MCHP25LC160B-I/SN
Overview
The 25LC160B-I/SN is a 16 Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 2048 x 8 bits, designed for reliable non-volatile data storage. It utilizes a standard SPI interface and supports a clock frequency up to 10 MHz, making it suitable for applications requiring fast data transfers in compact embedded systems. The device operates across a wide voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V and includes a 32-byte page write capability.
Why Choose This Part
The 25LC160B features a low-power CMOS technology with a standby current of only 5 uA and a 32-byte page write buffer to minimize write cycle overhead. It provides robust data protection through a hardware write-protect pin, a write enable latch, and block write protection for specific segments of the memory array.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To interface with this EEPROM, connect the SPI pins (CS, SCK, SI, SO) to your microcontroller and ensure the WP pin is pulled high if hardware write protection is not required. Use standard SPI libraries to send the WREN (Write Enable) instruction before any write operation, and monitor the WIP (Write In Progress) bit in the status register to verify the 5ms write cycle is complete.
