Product details
Overview
AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 from Atmel (now Microchip) is a 2 Mbit serial Flash memory IC optimized for low-voltage embedded systems, featuring SPI interface compatibility (Modes 0 and 3), 33 MHz max clock rate, 2.7–3.6 V operation, and sector-based write protection across four 64 KB sectors.
For engineers reviewing the AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 datasheet, AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 pinout, AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 application, or AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC SOIC package details, self-timed erase/program timing, hardware/software write protection mechanisms, and real-world use cases in industrial firmware storage and boot code retention.
Technical Context
The AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dedicated SI/SO pins, CS-controlled selection, and HOLD/ WP pins for communication suspension and hardware-level write lockout. It uses an 8-bit instruction register with MSB-first data transfer and supports RDID, RDSR, WRSR, READ, PROGRAM, SECTOR ERASE, and CHIP ERASE op-codes.
Internally, it organizes 262,144 × 8-bit memory as four uniform 64 KB sectors (000000–00FFFF to 030000–03FFFF), each containing 256 pages. Block protection is controlled via nonvolatile BP0/BP1 bits in the status register, enabling 1/4, 1/2, or full-array lockout - independent of WP pin state when WPEN = 0.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; device ignores SI and drives SO high-Z when CS is high |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; timing-critical for all SPI transactions (min 9 ns high/low time) |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and program data; MSB-first, setup/hold times enforced |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; transitions within 9 ns of SCK edge (tV) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor required near VCC/GND pins |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; max 4.2 V absolute rating; ICC1 = 17 mA typical during 33 MHz read |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lockout for status register writes when WPEN = 1 and WP = low |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting sequence; requires SCK low before assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Support | Interoperates with common MCU SPI peripherals without mode translation logic |
| Page Programming (256-byte) | Reduces programming overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes; address wraps within page boundary |
| Four Independent 64 KB Sectors | Enables atomic firmware updates: one sector active while another is erased/rewritten |
| Hardware + Software Write Protection | WP pin + BP0/BP1 bits allow layered security: hardware lockout for critical sectors, software control for dynamic partitions |
| Self-Timed Erase/Program Cycles | Removes need for external timing control; RDSR polling confirms completion (RDY bit) |
| Manufacturer/Product ID Read (RDID) | Verifies device identity in-system (0x1F 0x63) - essential for BOM validation and counterfeit detection |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7?
The AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with absolute maximum supply voltage rated at 4.2 V. It draws 17 mA typical during 33 MHz read operations at 3.6 V and only 2–10 µA in standby (CS = VCC). This low-voltage range allows direct integration with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters.
Does AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes, AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 explicitly supports SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as confirmed in its official datasheet. This dual-mode capability ensures interoperability with a broad range of microcontrollers, including legacy 8051 and modern ARM Cortex-M families, without requiring firmware workarounds.
How does hardware write protection work on AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7?
Hardware write protection on AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 is enabled by pulling the WP pin low *and* setting the WPEN bit to "1" in the status register. When active, it inhibits all writes to the status register (including BP0/BP1) and protects locked sectors from program/erase commands. If WPEN = 0, the WP pin is ignored - allowing flexible system-level protection schemes.
What is the sector erase time for AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7?
The AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 requires 1 second per 64 KB sector for erase operations, as specified in Table 3 of its datasheet. This time is self-timed and fixed - no external delay or polling is needed beyond checking the RDY bit via RDSR. The consistent 1 s duration simplifies firmware timing logic for safe sector management.
Can AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 be used in industrial temperature applications?
Yes, AT25F2048N-10SU-2.7 is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as indicated by the "Industrial Temperature" designation in its ordering information. Its DC and AC characteristics, including supply current, timing parameters, and endurance, are guaranteed across this full range - making it suitable for factory automation, outdoor metering, and transportation electronics.
