Microchip Technology, Inc. Memory 25LC160AT-E/SN

The 25LC160AT-E/SN is a 16 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM from Quarktwin Technology Ltd., designed for use in applications requiring non-volatile memory. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed data transfer. The memory is organized as 2048 x 8 bits and features a 16-byte page write capability, allowing for efficient data handling. This device utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication, requiring a clock input, data input, and data output lines, along with a Chip Select input for device access control. It includes a hold pin to pause communication, enabling the host to manage higher priority tasks without losing data integrity. The 25LC160AT-E/SN also incorporates built-in write protection features, including a write-protect pin and power-on/off data protection circuitry. With a write cycle time of a maximum of 5 ms and an endurance of 1,000,000 erase/write cycles, this memory device is designed for reliability. It offers data retention exceeding 200 years and is compliant with RoHS standards. The part is available in various package types, including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, making it versatile for different design requirements.
