Product details
Overview
AT34C02D-MAHM-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a JEDEC EE1002/EE1002A-compliant Serial Presence Detect (SPD) EEPROM for DDR/DDR2/DDR3 DIMM modules, providing 2,048-bit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible nonvolatile memory with 1.7V–5.5V operation, permanent/reversible software write protection for lower 128 bytes, and hardware write protection via WP pin.
For engineers reviewing the AT34C02D-MAHM-T datasheet, AT34C02D-MAHM-T pinout, AT34C02D-MAHM-T application, or AT34C02D-MAHM-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SPD-specific timing compliance, dual-layer write protection behavior, UDFN-8 package details, and real-world DIMM module integration context - all grounded in the official Atmel-8781D datasheet.
Technical Context
The AT34C02D-MAHM-T implements an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface with 400 kHz max speed at 1.7V/2.5V and 1 MHz at 5.0V, supporting standard and fast-mode protocols. Its internal architecture includes a 16-page × 16-byte memory array, addressable via 8-bit word addresses, with Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA inputs for noise immunity in high-density memory subsystems.
Write protection is implemented through three independent mechanisms: hardware-level inhibition via WP pin (VCC = full-array lock), permanent software lock of addresses 0x00–0x7F (irreversible once set), and reversible software lock of the same region (enabled/disabled via dedicated command sequences using A2/A1/A0 and VHV voltage). All protections coexist and are evaluated hierarchically during write attempts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2,048 bits (256 × 8), organized as 16 pages × 16 bytes - enables byte/page writes without external address latching. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with DDR DIMM VDDQ rails (1.2V–1.5V via level-shifting) and legacy 3.3V/5V systems. |
| I²C Speed | 400 kHz @ 1.7V/2.5V; 1 MHz @ 5.0V - meets JEDEC SPD timing requirements for DDR2/DDR3 initialization handshakes. |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms - deterministic self-timed erase/write ensures predictable boot-time SPD data loading without polling overhead. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1,000,000 write cycles; 100-year data retention - qualified for lifetime use in unattended server and telecom memory modules. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade) - validated for sustained operation inside memory module PCBs under thermal stress. |
| Package | 8-pad 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm UDFN (8MA2), 0.6 mm body height - ultra-low-profile footprint ideal for space-constrained DIMM edge mounting. |
Pinout & Package
AT34C02D-MAHM-T uses the 8-pad 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm Ultra Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (UDFN) package (drawing 8MA2), with exposed thermal pad and laser-marked Pin 1 identifier on top surface. Pin 1 is located at bottom-left corner when notch or marking is oriented top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Hardware device address inputs | Hardwired to GND/VCC to select one of eight possible I²C addresses (1010xxxR/W); floating defaults to GND but requires explicit biasing per JEDEC SPD layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O; connects to thermal pad for improved heat dissipation in high-density DIMM layouts. |
| SDA | Serial Data bidirectional line | Open-drain I²C bus node requiring external pull-up; supports wire-OR with other SPD EEPROMs on same DIMM channel. |
| SCL | Serial Clock input | Positive-edge clock for data-in, negative-edge for data-out; Schmitt-triggered to reject noise from adjacent memory traces. |
| WP | Hardware write protect control | Pulled to VCC to disable all writes (full-array lock); pulled to GND or left floating to enable software-controlled protection modes. |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7V–5.5V; internal regulation enables stable EEPROM operation across DDR VDDQ voltage tolerances. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC EE1002/EE1002A SPD Compliance | Fully satisfies DDR/DDR2/DDR3 DIMM serial presence detect specification - guaranteed interoperability with memory controller SPD parsers. |
| Dual Software Write Protection | Separate permanent (one-time) and reversible (toggleable) locks for lower 128 bytes - enables secure storage of critical DIMM timing parameters while allowing field-updatable vendor data. |
| Hardware WP Pin Lock | Physical write inhibit independent of software state - prevents accidental or malicious overwrites during system boot or firmware updates. |
