Product details
Overview
M24128-DFMC6TG from STMicroelectronics is a 128-Kbit I²C-compatible EEPROM organized as 16 K × 8 bits, featuring 64-byte page write, hardware write protection via WC pin, and an additional 64-byte identification page permanently lockable in read-only mode. It operates across 1.7 V–5.5 V at -40 °C to +85 °C and supports I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz), used for secure parameter storage in industrial sensor nodes and embedded control modules.
For engineers reviewing the M24128-DFMC6TG datasheet, M24128-DFMC6TG pinout, M24128-DFMC6TG application, or M24128-DFMC6TG equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.7 V minimum supply voltage, 5 ms max write cycle time, identification page locking capability, and compatibility with SO8N/TSSOP8/UFDFPN8/WLCSP8 packages - all critical for low-voltage, tamper-resistant firmware configuration storage.
Technical Context
This EEPROM implements a dedicated I²C target interface with full support for Standard-mode (100 kHz), Fast-mode (400 kHz), and Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz) clock rates. Its internal architecture includes a page latch, ECC logic (on process-A/K variants), and a POR circuit that prevents spurious writes during power-up.
The device uses three chip-enable inputs (E2, E1, E0) to configure its 7-bit I²C address (1010xxxR/W), and a dedicated WC pin to globally inhibit all write operations when driven high - a hardware-level protection mechanism independent of software state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 Kbit (16 K × 8), enabling storage of calibration data, device IDs, or small firmware patches in space-constrained designs. |
| Page size | 64-byte pages, allowing efficient bulk writes without exceeding internal latch capacity or triggering roll-over within a single page boundary. |
| Write cycle time | ≤5 ms for byte and page writes, defining minimum inter-write delay and enabling deterministic timing in real-time configuration updates. |
| Supply voltage range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V (–40 °C to +85 °C), supporting direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Endurance | >4 million write cycles per memory location, ensuring long-term reliability in field-updatable systems with frequent parameter changes. |
| Data retention | >200 years at +25 °C, guaranteeing nonvolatile storage integrity over product lifetime without refresh. |
| I²C speed modes | Supports 100 kHz, 400 kHz, and 1 MHz - enabling high-throughput configuration loading in production programming or fast runtime reads in responsive control loops. |
Pinout & Package
Package: UFDFPN8 (2 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, ECOPACK2-compliant). This 8-pin DFN exposes all functional terminals including chip-enable inputs and write control, suitable for automated optical inspection and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be decoupled near package with 10–100 nF capacitor to suppress noise-induced glitches. |
| WC | Write control input | Hardware-level write inhibit: drives internal write logic inactive when high; floating or low enables writes - no software dependency. |
| E1, E0 | Chip enable address inputs | Set bits b2–b1 of 7-bit I²C address (1010E2E1E0R/W); tied to VSS/VCC to select one of eight possible addresses on shared bus. |
| VCC | Power supply | Accepts 1.7–5.5 V; internal POR ensures no command execution until stable - eliminates need for external reset sequencing. |
| E2 | Chip enable address input | Set bit b3 of I²C address; combined with E1/E0, enables multi-device addressing without external address jumpers. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock up to 1 MHz; device samples SDA on rising edge and requires stable setup/hold timing per I²C spec. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; supports wired-AND bus topology with multiple targets. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification page with permanent lock | 64-byte dedicated area for storing immutable parameters (e.g., serial numbers, cryptographic keys); once locked, no further writes possible - prevents accidental or malicious overwrite. |
| Hardware write protection (WC pin) | Physical disable of all write operations independent of firmware state - essential for fail-safe operation during brown-out or MCU crash scenarios. |
| Enhanced ESD/latch-up immunity | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM ESD and robust latch-up immunity, reducing risk of field failure in handling or noisy industrial environments. |
| ECOPACK2-compliant packaging | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant UFDFPN8 package with optimized thermal resistance and solderability for lead-free reflow processes. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration | Medical Device Configuration |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C128C-SSHL-T | 128 Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1.7–5.5 V; no identification page; max 1 MHz clock; 1 million endurance cycles. | Lacks hardware-lockable ID page and ECC; lower endurance reduces suitability for high-frequency logging. | Select when ID page lock and >4M cycle endurance are not required - lower cost for basic parameter storage. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | 128 Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1.6–5.5 V; built-in write protect (WP) pin; no identification page; 1 million cycles. | Includes WP pin but no lockable ID page; lacks ECC and has lower endurance than M24128-DF. | Prefer for ultra-low-voltage (1.6 V) operation where ID page security is secondary to supply margin. |
Compared with AT24C128C-SSHL-T and BR24G128FJ-WE2, the M24128-DFMC6TG provides unique hardware-enforced ID page locking and ECC-enhanced reliability - making it optimal for safety-critical or long-life deployments where parameter immutability and bit-error resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on M24128-DFMC6TG?
The WC (Write Control) pin is a hardware-level write inhibit input. When driven high, it disables all write operations - including byte, page, and identification page writes - regardless of I²C command or software state. This provides fail-safe protection against unintended writes during power transients or MCU faults. The pin is active-low enabled, and may be left floating to default to write-enabled mode.
Does M24128-DFMC6TG support I²C clock stretching?
No, the M24128-DFMC6TG does not support I²C clock stretching. It is a pure I²C target with fixed internal timing; all operations complete within guaranteed tW (≤5 ms) or AC timing limits. The device relies on ACK polling (via repeated Start + device address) to detect write completion, rather than holding SCL low. This simplifies bus arbitration but requires host-side polling logic.
How is the identification page locked, and can it be unlocked?
The identification page is locked using a dedicated "Lock ID" instruction: send device address 1011xxxR/W with A10 = 1 and data byte = xxxx xx1x (bit 1 = 1). Once executed, the lock is permanent and irreversible - no command or voltage sequence can unlock it. This one-time hardware fuse ensures cryptographic keys or serial numbers remain immutable for the device's lifetime.
Which package variant corresponds to the 'MC6TG' suffix in M24128-DFMC6TG?
The 'MC6TG' suffix denotes the UFDFPN8 (2 mm × 3 mm) package with ECOPACK2 compliance, 0.5 mm pitch, and wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection. This is confirmed by STMicroelectronics' ordering information in DS6639 Rev 33: 'MC6' = UFDFPN8, 'T' = tape-and-reel, 'G' = RoHS-compliant finish. Pin 1 marking is located at the top-left corner adjacent to E0.
