Microchip Technology 25LC080A-I/ST EEPROM

The 25LC080A-I/ST is a high-quality, 8 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device from Microchip Technology, designed to provide reliable data storage solutions for a wide range of applications. This particular EEPROM device comes in an 8-pin TSSOP (thin shrink small outline package) and operates on a standard serial interface, making it suitable for serial memory applications where low-power and low-voltage operations are essential.

With a memory density of 8 Kbits, the 25LC080A-I/ST provides ample space for storing configuration settings, calibration data, or small application logs. The device supports the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus, which ensures high-speed data transfer rates and simple integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems.

Key features of the 25LC080A-I/ST include:

• Operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, accommodating a variety of logic levels and power supplies.
• High endurance with a write cycle rating of over 1 million cycles, ensuring data reliability and longevity.
• Data retention of more than 200 years, offering a long-term storage solution.
• Self-timed erase and write cycles with auto-erase before write, simplifying the programming process.
• Page write buffer for up to 16 bytes, allowing efficient batch writing operations.
• Sequential read mode for quick access to the entire memory array.
• Software write protection for the entire memory array, preventing accidental data corruption.

The device is also characterized for operation across the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), making it robust enough for demanding environments and applications such as industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and portable devices.

Microchip Technology's commitment to quality ensures that the 25LC080A-I/ST EEPROM is a reliable choice for designers and engineers looking for a non-volatile memory solution that offers stability, durability, and compatibility.
