Product details
Overview
M24512-DFMC6TG from STMicroelectronics is a 512-Kbit (64 Kbyte) I²C-compatible EEPROM organized as 64 K × 8 bits, operating from 1.7 V to 5.5 V with 1 MHz clock support, featuring 128-byte page write, identification page with permanent lock capability, and ECOPACK2®-compliant UFDFPN8 (2×3 mm) package for space-constrained industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the M24512-DFMC6TG datasheet, M24512-DFMC6TG pinout, M24512-DFMC6TG application, or M24512-DFMC6TG equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range (1.7–5.5 V), identification page lockability, WC-controlled full-array write protection, and compatibility with 100 kHz / 400 kHz / 1 MHz I²C bus modes in embedded systems requiring long-term data retention and high endurance.
Technical Context
The M24512-DFMC6TG implements a slave-only I²C interface with hardware-based chip enable (E0–E2) addressing and write control (WC) input that disables all write operations when high. It uses internal charge pump circuitry to support EEPROM programming across its full 1.7–5.5 V supply range without external high-voltage sources.
Memory organization includes standard 64 Kbyte array plus a dedicated 128-byte identification page - accessible via distinct device select code (1011b) - which supports one-time permanent locking into read-only mode using a specific lock instruction with A10 = 1 and data byte pattern xxxx xx1x.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 512 Kbit (64 Kbyte), organized as 64 K × 8 bits - enables storage of firmware parameters, calibration data, or device configuration in resource-limited microcontroller systems. |
| I²C speed modes | Supports 100 kHz, 400 kHz, and 1 MHz - allows integration into both legacy and high-speed I²C buses without clock stretching penalties. |
| Page size | 128 bytes - matches common MCU DMA burst lengths and reduces write transaction overhead versus byte-write-only devices. |
| Write time | ≤5 ms for byte or page write - ensures deterministic timing for real-time logging and avoids unpredictable delays during critical system events. |
| Data retention | 200+ years at +25 °C - guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity over full product lifecycle in unattended equipment. |
| Endurance | 4 million write cycles per memory location - supports frequent field-updatable parameter sets in industrial HMI or sensor nodes. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for deployment in automotive body electronics, industrial PLCs, and outdoor metering hardware. |
| Supply voltage | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 1.8 V logic domains and legacy 3.3 V/5 V systems without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
UFDFPN8 (2 × 3 mm) package with exposed thermal pad (ECOPACK2® compliant); 0.5 mm pitch; wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection (AOI).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E0, E1, E2 | Chip enable address inputs | Set lower 3 bits of 7-bit I²C slave address (1010xxxR/W or 1011xxxR/W); tied high/low to configure up to 8 devices on same bus. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up; shares bus with other I²C slaves and master; supports ACK/NACK handshake. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock signal; sampled on rising edge for data capture; controls timing of all read/write transactions. |
| WC | Write control input | Hardware write protect: drives high to disable all writes to main array and ID page; floating or low enables write access. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 1.7–5.5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (10–100 nF) required near pins to suppress switching noise during internal write cycles. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for VCC; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce during high-current charge pump operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification page with lock | 128-byte dedicated area writable and permanently lockable to prevent tampering of calibration constants or security keys. |
| Enhanced ECC | On-the-fly single-bit error correction per 4-byte group - improves reliability of stored data without software overhead or user intervention. |
| ECOPACK2® packaging | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant UFDFPN8 with wettable flanks - supports automated optical inspection and high-yield reflow assembly in volume production. |
| Wide VCC range | 1.7–5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-supply systems and extends battery life in portable designs. |
| High endurance & retention | 4M write cycles and 200-year data retention - validated under accelerated stress testing per JEDEC JESD22-A117, enabling decade-long deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar I²C EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C512B-SSHL-T (Microchip) | 512 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V, but lacks identification page and permanent lock feature; max I²C speed 1 MHz only at ≥2.5 V. | No hardware-secured parameter storage; unsuitable for applications requiring tamper-proof calibration or security keys. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for locked ID page and full-voltage 1 MHz operation. |
| BR24G512FJ-3GE2 (ROHM) | 512 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V, includes WP pin but no dedicated ID page; supports 1 MHz only above 2.2 V; no ECC. | Lacks error correction and permanent lock mechanism; requires external software-based protection for sensitive data. | Choose for basic parameter storage where ECC and hardware lock are not mandated by safety or compliance standards. |
Compared with AT24C512B-SSHL-T and BR24G512FJ-3GE2, the M24512-DFMC6TG uniquely delivers a lockable identification page with ECC and guaranteed 1 MHz operation down to 1.7 V - making it the only option for safety-critical, tamper-resistant, and ultra-low-voltage embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on M24512-DFMC6TG?
The WC (Write Control) pin is a hardware-level write protect input: when driven high, it disables all write operations to both the main memory array and the identification page. When low or floating, writes are enabled. This provides fail-safe protection against accidental overwrites during power transients or firmware bugs, independent of software state.
Does M24512-DFMC6TG support I²C clock stretching?
No, the M24512-DFMC6TG does not support clock stretching. It is a pure slave device with fixed internal timing; all write cycles complete within ≤5 ms, and the device responds to I²C START/STOP conditions and ACK/NACK protocol without holding SCL low. Bus masters must implement polling via repeated START + device address to detect write completion.
How is the identification page different from the main memory array?
The identification page is a separate 128-byte memory region accessible only via I²C device select code 1011b (vs. 1010b for main array). It supports dedicated write, read, and lock instructions. Once locked using the Lock ID command, it becomes permanently read-only - unlike the main array, which remains fully rewritable unless protected by WC.
Can M24512-DFMC6TG operate reliably at 1.7 V and 1 MHz simultaneously?
Yes, the M24512-DFMC6TG is fully specified for 1 MHz I²C operation across its entire 1.7 V to 5.5 V supply range, as confirmed in DS6520 Rev 31 Section 8 AC characteristics (tBUF, tLOW, tHIGH, etc.). This distinguishes it from competing 512 Kbit EEPROMs that require ≥2.2 V or ≥2.5 V for 1 MHz timing compliance.
