Microchip Technology
EEPROM Memory IC 64Kbit SPI 20 MHz 8-SOIC
NRND7,188 in stock

Overview

The AT25640B-SSHL-T is a 64Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 8192 words of 8 bits each, designed for reliable non-volatile data storage. It utilizes a high-speed SPI interface capable of 20 MHz clock rates and operates over a wide voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V. This component is optimized for low-power applications, featuring a standby current of only 10 microamps.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers high reliability with a self-timed write cycle of 5ms and a 32-byte page mode for efficient data writes. It includes hardware write protection via the WP pin and block write protection for securing specific memory segments. The wide 1.8V to 5.5V operating range ensures compatibility with both legacy 5V systems and modern low-voltage logic.

Applications

Microcontroller Configuration Storage
Storing boot parameters, calibration data, and lookup tables for 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs.
Industrial Datalogging
Recording sensor event logs and system state information in harsh industrial environments.
Consumer Electronics Presets
Saving user preferences and device settings in battery-powered handheld equipment.

Getting Started

To interface with the AT25640B, configure your MCU's SPI peripheral for Mode 0 or Mode 3 operation. Use the standard 8-bit instruction set (WREN, WRITE, READ) and ensure the WP and HOLD pins are tied high if not in use. Microchip's MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) provides drivers that can simplify the implementation of the SPI protocol for this device.
