Additional Details

The X2804AP typically operates from a single 5V power supply. It uses standard JEDEC pinouts for easy integration into existing designs. The chip's endurance rating specifies the number of write/erase cycles it can reliably withstand before performance degradation. Access time is a critical factor for overall memory system performance. This EEPROM suits applications requiring moderate memory capacity and reliable data retention.
