Product details
Overview
AT25640A-10TI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64 Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 8192 × 8-bit memory, supporting 2.7–5.5 V operation, 20 MHz clock rate at 5 V, and 32-byte page write mode. It features hardware/software write protection, automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and TSSOP-8 packaging for space-constrained industrial control and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AT25640A-10TI-2.7 datasheet, AT25640A-10TI-2.7 pinout, AT25640A-10TI-2.7 application, or AT25640A-10TI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage SPI compatibility, block-level write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, or full array), self-timed 5 ms max write cycle, 1 million endurance cycles, and TSSOP-8 footprint suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT25640A-10TI-2.7 operates as an SPI slave device with dedicated SI/SO lines, supports Modes 0 and 3, and uses CS-driven selection with HOLD for communication suspension. Its status register (BP1/BP0/WPEN) enables nonvolatile, configurable memory segmentation protection.
It requires WREN before WRITE, supports automatic address increment during READ, and enforces write disable via WRDI or WP pin assertion when WPEN=1. Internal write cycles ignore all commands except RDSR, ensuring deterministic READY/BUSY polling via bit 0 of the status register.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8192 × 8-bit), enabling storage of firmware patches, calibration data, or configuration registers in resource-limited microcontroller systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz at VCC = 5 V - enables fast bulk read/write transfers (e.g., 32-byte page write in ~1.6 ms) |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - defines minimum interval between successive write operations; no external delay required |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - suitable for field-updatable systems requiring long-term reliability |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLCs, and outdoor metering applications |
| Package | 8-lead TSSOP (8A2), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm footprint - provides thermal and mechanical robustness while minimizing board area |
Pinout & Package
AT25640A-10TI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC-compliant 8A2 outline, with 0.65 mm pitch, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body size, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire SPI transaction; controls SO output state (high-Z when high) |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only master-generated clock; timing-critical for setup/hold compliance; supports up to 20 MHz at 5 V |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Accepts op-codes, addresses, and data; MSB-first; ignored during HOLD or when CS is high |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Tri-state output delivering read data or status bits; high-Z when CS high or during HOLD |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance to minimize noise on SPI lines |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended within 10 mm of VCC/GND pins |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN=1; tied low to enforce read-only mode |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting sequence; requires SCK low during assertion/deassertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 32-byte Page Write Mode | Enables efficient burst programming of up to 32 contiguous bytes per CS pulse, reducing total write time vs. byte-wise writes |
| Four-Level Block Protection | Configurable via status register (BP1/BP0) to lock 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory - prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration or security keys |
| Hardware + Software Write Protection | WP pin + WRSR instruction allow layered defense: WPEN bit enables/disables hardware lock, while WRDI disables all writes regardless of WP state |
| Automotive-Grade Qualification | Meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HAST, and ESD - validated for use in vehicle ECUs and ADAS subsystems |
| Low Standby Current | 2.0 µA typical at 5 V (ISB3), <0.1 µA at 1.8 V (ISB1) - extends battery life in always-on telematics and 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95640-DW DW | STMicroelectronics 64 Kbit SPI EEPROM; identical 2.7–5.5 V range, 20 MHz max, TSSOP-8 package, but rated −40°C to +125°C (extended temp) | Preferred for under-hood automotive sensors where ambient exceeds +85°C | Select M95640-DW when extended temperature qualification is mandatory and WPEN-controlled block protection is acceptable |
| BR24G64FJ-WE2 | Rohm 64 Kbit SPI EEPROM; 1.7–5.5 V range, 10 MHz max, same TSSOP-8 footprint, but lacks HOLD pin and uses different status register layout | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer IoT devices where HOLD functionality is unused | Choose BR24G64FJ-WE2 only if system design omits HOLD usage and can accommodate alternate write-protection implementation |
Compared with M95640-DW and BR24G64FJ-WE2, AT25640A-10TI-2.7 offers optimal balance of industrial temperature range, full SPI feature set (HOLD, WP, page write), and proven AEC-Q100 compliance - making it the preferred choice for automotive body electronics and industrial control where functional completeness and qualification rigor are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25640A-10TI-2.7?
The AT25640A-10TI-2.7 supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when VCC = 5.0 V. At 2.7 V, the maximum clock rate is 10 MHz, and at 1.8 V it drops to 5 MHz. These values are specified in the AC Characteristics table and must be observed to ensure reliable data sampling and setup/hold timing compliance.
Does AT25640A-10TI-2.7 require an external erase cycle before writing?
No, AT25640A-10TI-2.7 does not require a separate erase cycle. All write operations are self-timed and automatically erase the target memory location prior to programming. The internal write cycle completes in ≤5 ms, after which the RDY bit (bit 0 of status register) clears to indicate readiness for the next command.
How is block write protection configured on AT25640A-10TI-2.7?
Block write protection on AT25640A-10TI-2.7 is configured by setting BP1 and BP0 bits in the status register via the WRSR instruction. These bits define four protection levels: 00 (no protection), 01 (1/4 array), 10 (1/2 array), or 11 (full array). Protection applies only when WPEN = 1 and WP pin is low, or when software write disable is active.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on AT25640A-10TI-2.7?
The HOLD pin on AT25640A-10TI-2.7 suspends ongoing SPI communication without resetting the internal address counter or command state. When asserted low (with SCK low), it places SO in high-impedance and ignores SI inputs. Deasserting HOLD resumes transmission from the exact point of suspension, preserving multi-byte read/write sequences.
Is AT25640A-10TI-2.7 compatible with both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, AT25640A-10TI-2.7 is explicitly compatible with SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1). This dual-mode support allows seamless integration with diverse microcontrollers including legacy 68HC11 derivatives and modern ARM Cortex-M devices without requiring protocol translation or GPIO bit-banging.
