Product details
Overview
M24C64-RDW6TP from STMicroelectronics is a 64-Kbit I²C-compatible EEPROM organized as 8 K × 8 bits, operating from 1.7 V to 5.5 V over –40 °C to +85 °C, supporting 1 MHz/400 kHz/100 kHz I²C bus modes, with 32-byte page write capability and hardware write protection via WC pin. It is used in industrial control modules for parameter storage, calibration data retention, and firmware configuration backup.
For engineers reviewing the M24C64-RDW6TP datasheet, M24C64-RDW6TP pinout, M24C64-RDW6TP application, or M24C64-RDW6TP equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range (1.7–5.5 V), I²C speed compatibility (up to 1 MHz), page size (32 bytes), write endurance (>4 million cycles), and package-specific pin mapping for SO8N/TSSOP8/UFDFPN/WLCSP variants.
Technical Context
The M24C64-RDW6TP implements a standard I²C slave protocol with start/stop detection, 7-bit device addressing (with E2/E1/E0 chip enable inputs), and ACK/NACK handshaking. Its internal architecture includes an address register, page latches, ECC logic (on K-process variants), and HV generator for EEPROM cell programming.
It supports three write modes - byte write, page write (max 32 bytes within same page), and identification page write (M24C64-D only) - with WC pin enabling full-array write lock. Read modes include random, current-address, and sequential, all independent of WC state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8 Kbyte), organized as 8K × 8 bits - sufficient for storing bootloader configs, sensor calibration tables, or device identity data in space-constrained embedded systems. |
| I²C Speed Support | 1 MHz / 400 kHz / 100 kHz - enables high-speed parameter updates in real-time control loops while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy 100 kHz controllers. |
| Page Size | 32 bytes - defines maximum atomic write burst; crossing page boundaries triggers roll-over, requiring software address alignment for deterministic behavior. |
| Write Time | ≤5 ms per byte or page - sets minimum inter-write interval; polling on ACK required for time-critical applications to avoid fixed delays. |
| Endurance & Retention | >4 million write cycles, >200 years data retention - ensures long-term reliability in infrequently updated but mission-critical storage (e.g., medical device serial logs). |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V (–40 °C to +85 °C) - supports direct interface with 1.8 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| ESD/Latch-up | Enhanced protection per ECOPACK2 - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for deployment in noisy factory-floor environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8N (ECOPACK2), 150 mil width, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E2) | Chip Enable LSB | Part of 3-bit device address (E2/E1/E0); tied low or high to configure I²C slave address; floating = logic 0 - enables up to 8 devices on same bus. |
| 2 (E1) | Chip Enable middle bit | Configures b2 of 7-bit device select code (1010 E2 E1 E0 R/W); determines unique I²C address alongside E2/E0 and bus topology. |
| 3 (E0) | Chip Enable MSB | Configures b1 of device select code; combined with E2/E1, selects one of eight possible addresses (1010xxx0 for write, 1010xxx1 for read). |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and VCC decoupling; requires local 10–100 nF capacitor placement near pin for stable I²C timing. |
| 5 (SDA) | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (value calculated per Figure 15/16 in DS6638); shared across multiple I²C slaves. |
| 6 (SCL) | Serial Clock input | Master-generated clock; rising edge samples SDA; falling edge allows SDA transition - timing must meet tSU:DAT and tHD:DAT specs in AC parameters table. |
| 7 (WC) | Write Control | Active-high hardware lock: when high, disables all writes to memory array (but still acknowledges device/address bytes); critical for preventing corruption during power transients. |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 1.7–5.5 V DC input; internal POR circuit prevents spurious writes during power ramp; decoupling capacitor mandatory for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-speed I²C compatibility | Operates at 1 MHz (fast-mode+), 400 kHz (fast-mode), and 100 kHz (standard-mode) - eliminates need for separate EEPROM families across product generations. |
| Hardware write protection | WC pin provides system-level lock of entire memory array - avoids reliance on software flags vulnerable to reset or crash-induced corruption. |
| Page write optimization | 32-byte page buffer enables burst writes without repeated address overhead - reduces I²C transaction count by up to 32× vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40 °C to +85 °C operation with 1.7 V min supply - certified for use in automotive body control modules and outdoor industrial gateways. |
| ECOPACK2 packaging | SO8N, TSSOP8, UFDFPN, and WLCSP options - supports both through-hole prototyping and ultra-compact PCB layouts for wearables and IoT sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar I²C EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C64D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | Same 64 Kbit capacity, 1.7–5.5 V, but max I²C speed = 1 MHz only in fast-mode+ (requires specific master support); no WC pin - uses software write protect. | Lacks hardware-level write lock; relies on software flag management - increases risk of corruption during unexpected resets. | Select when existing firmware already implements robust software locking and master supports fast-mode+ signaling. |
| BR24G64FJ-WE2 (ROHM) | 64 Kbit, 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz I²C, includes WC pin; but page size = 16 bytes (vs. 32 bytes), limiting burst efficiency. | Requires twice as many I²C transactions for same data volume - increases bus occupancy and CPU overhead in high-throughput logging. | Prefer for designs where smaller page size simplifies address management or where ROHM's AEC-Q200 qualification is mandated. |
Compared with AT24C64D-SSHM-T and BR24G64FJ-WE2, the M24C64-RDW6TP offers superior write efficiency (32-byte pages), deterministic hardware lock (WC pin), and broader industrial temperature compliance - making it optimal for safety-critical and high-reliability embedded storage.

FAQ
What is the function of the WC pin on M24C64-RDW6TP?
The WC (Write Control) pin is an active-high hardware lock that disables all write operations to the entire memory array when driven high. It does not affect read operations. When WC = high, the device acknowledges device and address bytes but returns NACK on data bytes, preventing inadvertent writes during power-up, brown-out, or software faults. This is a critical safety feature absent in many competing EEPROMs.
Does M24C64-RDW6TP support 1 MHz I²C communication in all temperature ranges?
Yes - the M24C64-RDW6TP supports 1 MHz (fast-mode+) I²C operation across its full industrial temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, provided VCC ≥ 2.5 V. At 1.7–2.4 V, maximum speed is limited to 400 kHz. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability with both legacy and next-generation I²C masters without compromising performance in wide-input-voltage designs.
How does the ECC feature work, and is it present in all M24C64-RDW6TP units?
ECC (Error Correction Code) is implemented only in M24C64 variants marked with process letter 'K' (e.g., M24C64-RDW6TP/K). It corrects single-bit errors per 4-byte group during read operations. Non-K parts lack this logic. The feature is transparent to I²C protocol - no software changes needed - but improves long-term data reliability in radiation-prone or high-temperature deployments like automotive under-hood modules.
Can M24C64-RDW6TP be used with a 1.8 V microcontroller without level shifting?
Yes - the M24C64-RDW6TP operates down to 1.7 V, making it fully compatible with 1.8 V I²C masters. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC) and open-drain SDA/SCL outputs allow direct connection using 1.8 V pull-ups. No level shifter is required, simplifying design and reducing board space - confirmed by ST's application note AN2844 for 1.8 V I²C interfacing.
