Overview

The AT25040B-SSHL-T is a 4Kbit serial SPI EEPROM organized as 512 words of 8 bits each. This high-reliability memory IC supports clock frequencies up to 20 MHz and operates across a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, making it suitable for low-voltage battery-powered applications.

Why Choose This Part

This component offers high reliability with an industrial temperature range of -40C to 85C and ESD protection exceeding 4,000V. Its 8-byte page write mode and block write protection provide efficient data management and protection against accidental overwrites.

Applications

Configuration Storage
Ideal for storing calibration data, device settings, and user preferences in embedded systems.
Industrial Instrumentation
Maintains critical operational logs and sensor offset values in harsh environments requiring high ESD protection.
Consumer Electronics
Used in power-sensitive devices for persistent storage of firmware metadata and state information.
