MCHP25LC320A-I/SN
Overview
The 25LC320A-I/SN is a 32Kbit serial Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) from Microchip Technology, organized as 4096 x 8 bits. It utilizes a high-speed SPI bus interface capable of clock frequencies up to 10 MHz and operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. This non-volatile memory is designed for applications requiring low power consumption and reliable data storage in an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC package.
Why Choose This Part
This device features a very low standby current of only 5uA and an active read current of 5mA at 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-powered designs. It supports high-speed data transfers with a 10 MHz clock and offers robust data retention in a compact 8-SOIC footprint across the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Interface the memory to a microcontroller using the four-pin SPI bus (CS, SCK, SI, SO). Ensure the HOLD and WP pins are tied high if their respective functions are not required. Microchip provides the MPLAB XC8/XC16 compilers and peripheral libraries to simplify SPI communication and command sequencing for EEPROM operations.
