Product details
Overview
M24C02-DRDW3TP/K from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive serial EEPROM with 2 Kbits (256 bytes) of I²C-compatible memory, 1 MHz max clock rate, and operation from -40 °C to 125 °C at 1.7–5.5 V. It features a 16-byte page size, embedded ECC for single-bit error correction, and a dedicated 16-byte identification page with permanent lock capability - used in engine control units for calibration storage.
For engineers reviewing the M24C02-DRDW3TP/K datasheet, M24C02-DRDW3TP/K pinout, M24C02-DRDW3TP/K application, or M24C02-DRDW3TP/K equivalent, key selection criteria include write endurance at 125 °C (600 k cycles), identification page locking behavior, WC pin-controlled write protection, and TSSOP8 package compatibility with automotive PCB thermal cycling requirements.
Technical Context
The M24C02-DRDW3TP/K implements a true EEPROM array organized as 16 pages × 16 bytes with built-in ECC logic per byte, enabling automatic single-bit error detection and correction during read operations. Its I²C interface supports standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), and fast-plus (1 MHz) modes, with Schmitt-triggered SDA/SCL inputs for robust noise immunity in automotive environments.
Chip enable (E2/E1/E0) pins allow up to eight devices on one bus via 3-bit hardware address coding; write control (WC) disables all writes when high, while the identification page supports device ID readout (ST code 20h/E0h/08h) and application parameter storage with irreversible lock functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 2 Kbits (256 × 8 bits), organized as 16 pages of 16 bytes - enables efficient firmware patch storage with page-aligned updates. |
| I²C clock max | 1 MHz - supports high-speed configuration loading in real-time automotive subsystems without bus contention delays. |
| Operating temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood ECUs and transmission control modules per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| Write endurance | 600 k cycles at 125 °C - ensures reliable recalibration logging over full vehicle lifetime in high-temp environments. |
| Data retention | 50 years at 125 °C - guarantees integrity of safety-critical calibration data without periodic refresh. |
| Supply voltage | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifting. |
| ECC support | Single-bit error correction per byte - eliminates need for external CRC checks in safety-relevant parameter storage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: RoHS-compliant, halogen-free TSSOP8 (DW), 169 mil width, 0.65 mm pitch - optimized for automated optical inspection and thermal reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL. |
| WC | Write control input | Active-high lock: disables all memory writes when driven high; floating or low enables write access. |
| E1, E0 | Chip enable address bits | Set 3-bit hardware address (with E2) to select among up to 8 devices on same I²C bus; tied to VSS/VCC per design. |
| VCC | Power supply | 1.7–5.5 V operation; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor near pin for stable write-cycle timing. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | CMOS/Schmitt-triggered; controls data sampling edge (rising) and ACK timing; open-drain compatible. |
| SDA | Serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor; supports wired-AND with other I²C slaves. |
| E2 | Chip enable address bit | Third bit of 3-bit hardware address; determines unique device select code (1010b + E2E1E0) on I²C bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dedicated identification page | 16-byte read-only page pre-programmed with ST manufacturer code (20h/E0h/08h); usable for secure device authentication or locked calibration constants. |
| Permanent lock mechanism | Irreversible lock command (1011b + A7=1) disables all future writes to identification page - prevents tampering with safety-critical parameters. |
| Fast write timing | 4 ms max byte/page write time - enables rapid parameter updates during vehicle startup or diagnostic mode without blocking main CPU. |
| ESD robustness | 4000 V HBM - withstands handling and assembly stresses in automotive manufacturing without additional protection circuitry. |
| Power-on reset | Internal POR circuit holds device inactive until VCC exceeds VRES threshold - prevents spurious writes during power ramp-up. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02C-SSHM-T | 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40 °C to 105 °C), no identification page or ECC. | Limited to cabin electronics; lacks 125 °C rating and lockable ID page required for powertrain use. | Select only for non-critical interior modules where extended temperature and tamper resistance are not mandated. |
| BR24G02-3MNUX | 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 1.7–5.5 V, but no identification page or ECC; uses DFN package. | Missing ECC and ID page lock - unsuitable for ASIL-B systems requiring fault-tolerant parameter storage. | Prefer where board space is constrained (DFN2030) and ECC/ID security are secondary to footprint reduction. |
Compared with AT24C02C-SSHM-T and BR24G02-3MNUX, the M24C02-DRDW3TP/K uniquely combines 125 °C operation, per-byte ECC, and a permanently lockable identification page - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B powertrain calibration storage where data integrity and anti-tampering are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on the M24C02-DRDW3TP/K?
The WC (Write Control) pin is an active-high input that disables all write operations to the memory array when driven high. When low or floating, writes are enabled. During WC = high, device select and address bytes are acknowledged, but data bytes receive NoACK - preventing accidental overwrites during system runtime or power transitions.
How does the identification page differ from the main memory array?
The identification page is a separate 16-byte region accessible via device type identifier 1011b (vs. 1010b for main memory). It contains ST's pre-programmed device ID (bytes 0–2) and four user-programmable bytes, and can be permanently locked in read-only mode using a dedicated lock instruction - unlike the main array, which remains fully writable unless protected by WC.
Can the M24C02-DRDW3TP/K operate reliably at 1.7 V supply?
Yes - the device is fully specified from 1.7 V to 5.5 V, including all AC parameters (1 MHz clock, 4 ms write time) and DC characteristics (logic thresholds, leakage). At 1.7 V, it maintains full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification down to -40 °C, enabling use in low-voltage automotive subsystems such as battery management or passive entry systems.
Is ECC applied to the identification page as well as main memory?
No - ECC logic is implemented only on the main 256-byte memory array (16 pages × 16 bytes). The identification page has no embedded error correction; its integrity relies on the permanent lock feature and factory programming. ST's datasheet explicitly states "ECC x 1" applies to the memory array, with no mention of ECC coverage for the ID page.
