Product details
Overview
M24C01-WMN6P 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 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, -40 °C to +85 °C operation, hardware write protection via WC pin, and 16-byte page write capability - deployed in industrial control panels for parameter storage and calibration data retention.
For engineers reviewing the M24C01-WMN6P datasheet, M24C01-WMN6P pinout, M24C01-WMN6P application, or M24C01-WMN6P equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C address configuration (E0–E2), WC-controlled full-array write lock, SO8N ECOPACK2 package compatibility, and guaranteed 4 million write cycles with 200-year data retention at 55 °C.
Technical Context
The M24C01-WMN6P implements a synchronous I²C slave interface with start/stop detection, ACK/NACK handshaking, and internal address counter auto-increment during sequential reads. Its block diagram includes HV generator + sequencer for EEPROM programming, page latches for 16-byte burst writes, and SDA open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up.
Device addressing uses a fixed 7-bit code (1010xxx) where E0–E2 pins set the three LSBs; in the SO8N package (MN), all three are bonded and accessible. Write control (WC) disables all write operations when high, independent of clock or address - a hardware-level safeguard against corruption during power transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 1-Kbit (128 × 8 bits) - sufficient for firmware revision flags, sensor calibration coefficients, or small configuration tables. |
| I²C clock frequency | Up to 400 kHz (Fast mode) - enables ~1.6 ms max byte write time and supports real-time parameter updates in responsive systems. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting in mixed-voltage designs. |
| Write endurance | 4 million write cycles at 25 °C - supports daily reconfiguration over 10+ years in field-deployed equipment. |
| Data retention | 200 years at 55 °C - ensures long-term reliability for unattended infrastructure devices like smart meters or remote sensors. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - validated for use in automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O expansion cards. |
| Page size | 16 bytes - optimizes firmware patching efficiency while minimizing bus occupancy during bulk writes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8N (ECOPACK2), 150 mil width, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and VCC decoupling; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| WC | Hardware write control | Active-high signal that globally disables all write operations - tied high for permanent protection or controlled by MCU GPIO for selective locking. |
| E1 | Chip enable bit 1 | Configures 2nd LSB of 7-bit I²C address (1010xxx); must be hard-wired to VCC or VSS - floating defaults to logic 0. |
| E0 | Chip enable bit 0 | Configures LSB of I²C address; determines unique bus address among up to eight M24C01-W devices sharing one I²C segment. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 2.5–5.5 V DC input; requires local 10–100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| E2 | Chip enable bit 2 | Configures 3rd LSB of I²C address; enables multi-device topology without software address remapping. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock (≤400 kHz); rise/fall time ≤50 ns; defines timing for SDA sampling on rising edge. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (value calculated per Figure 11 in DS9398); supports wired-AND bus sharing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware write protection (WC pin) | Prevents accidental writes during power-up/down or firmware glitches - no software dependency required for critical memory safety. |
| 16-byte page write capability | Reduces I²C transaction overhead by 87% vs. single-byte writes for contiguous data blocks like calibration arrays. |
| Enhanced ESD/latch-up protection | Withstands ±3000 V HBM ESD pulses - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial PCBs. |
| Random and sequential read modes | Enables efficient firmware boot loading (sequential) and dynamic parameter lookup (random) without address retransmission. |
| Power-on reset (POR) circuit | Blocks instruction execution until VCC stabilizes above threshold - prevents spurious writes during brown-out conditions. |

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 supply, 400 kHz I²C, same SO8 package but no WC pin. | Lacks hardware write protection - requires software-based lock mechanisms or external logic for equivalent security. | Select when WC functionality is unnecessary and lower minimum voltage (1.7 V) is prioritized over write-lock assurance. |
| BR24G01FJ-WE2 (ROHM) | 1-Kbit, 1.6–5.5 V, 400 kHz I²C, SO8N, includes WC pin and identical E0–E2 addressing. | Same functional footprint and protection scheme; differs in AC timing specs (tBUF, tHD:STA) and ESD rating (±2000 V HBM). | Choose for drop-in replacement where tighter timing margins or higher ESD immunity are not design-critical. |
Compared with AT24C01D-SSHM-T and BR24G01FJ-WE2, the M24C01-WMN6P provides guaranteed 4 million write cycles at 25 °C and integrated POR - making it preferable for mission-critical industrial and automotive applications where write reliability and power-up safety are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on M24C01-WMN6P?
The WC (Write Control) pin is an active-high hardware lock that disables all write operations to the entire memory array when driven high. When WC is low or floating, writes are enabled. This feature prevents accidental overwrites during power transitions or firmware errors - no software intervention is required for protection.
Can M24C01-WMN6P operate at 1.8 V?
No. The M24C01-WMN6P variant is rated for 2.5 V to 5.5 V operation only. For 1.8 V compatibility, ST offers the M24C01-R series (e.g., M24C01-RMN6TP), which shares identical pinout and functionality but extends the lower supply limit to 1.8 V while maintaining the same -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.
How many unique I²C addresses can be configured using E0–E2 pins?
The E0, E1, and E2 pins configure the three least significant bits of the 7-bit I²C device address (1010xxx), enabling up to eight unique addresses (000 to 111 binary) on the same bus. All three pins must be hard-wired to VCC or VSS; floating pins default to logic 0, limiting address flexibility if left unconnected.
Is the SO8N package of M24C01-WMN6P lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The SO8N package is ECOPACK2 certified - fully RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU) and halogen-free, with lead-free matte tin terminations. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles and supports both Sn-Pb and Pb-free soldering processes without derating.
