Product details
Overview
AT93C57-10SC-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2-kbit serial EEPROM with 3-wire interface, supporting 1.8V to 5.5V operation, user-selectable 256 × 8 or 128 × 16 organization via ORG pin, and self-timed write cycles ≤10 ms. It delivers high reliability with 1 million write cycles and 100-year data retention, targeting low-power embedded systems requiring nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C57-10SC-1.8 datasheet, AT93C57-10SC-1.8 pinout, AT93C57-10SC-1.8 application, or AT93C57-10SC-1.8 equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in upgrade path for legacy 1.8V–5.5V serial EEPROM designs needing verified endurance, industrial temperature support, and JEDEC SOIC-8 compatibility without layout changes.
Technical Context
The AT93C57-10SC-1.8 implements a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS, SK, DI/DO) with instruction-based command set including READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, and EWDS. Its internal logic decodes 7-bit addresses (A7–A0) for x8 mode or 6-bit addresses (A6–A0) for x16 mode, with ORG pin selection determining word width.
Write operations require prior EWEN enable and are fully self-timed; DO pin provides READY/BUSY status during active programming. The device supports clock rates up to 250 kHz at 1.8V and includes on-chip ESD protection >4000V, ensuring robustness in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2048 bits (256 × 8 or 128 × 16 organization) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct integration into 1.8V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 250 kHz at 1.8V - sets minimum SK period to 4000 ns for timing-critical host controllers |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤10 ms - defines worst-case blocking time for firmware during nonvolatile parameter updates |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports frequent calibration or logging use cases over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | 100 years at 25°C - guarantees long-term storage of factory-trimmed coefficients or security keys |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in automotive body control or industrial sensors |
Pinout & Package
AT93C57-10SC-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-standard SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; orientation follows JEDEC MS-001 BA outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable: must be held low for entire instruction sequence; controls DO output impedance and READY/BUSY reporting |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronous edge-triggered input: rising edge latches DI, falling edge clocks DO; timing margins defined per VCC |
| DI | Data Input | Serial command/address/data input: accepts 7-bit address + op code + optional data under CS/SK control |
| DO | Data Output | Tri-state serial output: drives data during READ; reports READY ('1') or BUSY ('0') post-write when CS rises |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail: powers internal logic and memory array; bypass capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path: must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance trace |
| ORG | Organization Select | Logic-level input: tied to VCC for 128 × 16 mode, GND for 256 × 8 mode; unconnected defaults to x16 via internal pull-up |
| DC | No Connect | Internally unused terminal: must remain floating; no external connection permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8V–5.5V Wide-Voltage Operation | Eliminates need for external voltage translators in mixed-supply systems, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| User-Selectable Memory Organization | Enables flexible data packing: 256-byte buffers (x8) or 128-word parameter tables (x16) via single ORG pin tie-off |
| Self-Timed Write with Status Reporting | Removes requirement for fixed delay loops in firmware; DO pin provides real-time BUSY/READY feedback during writes |
| Industrial Temperature Range (−40°C to +85°C) | Validates operation across full ambient range of motor drives, PLC I/O modules, and outdoor IoT gateways |
| ESD Protection >4000V HBM | Reduces risk of field failure during handling or in electrostatic-prone manufacturing and service environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95128-WMN6TP | 128 kbit SPI interface, 2.5–5.5V only, no 1.8V support; faster 10 MHz clock; built-in write protection | Requires SPI peripheral instead of bit-banged 3-wire; unsuitable for 1.8V-only hosts | Select if migrating to SPI infrastructure and higher density is needed; verify host driver compatibility |
| BR24G02FJ-WE2 | I²C interface, 1.7–5.5V, 2 kbit, 400 kHz max speed; different addressing scheme and ACK/NACK protocol | Needs I²C master hardware; incompatible instruction set and timing model vs. AT93C57 | Prefer for new designs with existing I²C bus resources; not a drop-in replacement due to protocol mismatch |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and BR24G02FJ-WE2, the AT93C57-10SC-1.8 uniquely supports true 1.8V operation with 3-wire simplicity and JEDEC SOIC-8 footprint-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial controllers where minimal GPIO usage and ultra-low-voltage compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT93C57-10SC-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT93C57-10SC-1.8 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 250 kHz when operating at 1.8V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table. This corresponds to a minimum SK period of 4000 ns and defines the upper limit for reliable serial communication timing with host microcontrollers running at low voltage.
Can the ORG pin on AT93C57-10SC-1.8 be left unconnected?
No - the ORG pin on AT93C57-10SC-1.8 must be actively tied to either VCC or GND. Unlike higher-voltage variants, the 1.8V version does not include an internal pull-up resistor on ORG; leaving it floating results in undefined memory organization and unreliable operation.
Does AT93C57-10SC-1.8 support WRITE ALL and ERASE ALL commands?
No - the AT93C57-10SC-1.8 does not support WRITE ALL or ERASE ALL instructions. These commands are restricted to 4.5V–5.5V operation per the datasheet and are invalid at 1.8V. Only individual-address READ, WRITE, and ERASE are functional across the full 1.8V–5.5V range.
What is the standby current consumption of AT93C57-10SC-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT93C57-10SC-1.8 draws a maximum standby current (ISB1) of 0.1 µA at VCC = 1.8V and TA = 25°C, as characterized in the DC Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low quiescent draw enables use in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems requiring multi-year shelf life.
Is AT93C57-10SC-1.8 pin-compatible with AT93C56-10SC-1.8?
Yes - AT93C57-10SC-1.8 and AT93C56-10SC-1.8 share identical 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) packaging, pinout, and electrical interface. Both support 1.8V–5.5V operation and the same 3-wire protocol, differing only in memory size (2 kbit vs. 2 kbit - note: AT93C56 and AT93C57 are both 2 kbit, but with distinct address depth and instruction encoding).
