Description
The AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 provides 1024/2048/4096/8192/16384 bits of serial elec-
trically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) organized as
128/256/512/1024/2048 words of 8 bits each. The device is optimized for use in many
industrial and commercial applications where low-power and low-voltage operation
are essential. The AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 is available in space-saving 8-lead PDIP,
8-lead JEDEC SOIC, 8-lead MAP and 8-lead TSSOP packages and is accessed via a
2-wire serial interface. In addition, the entire family is available in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V)
and 1.8V (1.8V to 5.5V) versions.

Pin Description
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL): The SCL input is used to positive edge clock data into each
EEPROM device and negative edge clock data out of each device.
SERIAL DATA (SDA): The SDA pin is bi-directional for serial data transfer. This pin is
open-drain driven and may be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain or open-
collector devices.
DEVICE/PAGE ADDRESSES (A2, A1, A0): The A2, A1 and A0 pins are device
address inputs that are hard wired for the AT24C01A and the AT24C02. As many as
eight 1K/2K devices may be addressed on a single bus system (device addressing is
discussed in detail under the Device Addressing section).
The AT24C04 uses the A2 and A1 inputs for hard wire addressing and a total of four 4K
devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 pin is a no connect.
The AT24C08 only uses the A2 input for hardwire addressing and a total of two 8K
devices may be addressed on a single bus system. The A0 and A1 pins are no
connects.
The AT24C16 does not use the device address pins, which limits the number of devices
on a single bus to one. The A0, A1 and A2 pins are no connects.
WRITE PROTECT (WP): The AT24C01A/02/04/16 has a Write Protect pin that provides
hardware data protection. The Write Protect pin allows normal read/write operations
when connected to ground (GND). When the Write Protect pin is connected to V
CC
, the
write protection feature is enabled and operates as shown in the following table.
Memory Organization
AT24C01A, 1K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 16 pages of 8 bytes each,
the 1K requires a 7-bit data word address for random word addressing.
AT24C02, 2K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 32 pages of 8 bytes each,
the 2K requires an 8-bit data word address for random word addressing.
AT24C04, 4K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 32 pages of 16 bytes each,
the 4K requires a 9-bit data word address for random word addressing.
AT24C08, 8K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 64 pages of 16 bytes each,
the 8K requires a 10-bit data word address for random word addressing.
AT24C16, 16K SERIAL EEPROM: Internally organized with 128 pages of 16 bytes
each, the 16K requires an 11-bit data word address for random word addressing.
