Product details
Overview
AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2K-bit, 3-wire serial EEPROM with user-selectable 256 × 8 or 128 × 16 organization, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V supply, featuring 10 ms max self-timed write cycle and 1 million write endurance. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in low-power industrial sensors and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 datasheet, AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 pinout, AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 application, or AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 pin mapping, low-voltage timing constraints, and validated alternatives for industrial-grade embedded design.
Technical Context
The AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 implements a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with ORG pin-controlled memory organization and no external erase cycle required. Its instruction set includes READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL, and WRAL - all initiated by rising-edge CS and validated for 1.8V operation.
At VCC = 1.8V, it supports 250 kHz max clock frequency (fSK), 1000 ns minimum SK high/low time, and 0.1 µA standby current (ISB1). The DO pin provides READY/BUSY status during write cycles when CS is asserted post-instruction, enabling host synchronization without polling overhead.

Pinout & Package
AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide, with standard pinout (non-rotated). Pin 1 is CS, pin 2 is SK, pin 3 is DI, pin 4 is DO, pin 5 is VCC, pin 6 is DC (no connect), pin 7 is ORG, and pin 8 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; initiates READY/BUSY status readout |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronizes data transfer; rising edge samples DI, falling edge outputs DO; tSKH/tSKL ≥1000 ns at 1.8V |
| DI | Data Input | Receives start bit, op code, address, and data; setup/hold times ≥400 ns relative to SK at 1.8V |
| DO | Data Output | Serial output for READ; tri-state during idle; indicates READY ('1') or BUSY ('0') during write |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; powers internal logic and charge pump; decoupling capacitor required |
| ORG | Organization Select | High = 128 × 16 mode; low = 256 × 8 mode; unconnected defaults to x16 (not supported on 1.8V variants) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and I/O; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| DC | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain floating; not bonded or connected in die |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95M02-DRMN6TP/K | 2 Mbit SPI interface, 1.8V–5.5V, 5ms write cycle, 400 kHz min clock at 1.8V | Requires SPI peripheral instead of generic GPIO bit-banging; higher density but larger footprint | Choose for systems already using SPI peripherals and requiring >2 Kbit capacity |
| BR24G02FJ-WE2 | 2 Kbit I²C interface, 1.7V–5.5V, 5ms write cycle, supports 1 MHz I²C at 1.8V | Uses two-wire bus with address pins; requires I²C master; lacks ORG pin flexibility | Prefer when board uses I²C infrastructure and needs lower pin count than 3-wire |
Compared with AT93C57W-10SI-1.8, M95M02-DRMN6TP/K offers higher density and faster writes but demands SPI hardware; BR24G02FJ-WE2 reduces pin count via I²C yet forfeits organization selection and READY/BUSY signaling - making AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 optimal for GPIO-constrained, low-power, and flexible-configuration designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 250 kHz at VCC = 1.8V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table (fSK min = 0.25 MHz). This is enforced by minimum tSKH and tSKL timing requirements of 1000 ns each, ensuring reliable data sampling and output stability under low-voltage conditions.
Does AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 support both x8 and x16 memory organization at 1.8V operation?
No - the ORG pin functionality for selecting between 256 × 8 and 128 × 16 organization is explicitly disabled on 1.8V versions of the AT93C57, including AT93C57W-10SI-1.8. Per the datasheet note on page 2, "This feature is not available on 1.8V devices." The device operates in fixed 256 × 8 mode at 1.8V.
Can AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and carries no AEC-Q100 qualification. While it meets extended temperature and reliability specs (1M endurance, 100-year retention), automotive-grade use requires the explicitly qualified AT93C57-10XU variant (e.g., AT93C57-10XU-1.8) with full AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification.
What is the purpose of the DC pin on AT93C57W-10SI-1.8?
The DC (Don't Connect) pin on AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 is an unconnected terminal - not bonded to the die and electrically inactive. It must remain floating with no PCB trace or solder connection. This pin exists due to package pinout compatibility across the AT93C46/56/57/66 family and has zero functional impact on AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 operation.
How does the READY/BUSY status reporting work on AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 during a write cycle?
During a write cycle, if CS is driven high after the instruction completes (and held low for ≥250 ns), the DO pin outputs READY (logic '1') when programming finishes or BUSY (logic '0') while still active. This allows the host to poll status without fixed delays. AT93C57W-10SI-1.8 supports this feature fully at 1.8V, with tSV ≤1000 ns per AC specs.
