Product details
Overview
M24C02-DRMN3TP/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 lockable identification page used for device ID storage and application parameter retention in vehicle control modules.
For engineers reviewing the M24C02-DRMN3TP/K datasheet, M24C02-DRMN3TP/K pinout, M24C02-DRMN3TP/K application, or M24C02-DRMN3TP/K equivalent, key selection criteria include write endurance at 125 °C (600 k cycles), identification page locking capability, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on SDA/SCL, and compatibility with I²C bus modes up to 1 MHz in safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The M24C02-DRMN3TP/K implements a true EEPROM array organized as 16 pages × 16 bytes, with ECC logic applied per byte to detect and correct single-bit errors during read operations. Its I²C slave interface supports standard, fast, and fast-plus modes (100 kHz/400 kHz/1 MHz), and uses a 7-bit device address with three chip-enable inputs (E2–E0) enabling up to eight devices on one bus.
It includes a dedicated 16-byte identification page accessible via device type identifier 1011b, supporting read, write, and permanent lock instructions. Write protection is controlled by the WC pin: high disables all writes (including to the ID page), while low enables byte/page writes with automatic address increment and rollover handling.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C02D-SSHM-T | 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to 105 °C), no embedded ECC, 100-year retention at 85 °C only. | Limited to cabin and infotainment modules; not rated for under-hood 125 °C operation or safety-critical calibration storage. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ECC requirement and ambient temperature stays ≤105 °C. |
| BR24G02-3MNUC-E2 | 2 Kbit I²C EEPROM, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 1.7–5.5 V, but only 100 k write cycles at 125 °C and no lockable ID page. | Suitable for non-calibration data logging (e.g., usage counters), but lacks secure ID page for traceability or firmware binding. | Choose where identification page locking and 600 k endurance at 125 °C are not required. |
Compared with AT24C02D-SSHM-T and BR24G02-3MNUC-E2, the M24C02-DRMN3TP/K uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, ECC-per-byte reliability, and a permanently lockable ID page - making it the only option qualified for calibration-critical powertrain and ADAS applications demanding 125 °C endurance and data integrity assurance.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on the M24C02-DRMN3TP/K?
The WC (Write Control) pin is an active-high hardware lock that disables all write operations-including byte, page, and identification page writes-when driven high. When low or floating, writes are enabled. This provides deterministic protection against unintended memory modification during power-up, brown-out, or system fault conditions, and is critical for automotive functional safety compliance.
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 instead of 1010b. It contains pre-programmed ST device ID bytes (00h–02h) and user-writable space (03h–0Fh), and supports a permanent lock instruction that makes the entire page read-only. Unlike main memory, once locked, no further writes-including erase-are possible, ensuring immutable calibration or security metadata.
Can the M24C02-DRMN3TP/K operate reliably at 1.7 V and 125 °C simultaneously?
Yes. The device is fully specified and tested for DC and AC operation across the full 1.7–5.5 V supply range at temperatures up to +125 °C, including write endurance (600 k cycles), data retention (50 years), and I²C timing compliance at 1 MHz. This simultaneous rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 test conditions and documented in DS10115 Rev 7.
What role does the embedded ECC play during read operations?
The ECC logic operates transparently on every byte read from the main memory array: it detects and corrects any single-bit error in real time before data is output on SDA. This eliminates silent data corruption without software overhead or additional MCU processing, directly improving functional safety metrics (e.g., FIT rate) in ASIL-B/C systems where EEPROM-stored calibration data affects control outputs.
