity |
| SPI Mode Compatibility | Supports both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) - interoperable with diverse MCU families including PIC, AVR, and ARM Cortex-M |
| HOLD Functionality | Suspends serial communication mid-transfer while preserving address counter state - allows time-critical interrupt servicing without data loss or re-synchronization |

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 clock speed supports faster bulk writes; identical protection scheme and endurance | Select when system clock exceeds 3 MHz or requires tighter tWH/tWL timing margins |
| CAT25320VI-GT3 | 32 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5V supply, 10 MHz max clock, 5 ms write cycle, SOIC-8 package | Broadest VCC range enables single-BOM use across 1.8V and 3.3V platforms; same pinout and instruction set | Select for multi-voltage designs or where 1.8V operation below 2.7V is required |
Compared with AT25320W-10SC-2.7, M95320-WMN6TP offers higher-speed SPI throughput but shares identical memory organization and protection logic, while CAT25320VI-GT3 extends low-voltage capability to 1.8V-enabling direct integration into ultra-low-power sensor nodes without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25320W-10SC-2.7?
The AT25320W-10SC-2.7 supports up to 3.0 MHz at VCC = 5.0V, 2.1 MHz at VCC = 2.7–3.6V, and 0.5 MHz at VCC = 1.8–2.6V. These values are specified in the AC Characteristics table and reflect guaranteed timing margins across temperature and voltage. The AT25320W-10SC-2.7 does not operate above 3.0 MHz even at 5V; exceeding this violates tWH/tWL specifications and risks data corruption.
Does AT25320W-10SC-2.7 support 1.8V operation?
No, AT25320W-10SC-2.7 is specifically rated for 2.7V to 5.5V operation, as indicated by the "-2.7" suffix in its ordering code. Devices with "-1.8" suffix (e.g., AT25320-10SI-1.8) support 1.8V–5.5V, but AT25320W-10SC-2.7 is not characterized or guaranteed for reliable operation below 2.7V.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active SPI read sequence?
During an active SPI read, asserting HOLD low while SCK is low pauses data output on SO and freezes the internal address counter. The AT25320W-10SC-2.7 retains full context-including byte address and instruction state-so resuming with HOLD high (while SCK remains low) continues transmission from the exact suspended point without reinitialization or address reset.
What memory protection levels are available on AT25320W-10SC-2.7?
The AT25320W-10SC-2.7 supports four block write protection levels via BP1/BP0 bits: unprotected (00), top 1/4 (01), top 1/2 (10), or full array (11). For the 32K device, these correspond to address ranges 0xC00–0xFFF, 0x800–0xFFF, and 0x000–0xFFF respectively. Protection applies only to write operations; reads remain fully accessible.
Is AT25320W-10SC-2.7 pin-compatible with other members of the AT25xxx family?
Yes, AT25320W-10SC-2.7 shares identical pinout, instruction set, and timing behavior with AT25080, AT25160, and AT25640 in the same SOIC-8 package (e.g., AT25160N-10SI-2.7). Memory size differences affect only address bit count (A11–A0 for AT25320 vs. A12–A0 for AT25640), but CS/SCK/SI/SO/WP/HOLD/GND/VCC assignments and electrical characteristics are fully consistent.
