Product details
Overview
M24C01-RMN6P from STMicroelectronics is a 1-Kbit (128-byte) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as 128 × 8 bits, operating as a slave device on standard and fast-mode I²C buses up to 400 kHz. It supports 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, features hardware write protection via WC pin, delivers ≤5 ms byte/page write time, and guarantees >4 million write cycles with >200-year data retention at 55 °C - deployed in industrial sensor calibration storage and embedded system configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the M24C01-RMN6P datasheet, M24C01-RMN6P pinout, M24C01-RMN6P application, or M24C01-RMN6P equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C address flexibility (E0–E2 pins), DFN5 package compatibility, 1.8 V low-voltage operation, and hardware-based full-array write protection - all critical for space-constrained, battery-backed, or safety-critical firmware parameter storage.
Technical Context
The M24C01-RMN6P implements a synchronous I²C slave interface with start/stop detection, ACK/NACK handshaking, and internal address counter auto-increment. Its block diagram integrates HV generator + sequencer for EEPROM programming, page latches for 16-byte page writes, and dedicated control logic for WC-driven write inhibition.
It supports three read modes - random, current-address, and sequential - with SDA as open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up. In the UFDFPN5 (MH) package, E0–E2 pins are unconnected, fixing device address bits b3–b1 to 000, limiting bus topology to avoid address conflict with other 1010xxxx devices.
Key Specifications

| Supply voltage range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic domains (e.g., ultra-low-power MCUs) and legacy 3.3 V/5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Write cycle endurance | 4,000,000 cycles at 25 °C - ensures reliable logging of infrequent but critical events (e.g., power-fail counters, firmware update flags) over 10+ years of field operation. |
| Data retention | 200 years at 55 °C - maintains factory calibration data across product lifetime without refresh, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A117. |
| Page size | 16 bytes - allows efficient bulk writes (e.g., sensor offset/gain tables) while minimizing bus occupancy and internal write latency. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial automation, automotive body electronics, and outdoor IoT edge nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: UFDFPN5 (MH), 1.7 mm × 1.4 mm, 5-pin DFN, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free (ECOPACK2). Pin 1 marked by top-side dot; no exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional bus line - requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ); shares bus with other I²C slaves. |
| 2: SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock signal - synchronizes all data transfers; rise/fall time ≤50 ns under 100 pF load. |
| 3: WC | Write Control Input | Active-high hardware lock - disables all write operations (byte/page) when driven high; floating or low enables writes. |
| 4: VCC | Supply Voltage | 1.8–5.5 V DC input - must be stable before I²C communication; decoupling capacitor (10–100 nF) required near pin. |
| 5: VSS | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all signals and VCC - must be low-impedance and routed adjacent to VCC for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware write protection | WC pin disables entire memory array writes - eliminates software bugs or transient glitches from corrupting critical calibration or security keys. |
| 16-byte page write capability | Reduces I²C transaction count by up to 16× vs. byte writes - cuts firmware execution time and bus contention in multi-parameter updates. |
| Three I²C read modes | Random, current-address, and sequential reads enable flexible access patterns - e.g., single register fetch (random), streaming logs (sequential), or state-machine stepping (current-address). |
| Enhanced ESD/latch-up immunity | ±3000 V HBM ESD rating and robust latch-up immunity - sustains operation in noisy industrial environments without external protection circuitry. |
| Power-on reset (POR) circuit | Prevents spurious writes during power ramp-up - ensures device enters standby mode until VCC exceeds internal threshold (~1.5 V), independent of MCU timing. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration Storage | Embedded System Configuration Memory |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing factory-trimmed temperature/humidity sensor offsets and gain coefficients in HVAC controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile parameter repository accessed once at power-up; I²C interface synchronized to MCU's low-speed peripheral clock.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C01D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | 1-Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V, 400 kHz, SOIC-8 only - no DFN5 option; lacks WC pin; uses WP pin for block protection. | Requires PCB redesign for SOIC-8 footprint; no hardware-level full-array lock - relies on software address masking for write safety. | Select if SOIC-8 is preferred and WC functionality is not required; verify WP pin routing matches AT24C01D's 1/4-array protection scheme. |
| BR24G01NUX-5TR (ROHM) | 1-Kbit, 1.6–5.5 V, 400 kHz, DFN5 (1.6 × 1.6 mm) - same pinout as M24C01-RMN6P; includes built-in write protect (WP) but no WC pin. | Pin-compatible DFN5 drop-in replacement; however, WP enables/disables write for entire array only when pulled high - identical functional scope to WC. | Choose for direct DFN5 substitution where 1.6 V min VCC is needed; confirm WP logic polarity matches existing WC control net (both active-high). |
Compared with AT24C01D-SSHM-T and BR24G01NUX-5TR, the M24C01-RMN6P uniquely combines DFN5 footprint, 1.8 V operation, and dedicated WC pin for unconditional full-array write disable - making it optimal for safety-critical, space-constrained, and ultra-low-power designs where write integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on M24C01-RMN6P?
The WC (Write Control) pin is an active-high hardware enable/disable for all write operations. When driven high, it prevents any byte or page write to the entire memory array - even if correct I²C address and data are sent. This provides fail-safe protection against accidental or malicious writes, independent of firmware state. WC can be left floating (default low) or tied to ground to enable writes.
Does M24C01-RMN6P support I²C clock stretching?
No, the M24C01-RMN6P does not implement clock stretching. It relies on fixed internal timing: after receiving a STOP condition following a write command, it initiates an internal write cycle (tW ≤ 5 ms) during which it ignores all I²C activity. Bus masters must poll the ACK bit or wait the maximum tW before issuing subsequent commands - no SCL hold is asserted by the device.
Can M24C01-RMN6P be used with a 1.6 V supply?
No - the M24C01-RMN6P is rated for 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation. While the M24C02-F variant supports 1.6 V under restricted temperature conditions (0 °C to 85 °C for write), the "R" suffix in M24C01-RMN6P specifies 1.8 V minimum across the full −40 °C to +85 °C range. Operating below 1.8 V risks data corruption, failed ACKs, or undefined behavior.
How is device addressing handled in the UFDFPN5 package?
In the UFDFPN5 (MH) package, E0–E2 pins are unconnected and internally fixed to logic 0. This sets the device select code to 1010000R/W (hex A0–A7), meaning only one M24C01-RMN6P can occupy the 1010xxxx address block on a given I²C bus. No external pull-up/down resistors are needed for E0–E2, simplifying layout but requiring careful bus address planning.
