Product details
Overview
AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64 Kbit SPI serial EEPROM organized as 8192 × 8-bit memory, supporting 20 MHz clock rate at 5V, 32-byte page write, and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register. It operates across 2.7V–5.5V supply and is qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in JEDEC SOIC-8 package.
For engineers reviewing the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T datasheet, AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T pinout, AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T application, or AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.7V low-voltage operation, 1 million write endurance, 100-year data retention, block write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, full array), and HOLD pin support for suspended serial communication.
Technical Context
The AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T implements a synchronous SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, using separate SI/SO lines and requiring CS-driven op-code sequencing. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit instruction register, nonvolatile status register (WPEN, BP1/BP0, WEN, RDY), and automatic address incrementing during read/write sequences.
It supports self-timed write cycles (≤5 ms), requires explicit WREN before WRITE, and provides dual-layer data protection: software-configurable block protection via WRSR and hardware-enforced inhibition when WP = low and WPEN = 1. The HOLD pin enables pause/resume of ongoing transfers without resetting the serial sequence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8192 × 8-bit), enabling storage of firmware patches, calibration data, or device configuration in space-constrained systems. |
| Interface | SPI slave (Modes 0 and 3), compatible with 68HC11, PIC, ARM Cortex-M, and other microcontrollers with standard SPI peripherals. |
| Max Clock Rate | 20 MHz at VCC = 5.0V - delivers up to 2.5 MB/s effective serial throughput for rapid parameter updates. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million write cycles per memory location - supports frequent logging or counter applications over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at TA ≤ 85°C - ensures long-term reliability for unattended or maintenance-free deployments. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - interoperable with 3.3V logic domains and backward-compatible with legacy 5V systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - certified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and outdoor metering environments. |
Pinout & Package
AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC (8S1) package: 0.150" wide, gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, body dimensions 4.80–5.00 mm × 3.81–3.99 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; initiates op-code reception and places SO in high-impedance when deasserted. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input-only master-generated clock; timing-critical for setup/hold compliance (tSU/tH ≥ 25 ns @ 2.7V). |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and write data MSB-first; ignored during HOLD or write cycles. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data MSB-first; enters high-Z state when CS high or during internal write (RDY = 1). |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all I/O and power currents; must be low-impedance to minimize noise on SPI lines. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–5.5V rail; supplies core logic and I/O buffers; ISB2 = 0.3–2.0 µA standby current at 2.7V. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock: when WP = low and WPEN = 1, blocks all status register writes and protected memory writes. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses active SPI transfer (e.g., mid-read) without resetting address counter; resumes on rising edge while SCK = low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 32-byte Page Write | Enables burst programming of up to 32 contiguous bytes per CS cycle, 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 firmware or calibration tables. |
| Write Enable Latch (WREN) | Separate volatile latch prevents unintended writes; must be set before each WRITE/WRSR command, automatically cleared post-write. |
| HOLD Pin Functionality | Allows host MCU to temporarily halt EEPROM communication (e.g., during interrupt servicing) without losing transaction context or address pointer. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Guaranteed functionality down to 2.7V enables direct integration into battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems without level-shifting. |

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 | Same 64 Kbit density and SOIC-8 package, but rated for 5.5V max only (no 1.8V support); tWC = 5 ms typical, same 1M endurance. | Lacks 1.8V operation and extended temp grade variants; not qualified for −40°C to +125°C automotive use. | Select when design uses 3.3V/5V rails exclusively and does not require extended temperature or ultra-low-voltage capability. |
| 25AA640A-I/SN | Microchip's pin-compatible successor with identical pinout, 2.5V–5.5V range, and enhanced ESD rating (4 kV HBM); same 20 MHz speed and 32-byte page. | Offers improved robustness in noisy industrial environments; shares identical software interface and status register layout. | Prefer for new designs requiring higher ESD immunity or future-proofing; drop-in replacement with no firmware or layout changes. |
Compared with M95640-DW and 25AA640A-I/SN, the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T uniquely supports 2.7V–5.5V operation with industrial temperature rating and HOLD functionality - making it optimal for mixed-voltage embedded systems requiring communication suspension capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T?
The AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T supports up to 20 MHz SCK frequency when operated at VCC = 5.0V. At 2.7V, the maximum clock rate is reduced to 10 MHz per AC characteristics table. This ensures reliable timing margin across voltage and temperature ranges, with tWH/tWL minimums of 40 ns at 2.7V.
How does the WRITE PROTECT (WP) pin function on the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T?
The WP pin on the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T enables hardware write protection only when the WPEN bit in the status register is set to "1". When WP = low and WPEN = 1, writes to the status register and block-protected memory segments are inhibited. If WPEN = 0, the WP pin is disabled regardless of its logic level.
Can the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T perform page writes, and what is the page size?
Yes, the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T supports 32-byte page writes. After loading the WRITE op-code and starting address, up to 32 consecutive bytes can be transmitted in a single CS cycle. The internal address counter auto-increments the five LSBs, wrapping within the current page boundary.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T?
The AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T guarantees 1 million write/erase cycles per memory location and 100 years of data retention at temperatures up to +85°C. These specifications are validated per JEDEC standards and apply across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Does the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T support HOLD functionality, and how is it used?
Yes, the AT25640AN-10SI-2.7-T includes a HOLD pin that suspends ongoing SPI communication without resetting the internal address counter or command state. To pause, assert HOLD low while SCK is low; resume by returning HOLD high while SCK remains low - preserving transaction integrity during MCU interrupts.
