Overview

The CAT25160VI-GT3 is a 16Kbit SPI Serial EEPROM organized as 2048 words of 8 bits each. It operates over a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports high-speed data transfers up to 20 MHz, making it suitable for high-performance embedded systems requiring non-volatile storage.

Why Choose This Part

This device features a 32-byte page write buffer and a self-timed write cycle for efficient data handling. It offers high reliability with 1,000,000 program/erase cycles and 100-year data retention, housed in a standard 8-pin SOIC package for easy integration.

Applications

Parameter Storage
Storing calibration data, user preferences, and configuration settings in industrial and consumer devices.
Event Logging
Recording system errors, timestamps, or usage statistics where data must be retained during power cycles.
Firmware Metadata
Holding bootloader pointers, hardware versioning information, and small look-up tables.
