Product details
Overview
AT93C57W-10SC-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), self-timed 10 ms max write cycle, and 1 million write endurance. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring compact, reliable, and voltage-flexible memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 datasheet, AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 pinout, AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 application, or AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility, ORG-pin configurable word width, 3-wire interface timing at 1 MHz (2.7V), standby current ≤10 µA, and JEDEC SOIC-8 package suitability for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The AT93C57W-10SC-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. Its internal logic decodes 7-bit addresses (A7–A0) for x8 mode or 6-bit addresses (A6–A0) for x16 mode based on ORG pin state.
Write operations require prior EWEN enable and are self-timed with READY/BUSY status reported via DO when CS is raised post-command; no external erase cycle is needed. The device supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and features ESD protection >4000V HBM.
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 - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 1 MHz at 2.7V - defines maximum serial data throughput in low-voltage systems |
| Write Cycle Time | 10 ms max - determines minimum time between successive write commands |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - supports long-term field calibration or parameter logging |
| Data Retention | 100 years - ensures firmware or configuration integrity across product lifecycle |
| Standby Current | ≤10 µA at 2.7V - critical for battery-powered devices during sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 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/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; raising it mid-cycle returns READY/BUSY status on DO |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge samples DI, falling edge outputs DO |
| DI | Data Input | Receives start bit, opcode, address, and write data; high-impedance when not selected |
| DO | Data Output | Drives read data or READY/BUSY status; high-impedance when CS is high or during write execution |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail; must remain stable within 2.7V–5.5V during all operations |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| ORG | Organization Select | Logic-high selects 128 × 16 mode; grounded selects 256 × 8 mode; unconnected defaults to x16 via internal pull-up |
| DC | No Connect | Internally unused pin; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice - no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-selectable memory organization | Configurable 256 × 8 or 128 × 16 layout via ORG pin - eliminates need for software bit-packing in host MCU |
| Self-timed write cycle | Hardware-managed 10 ms max programming - removes requirement for host to monitor timing or insert delays |
| 3-wire serial interface | Minimal pin count (CS/SK/DI/DO) - reduces MCU GPIO usage and simplifies routing on dense PCBs |
| Low-voltage operation | 2.7V–5.5V supply range - supports direct integration into mixed-voltage systems without regulators or translators |
| Industrial temperature grade | −40°C to +85°C operating range - qualified for automotive body electronics and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25020B-SSHL-T | 2 Kbit SPI interface (4-wire), 1.8V–5.5V, 20 MHz clock, 5 ms write cycle | Requires dedicated SPI peripheral; faster throughput but higher pin count | Select when host MCU has dedicated SPI hardware and needs >1 MHz data rate |
| STK12C68-55I-WH6F | 8 Kbit NVSRAM, parallel interface, 4.5V–5.5V, 55 ns access, unlimited writes | Byte-level random access, no write delay, but larger footprint and higher VCC min | Select when frequent byte-level updates and zero-write-latency are required over density or voltage flexibility |
Compared with AT25020B-SSHL-T and STK12C68-55I-WH6F, the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 offers optimal balance of ultra-low standby current, 3-wire simplicity, and dual-voltage support - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and battery-aware designs where 1 MHz serial throughput suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 at 2.7V?
The AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 1 MHz when operated at 2.7V. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSK for the 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V condition. At 5.0V, the device supports up to 2 MHz. The 1 MHz limit at 2.7V ensures robust timing margin for reliable serial communication in low-voltage embedded systems using the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7.
How does the ORG pin affect memory organization in AT93C57W-10SC-2.7?
The ORG pin on the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 selects between two internal memory configurations: when tied to VCC, it enables 128 × 16-bit organization; when grounded, it selects 256 × 8-bit organization. If left unconnected, an internal ~1 MΩ pull-up defaults to x16 mode. This hardware-selectable layout allows the same AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 device to match varying host MCU data bus widths without firmware changes.
Does AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 require a separate erase cycle before writing?
No, the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 does not require a separate erase cycle before writing. Each WRITE instruction automatically erases and programs the target location in a single self-timed operation. The device only enters the ERASE/WRITE ENABLE state after an explicit EWEN command, and all programming (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, ERAL) is internally managed - eliminating host-side erase scheduling overhead for the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7.
What is the standby current specification for AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 at 2.7V?
The standby current (ISB3) for AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 is specified as 6.0 µA (typical) to 10.0 µA (maximum) at VCC = 2.7V and TA = −40°C to +85°C, with CS = 0V. This ultra-low quiescent draw makes the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 suitable for battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where minimizing sleep-mode power is critical.
Is AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 compatible with 5V microcontrollers?
Yes, the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7 is fully compatible with 5V microcontrollers: its VCC range spans 2.7V to 5.5V, and its input thresholds (VIH1, VIL1) are defined for 4.5V–5.5V operation - ensuring reliable logic-level recognition. Outputs (VOH1, VOL1) meet 5V TTL standards (≥2.4V high, ≤0.4V low at 2.1 mA), enabling direct connection to 5V MCU GPIOs without level translation when using the AT93C57W-10SC-2.7.
