Product details
Overview
AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 from Atmel (now Microchip) is a 4 Mbit serial Flash memory IC optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It delivers SPI-compatible nonvolatile storage with 2.7–3.6 V operation, 33 MHz clock rate, and sector-based architecture comprising eight 64 KB sectors. It supports byte/page programming and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register - used in industrial control firmware storage and boot code retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 datasheet, AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 pinout, AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 application, or AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 8-lead EIAJ SOIC package compatibility, self-timed 30 µs/byte program cycle, 1 s/sector erase timing, sector-level block protection (1/8 to full array), and SPI Mode 0/3 interoperability with microcontroller peripherals.
Technical Context
The AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dedicated SI/SO lines, CS-controlled selection, and HOLD suspension capability. Its instruction set includes WREN/WRDI for write enable/disable, RDSR/WRSR for status register access, and SECTOR ERASE/CHIP ERASE for nonvolatile memory management.
It uses an 8-bit instruction register with MSB-first data transfer and supports programmable block protection via BP0–BP2 bits in the status register. Hardware write protection is conditional on WPEN bit state and WP pin voltage, enabling selective lockdown of top 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or entire 4 Mbit array without requiring external logic.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; device ignores SI/SO when high; initiates instruction decoding on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all data transfers; supports SPI Modes 0 and 3; max 33 MHz frequency |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-codes, addresses, and program data; MSB-first, sampled on SCK rising edge (Mode 0) |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; high-impedance when CS high or during internal write cycles |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lockout for status register writes when WPEN = 1 and WP = low; prevents accidental configuration changes |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7?
The AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V DC. This low-voltage range allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and reduces power consumption in battery-powered or energy-constrained systems. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or damage, and absolute maximum rating is 4.2 V.
Does the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 support SPI Mode 3 in addition to Mode 0?
Yes, the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 explicitly supports both SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and Mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1). The datasheet details Mode 0 operation, but electrical specifications and timing diagrams confirm compatibility with Mode 3 clock polarity and phase configurations - essential for interoperability with diverse host controllers.
How does hardware write protection work on the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7?
Hardware write protection on the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 is controlled by the WP pin and WPEN bit in the status register. When WPEN = 1 and WP is driven low, all writes to the status register - including block protection bits and WPEN itself - are inhibited. If WPEN = 0, the WP pin has no effect, allowing full status register configuration regardless of WP voltage.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7?
The AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 supports a maximum SCK clock frequency of 33 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This enables high-throughput read operations and efficient page programming, with timing parameters such as tWH and tWL specified down to 9 ns to ensure reliable sampling at full speed.
Can the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 be used in industrial temperature environments?
Yes, the AT25F4096W-10SU-2.7 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C.
