Product details
Overview
AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 from Atmel (now Microchip) is a 512 Kbit (65,536 × 8) serial SPI EEPROM optimized for low-voltage industrial applications. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports SPI Modes 0 and 3, delivers up to 2 MHz clock rate at 1.8V, features 128-byte page write, and includes hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register. It is used in embedded systems requiring nonvolatile parameter storage with robust data retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 datasheet, AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 pinout, AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 application, or AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, package mapping to 8-lead Leadless Array (8CN1), validated pin functions, endurance and retention metrics, and two confirmed alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 implements a synchronous 3-wire SPI slave interface (CS, SCK, SI/SO) with separate input/output pins and MSB-first data framing. It uses an 8-bit instruction register with op-codes for WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, and WRITE - all requiring CS falling edge initiation.
Internal architecture includes a nonvolatile status register with BP0/BP1 for 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array block protection and WPEN bit enabling/disabling hardware write protection via the WP pin. All programming cycles are self-timed with no erase step required, and the HOLD pin suspends ongoing serial transfers without resetting sequence state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 524,288 bits (65,536 × 8), sufficient for firmware configuration tables or calibration data in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct integration into 1.8V logic domains without level shifting, while maintaining compatibility with 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 2 MHz at 1.8V - defines maximum sustained read/write throughput under lowest-voltage operation, critical for battery-powered devices. |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 write cycles per memory location - ensures reliable field updates over product lifetime in programmable logic controllers or sensor nodes. |
| Data Retention | >40 years at +85°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored settings without refresh, suitable for infrastructure equipment with 15+ year service life. |
| Page Write Size | 128-byte page mode only - mandates aligned multi-byte writes; byte-level writes are not supported and will cause address rollover corruption. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade - qualified for deployment in automotive body control modules, industrial HMIs, and outdoor metering hardware. |
Pinout & Package
AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 is packaged in an 8-lead Leadless Array Package (LAP), also designated 8CN1: 8.00 mm × 5.00 mm × 1.04 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, bottom-terminal layout with marked Pin 1 corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be held low for entire SPI transaction; high impedance SO when CS is high. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; timing-critical for setup/hold compliance; device operates as SPI slave only. |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Receives op-code, address, and write data; ignored during HOLD or when CS is high. |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status bits; tri-states automatically when CS goes high or during HOLD. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) recommended within 5 mm of pin. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register and protected memory blocks when WPEN=1; tied high for full write access. |
| HOLD | Serial Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal address counter; requires SCK low before assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI Mode 0 & 3 Compatibility | Supports both idle-low clock with sample-on-rising-edge (Mode 0) and idle-high clock with sample-on-falling-edge (Mode 3), easing integration with diverse microcontrollers. |
| Block Write Protection | Configurable via status register to protect top 25%, top 50%, or entire memory array - prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot or calibration data. |
| Dual Write Protection | Combines hardware (WP pin) and software (WRSR + WREN) mechanisms, allowing layered security: e.g., factory-set protection enforced by grounded WP + WPEN=1. |
| 128-Byte Page Write | Enables efficient bulk writes with single CS pulse; reduces host CPU overhead versus byte-by-byte programming, but requires strict 128-byte alignment. |
| HOLD Functionality | Allows master to pause communication mid-transfer (e.g., to service higher-priority interrupt), then resume without re-sending address or op-code. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Medical Device Calibration Data |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing I/O mapping, PID tuning parameters, and alarm thresholds in programmable logic controllers deployed in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile configuration store accessed during power-up and runtime reconfiguration; SPI interface synchronized to controller's peripheral clock.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF512C-SSHL-T | Same density (512 Kbit), SPI interface, but NOR Flash architecture with sector erase; lacks HOLD pin and has slower write latency (25 ms typical). | Requires full-sector erase before rewrite; unsuitable for frequent small-parameter updates but better for firmware image storage. | Select only if application needs larger contiguous code/data blocks and can tolerate erase-cycle management overhead. |
| M95512-DRMN6TP/K | 512 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8V–5.5V, 20 MHz max clock, 16-pin SOIC or 8-pin TSSOP; includes additional SRAM buffer and enhanced WP logic. | Higher speed and dual-package availability simplify layout; SRAM buffer enables true byte-write emulation without page-alignment constraints. | Preferred for new designs needing faster throughput or flexible write patterns; pinout differs - requires PCB revision. |
Compared with AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8, AT25DF512C-SSHL-T trades write flexibility for flash-like density efficiency, while M95512-DRMN6TP/K offers superior write granularity and speed at the cost of package incompatibility - making it a drop-in replacement only in TSSOP layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 supports up to 2 MHz SCK frequency when operated at 1.8V supply voltage. This value is specified in Table 4 of the datasheet under "fSCK" with voltage range "1.8 – 5.5V". Higher frequencies require ≥2.7V operation (5 MHz) or ≥4.5V (10 MHz), and all AC timing parameters scale accordingly.
Does AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 support byte-level writes, or is page write mandatory?
AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 supports only 128-byte page write operations - byte-level writes are not functional. As stated in the datasheet: "128-byte Page Write operation only. Content of the page in the array will not be guaranteed if less than 128 bytes of data is received." Attempting partial-page writes results in address rollover and data corruption.
How is write protection implemented on AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8?
AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 implements dual-layer write protection: hardware via the WP pin (when WPEN=1 in status register), and software via BP0/BP1 bits that lock top 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory. The WP pin inhibits all status register writes when low; block protection restricts writes to unprotected address ranges regardless of WP state.
What package type does AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 uses the 8CN1 Leadless Array Package (LAP): 8.00 mm × 5.00 mm × 1.04 mm body size, 1.27 mm pitch, bottom-mounted terminals. Pin 1 is marked by a corner chamfer; solder paste stencil aperture should match metal pad dimensions (0.36–0.46 mm width) per datasheet drawing.
Is AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 suitable for automotive applications?
No - AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not qualified to AEC-Q100. The datasheet explicitly states: "Atmel's products are not intended, authorized, or warranted for use as components in applications intended to support or sustain life." Automotive use requires AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives like the M95M02-DR series.
