MICROCHIP EEPROM Serial 128K DIP8

The MICROCHIP EEPROM Serial 128K DIP8 is a 16k x 8 (128kb) serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory designed for advanced, low-power applications such as personal communications and data acquisition. It operates efficiently across a broad voltage range, offering reliable performance in demanding environments.

This device features a page write capability of up to 64 bytes of data and supports both random and sequential reads up to the 128k boundary. Functional address lines allow up to eight devices to operate on the same bus, expanding the address space up to 1Mb. Built with low-power CMOS technology, it ensures minimal power consumption with a typical write current of 3mA and a standby current of just 100nA.

Key Features

• 2-wire serial interface, I²C compatible
• Cascadable up to eight devices
• Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression
• Output slope control to eliminate ground bounce
• Self-timed erase/write cycle with a typical page write time of 5ms
• 64-byte page write buffer
• Hardware write-protect
• ESD protection greater than 4000V
• More than 1 million erase/write cycles
• Data retention greater than 200 years
• Factory programming available

Designed for through-hole mounting with an 8-pin DIP package, this EEPROM measures 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, and weighs just 0.001 grams. Please note: This is an ESD sensitive device; proper precautions must be taken while handling.
