Microchip Technology 25LC160-I/P EEPROM

The 25LC160-I/P is a 16K SPI Bus Serial EEPROM, a high-quality memory product from Microchip Technology, designed for data storage in a wide range of applications. This EEPROM device offers a robust storage solution with a non-volatile memory capacity of 16 Kbits, ensuring data retention without the need for a constant power supply. It operates on a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for various electronic devices and systems.

The 25LC160-I/P is packaged in a standard 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), which allows for easy integration into circuit boards with its through-hole mounting style. Its SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus interface facilitates a simple connection to microcontrollers and other digital systems, enabling fast data transfer rates and efficient communication.

One of the key features of this EEPROM is its endurance, with the device capable of withstanding at least 1 million write cycles. Additionally, it boasts a data retention period of over 200 years, offering long-term reliability for applications that require data to be preserved over extended periods.

The device also supports the Page Write operation, which allows up to 16 bytes of data to be written in a single cycle, improving write performance for applications that need to write data in blocks. Furthermore, the 25LC160-I/P includes a self-timed erase and write cycle with a maximum write cycle time of 5 ms, which means no external erase cycle is required before writing to the device.

With its industry-standard SPI interface, the 25LC160-I/P is compatible with a wide array of microcontrollers and is perfect for applications such as parameter storage, device configuration, and product calibration data. Its low-power consumption makes it an ideal choice for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications.

Overall, the Microchip Technology 25LC160-I/P EEPROM combines reliability, endurance, and ease of integration, making it a versatile choice for designers and engineers looking for a dependable non-volatile memory solution.