| 16-byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst programming of SPD data blocks (e.g., JEDEC parameter tables) in ≤5 ms, reducing DIMM initialization latency vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Low-Power Standby | 1.0 μA max standby current at 1.7V - minimizes parasitic drain on DIMM VDDQ rail during system sleep states. |
Applications
| DDR3 Server Memory Modules | DDR4 RDIMM SPD Storage |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPD EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C02-RMN6TP | 2-Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7V–5.5V, SO8 package only; no permanent software write protection; hardware WP pin present. | Lacks irreversible lower-half lock - unsuitable where JEDEC SPD mandates tamper-proof storage of base timing parameters. | Select when full-array hardware WP suffices and SOIC footprint is acceptable; verify SPD timing compliance per JEDEC spec. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C02HU4IGT3 | 2-Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7V–5.5V, UDFN-8 package; software write protection limited to entire array (no lower-half granularity); no permanent lock mode. | Supports only global software lock - cannot meet JEDEC EE1002A requirement for independent protection of SPD base vs. extended data regions. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial DIMMs where SPD data is static and full-array lock is sufficient; confirm AC timing matches DDR2/DDR3 startup windows. |
Compared with M24C02-RMN6TP and CAT24C02HU4IGT3, the AT34C02D-MAHM-T uniquely delivers JEDEC-mandated dual-layer (permanent + reversible) lower-half write protection in a space-saving UDFN package - essential for secure, standards-compliant SPD implementation in modern memory modules.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the AT34C02D-MAHM-T in memory modules?
The AT34C02D-MAHM-T serves as a JEDEC EE1002/EE1002A-compliant Serial Presence Detect (SPD) EEPROM, storing critical configuration data - including timing parameters, module capacity, manufacturer ID, and thermal calibration - for DDR/DDR2/DDR3 DIMMs. It is read by the memory controller during system boot to initialize DRAM correctly. Its 2-Kbit capacity, I²C interface, and industrial temperature rating make it purpose-built for this role in server, industrial, and automotive memory applications.
Does the AT34C02D-MAHM-T support both permanent and reversible write protection?
Yes, the AT34C02D-MAHM-T implements two distinct software write protection modes for the lower 128 bytes (addresses 0x00–0x7F): a permanent lock that, once enabled, cannot be reversed even after power cycling; and a reversible lock that can be toggled on/off using specific command sequences with controlled A2/A1/A0 and VHV voltage conditions. Both operate independently of the hardware WP pin, enabling layered security for SPD data integrity.
What package type does the AT34C02D-MAHM-T use, and why is it suitable for DIMMs?
The AT34C02D-MAHM-T uses an 8-pad 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm Ultra Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (UDFN) package (drawing 8MA2), with 0.6 mm body height and exposed thermal pad. This ultra-compact, low-profile package is ideal for edge-mounting on DDR DIMMs where board space is severely constrained - especially near gold-finger connectors - while maintaining thermal performance and mechanical robustness under vibration and thermal cycling.
How does the WP pin affect write operations on the AT34C02D-MAHM-T?
When the WP pin is connected to VCC, all write operations to the AT34C02D-MAHM-T memory array are inhibited - regardless of software write protection status. When WP is GND or floating, software-based protection (permanent or reversible) governs write access to the lower 128 bytes, while the upper 128 bytes remain freely writable. The WP pin thus provides a physical, hardware-enforced override that supersedes all software controls.
Is the AT34C02D-MAHM-T compatible with DDR4 memory modules?
The AT34C02D-MAHM-T is explicitly designed for JEDEC EE1002 and EE1002A compliance, which cover DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 DIMMs. While its electrical interface (I²C, 1.7V–5.5V, 400 kHz/1 MHz) is technically compatible with DDR4 SPD requirements, DDR4 uses the updated JEDEC JESD21-C specification and typically requires higher-density EEPROMs (e.g., 4-Kbit). Therefore, AT34C02D-MAHM-T is not recommended for new DDR4 designs unless validated per JESD21-C and confirmed by the memory controller vendor.
