Microchip Technology, Inc. Memory 25LC160C-E/P

The 25LC160C-E/P is a 16 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. It operates on a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. The device features a 16-byte page size for efficient data writing and has a low-power CMOS technology, with a maximum write current of 5 mA and a read current of 5 mA at 5.5V. This EEPROM supports self-timed erase and write cycles, with a maximum cycle time of 5 ms. It includes block write protection options, allowing protection of none, 1/4, 1/2, or the entire memory array. The device is designed for high reliability, boasting an endurance of over 1 million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years. It also features ESD protection greater than 4000V. The 25LC160C-E/P is available in various package types, including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and is compliant with RoHS standards. It operates within industrial temperature ranges of -40°C to +85°C and automotive ranges of -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
