AT24C512C-SSHD-T

Microchip · EEPROM · SOIC-8

AT24C512C-SSHD-T from Microchip, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A0 input Device address input bit 0. Hardwired to VCC or GND to set the least-significant bit of the I2C slave address, allowing up to eight AT24C512C devices to share one 2-wire bus. Internally pulled down to GND if left floating, but Atmel recommends tying to a known state (10kΩ or less).
2 A1 input Device address input bit 1. Hardwired to VCC or GND to help select one of up to eight devices on a shared 2-wire bus. Internally pulled down to GND if left floating; Atmel recommends a hard tie or pull-resistor (10kΩ or less).
3 A2 input Device address input bit 2 (MSB of the hardware address). Hardwired to VCC or GND for multi-device addressing on a shared 2-wire bus. Internally pulled down to GND if left floating; Atmel recommends a hard tie or pull-resistor (10kΩ or less).
4 GND power_in Ground / VSS reference for the device.
5 SDA bidirectional Serial data line for the 2-wire (I2C-compatible) interface. Bidirectional, open-drain (requires an external pull-up to VCC, typically 1.3kΩ at 2.5-5V or 10kΩ at 1.7V per AC spec). May be wire-ORed with any number of other open-drain/open-collector devices. Input capacitance 8pF max.
6 SCL input Serial clock input for the 2-wire (I2C-compatible) interface. Positive edges clock data into the device, negative edges clock data out. Supports up to 400kHz at 1.7V VCC and up to 1MHz at 2.5-5.5V VCC. Requires external pull-up to VCC.
7 WP input Write Protect input. When tied to GND, normal write operations are permitted; when tied directly to VCC, all writes to the memory array are inhibited (full-array protection). Internally pulled down to GND if left floating; Atmel recommends a hard tie or 10kΩ or smaller pull resistor.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 1.7V to 3.6V (VCC1 variant) or 2.5V to 5.5V (VCC2 variant). Typical supply currents: 2.0mA (read at 400kHz, 5V) and 3.0mA (write at 400kHz, 5V); standby currents 1-6µA depending on VCC.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
at24c512c-sshd-t.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
at24c512c-sshd-t-etched.step 2.7 MB You want the part with AT24C512C-SSHD-T already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 666 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
