DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. 24LC164 is a cascad-
able 16 Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM).
The device is organized as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit
memory with a 2-wire serial interface. Low voltage
design permits operation down to 2.5 volts with standby
and active currents of only 5 µA and 1 mA respectively.
The 24LC164 also has a page-write capability for up to
16 bytes of data. The 24LC164 is available in the stan-
dard 8-pin DIP and 8-lead surface mount SOIC pack-
ages.

The three select pins, A0, A1 and A2, function as chip
select inputs and allow up to eight devices to share a
common bus, for up to 128 Kbits total system
EEPROM.
