The GT25C16-2UDLI-TR is a 16K-bit CMOS Serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) manufactured by Giantec. It's organized as 2048 x 8 bits and accessed via a simple Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), making it suitable for various data storage applications in electronic systems.

Applications

• Consumer electronics: such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and TVs.
• Industrial control systems: for storing configuration data and parameters.
• Automotive electronics: used in car radios, dashboards, and engine control units.
• Medical devices: storing calibration data or patient-specific information.
• Networking equipment: for storing network configurations and settings.

Features

• Low Voltage Operation: Operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and systems.
• SPI Interface: Standard SPI interface allows easy integration with microcontrollers. Supports modes 0 and 3.
• High Reliability: Endurance of 1,000,000 erase/write cycles and data retention of 100 years.
• Write Protection: Hardware write protection via the WP pin prevents accidental data corruption.
• Self-Timed Write Cycle: Includes an internal self-timed write cycle (5ms max) simplifying the write operation.
• Small Package: Available in small outline packages such as SOIC, TSSOP, and DIP, saving board space.
• Page Write Mode: Supports page write mode allowing up to 16 bytes to be written simultaneously, improving write throughput.
