MICROCHIP Microwire Serial EEPROM 2K Bit 128 x 16 Bit SOIC 8 Pins

The MICROCHIP Microwire Serial EEPROM is a 2Kbit low-voltage memory device designed for reliable data storage. Providing dedicated 16-bit communication, this Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory is built using advanced CMOS technology, making it an ideal choice for low-power and non-volatile memory applications.

Key Features

This device incorporates several advanced features to ensure data integrity and ease of use. It operates with an industry standard 3-wire serial I/O and includes a device status signal (ready/busy) for efficient communication management. The memory supports self-timed erase/write cycles, which include auto-erase functionality. It also features an automatic erase all (ERAL) before write all (WRAL) command, a sequential read function, and robust power-on/off data protection circuitry to safeguard your data during power transitions.

Endurance and Reliability

Engineered for longevity, the EEPROM offers a typical endurance of 1,000,000 erase/write cycles and a data retention period exceeding 200 years. It is supplied in tube packaging and is an ESD sensitive device, requiring proper precautions during handling.

Applications

This versatile memory component is perfectly suited for integration into computers, computer peripherals, and automotive systems. Its surface mount design in an 8-pin SOIC package allows for compact and efficient board layout, operating reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a supply voltage between 2.5V and 5.5V.
