Overview

The AT25M02-SSHD-T is a high-density 2Mbit SPI Serial EEPROM from Microchip Technology, organized as 256K x 8 bits. It operates across a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports SPI modes 0 and 3 with clock frequencies up to 5 MHz. Designed for high reliability, it offers a 1,000,000-cycle write endurance and data retention for over 100 years.

Why Choose This Part

This device features a large 256-byte page write buffer and a fast self-timed write cycle of 10ms, improving throughput for large data sets. It includes hardware and software write protection mechanisms, such as a dedicated WP pin and block protection bits, alongside robust ESD protection exceeding 4,000V.

Applications

Configuration Storage
Storing complex device configuration tables and calibration parameters that require frequent updates and long-term retention.
Event Logging
Capturing operational logs and diagnostic data in industrial systems where non-volatile reliability is critical during power loss.
Firmware Backup
Providing a small, reliable storage area for backup firmware images or bootloader recovery code in embedded systems.
