Product details
Overview
AT93C57-10PI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2K-bit 3-wire serial EEPROM with user-selectable 256 × 8 or 128 × 16 organization, low-voltage operation (2.7V–5.5V), 10 ms max self-timed write cycle, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded controllers, power management units, and sensor calibration modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C57-10PI-2.7 datasheet, AT93C57-10PI-2.7 pinout, AT93C57-10PI-2.7 application, or AT93C57-10PI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC operating range compatibility, ORG-pin configurable memory width, 3-wire interface timing at 1 MHz (2.7V), standby current ≤10 µA, and industrial-grade reliability for long-life deployments.
Technical Context
The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 implements a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS, SK, DI/DO) with instruction-based command set including READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, and EWDS. Memory organization is dynamically selected via the ORG pin: tied to VCC enables 128-word × 16-bit mode; grounded enables 256-word × 8-bit mode.
It features a self-timed write cycle (tWP ≤10 ms at 4.5–5.5V; ≤10 ms at 2.7–5.5V), READY/BUSY status reporting via DO pin during programming, and no pre-erase requirement. Endurance is rated at 1 million write cycles and data retention at 100 years under industrial conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2048 bits (256 × 8 or 128 × 16 words) |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports mixed-voltage systems without level shifters |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤10 ms - enables deterministic firmware update timing in real-time systems |
| Standby Current | ≤10.0 µA at 2.7V - critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications |
| Clock Frequency | 1.0 MHz max at 2.7V - ensures reliable timing margin in noise-prone industrial environments |
| Data Retention | 100 years - guarantees configuration integrity over full product lifecycle |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - sufficient for frequent recalibration or logging use cases |
Pinout & Package
AT93C57-10PI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP package (package code 8P3), with 0.300" body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; orientation follows JEDEC MS-001 BA standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable: device responds only when CS = low; high state places DO in high-impedance |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge latches DI, falling edge samples DO |
| DI | Data Input | Receives instruction opcodes, addresses, and write data; must meet tDIS/tDIH setup/hold timing |
| DO | Data Output | Drives read data or READY/BUSY status; high-impedance when CS = high or during write |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5V); powers internal logic and charge pump for write operations |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection |
| ORG | Organization Select | Configures memory width: VCC = 128×16, GND = 256×8; unconnected defaults to x16 via internal pull-up |
| DC | Don't Connect | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-selectable memory organization | Hardware-configurable 256×8 or 128×16 layout via ORG pin - eliminates software rework across variants |
| Self-timed write cycle | No external timing control needed; DO reports READY/BUSY - simplifies host firmware design |
| Industrial temperature grade | −40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for automotive body electronics and industrial PLCs |
| Low standby current | ≤10 µA at 2.7V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools and remote sensors |
| ESD protection | >4000V HBM - enhances robustness during board handling and field deployment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95256-WMN6TP | 4-wire SPI interface; 2.5V–5.5V supply; 5ms write time; SO8 package only | Requires SPI master with CPOL=0, CPHA=0; no ORG pin - fixed 32K×8 organization | Select when migrating to SPI-standard interface and higher density is acceptable |
| STK12C68-5BI | NVSRAM with 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5V); automatic store-on-power-loss; 100 ns access | Provides SRAM-like read speed and instant nonvolatility; no write timing delays | Select when deterministic sub-microsecond reads and zero-write-latency persistence are required |
Compared with M95256-WMN6TP and STK12C68-5BI, the AT93C57-10PI-2.7 offers unique ORG-pin configurability, lower 2.7V operation, and proven 100-year retention - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-power industrial designs where memory width flexibility matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT93C57-10PI-2.7 at 2.7V?
The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 1.0 MHz when operated at VCC = 2.7V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table for the 2.7V–5.5V voltage range. This timing margin ensures reliable communication in electrically noisy industrial environments while maintaining compatibility with legacy 8-bit microcontrollers running at modest clock speeds. The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 meets all tSKH, tSKL, and tCS timing requirements at this rate.
How does the ORG pin affect memory organization in AT93C57-10PI-2.7?
In the AT93C57-10PI-2.7, the ORG pin selects between two memory configurations: when tied to VCC, the device operates as 128 words × 16 bits; when grounded, it operates as 256 words × 8 bits. An unconnected ORG pin defaults to x16 mode via an internal ~1 MΩ pull-up. This hardware-selectable organization allows one PCB layout to support either byte- or word-oriented firmware without changing the AT93C57-10PI-2.7 part number.
Does AT93C57-10PI-2.7 require a separate erase cycle before writing?
No, the AT93C57-10PI-2.7 does not require a separate erase cycle before writing. Each WRITE instruction automatically erases the target location prior to programming, and the entire write cycle (including erase and program phases) is self-timed and completes within 10 ms maximum. The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 enters the ERASE/WRITE ENABLE state only after an EWEN instruction, ensuring data integrity against accidental writes.
What is the standby current specification for AT93C57-10PI-2.7 at 2.7V?
The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 draws ≤10.0 µA of standby current (ISB3) when VCC = 2.7V and CS = 0V, as confirmed in the DC Characteristics table. This ultra-low quiescent draw enables use in always-on, battery-powered applications such as wireless sensor nodes and portable test equipment where multi-year operation on primary cells is required. The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 achieves this while retaining full functionality across its industrial temperature range.
Is AT93C57-10PI-2.7 pin-compatible with other members of the AT93C46/56/57/66 family?
Yes, the AT93C57-10PI-2.7 shares identical pinout and package dimensions with AT93C46, AT93C56, and AT93C66 in the same package variant (e.g., 8P3 PDIP), enabling drop-in replacement for density upgrades. However, instruction addressing differs: AT93C57 uses 8-bit addresses (A7–A0) for x8 mode versus AT93C46's 7-bit (A6–A0), so firmware must be verified for address width compatibility. The AT93C57-10PI-2.7 retains full electrical and timing interoperability within the family.
