25LC160A in 25LCxx / AT25 SPI EEPROM Family
The 25LC160A is a 16-Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for efficient non-volatile data storage. Utilizing a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), it supports clock speeds up to 10 MHz. This family is widely recognized for its high reliability, offering over one million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years. It operates across a wide voltage range, making it a staple for persistent storage in power-constrained embedded systems and industrial control applications.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the 25LC160A family primarily differ based on operating temperature ratings, package types, and voltage ranges. Standard industrial versions operate from -40C to +85C, while extended automotive versions reach +125C. Common packages include the 8-lead SOIC, MSOP, TSSOP, and PDIP. Some variants are also available in ultra-thin DFN or wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) for space-critical designs.
