Features
Description
• Max. clock 10 MHz
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA160A/B,
*
25LC160A/B (25XX160A/B ) are 16 Kbit Serial
• Low-power CMOS technology
• 2048 x 8-bit organization
• 16 byte page (‘A’ version devices)
• 32 byte page (‘B’ version devices)
• Write cycle time: 5 ms max.
• Self-timed ERASE and WRITE cycles
• Block write protection
Electrically Erasable PROMs. The memory is accessed
via a simple Serial Peripheral Interface™ (SPI™)
compatible serial bus. The bus signals required are a
clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI) and data
out (SO) lines. Access to the device is controlled
through a Chip Select (CS) input.
Communication to the device can be paused via the
hold pin (HOLD). While the device is paused, transi-
tions on its inputs will be ignored, with the exception of
chip select, allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts.
- Protect none, 1/4, 1/2 or all of array
• Built-in write protection
- Power-on/off data protection circuitry
- Write enable latch
The 25XX160A/B is available in standard packages
including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced
packaging including 8-lead MSOP, and 8-lead TSSOP.
Pb-free (Pure Matte Sn) finish is also available.
- Write-protect pin
• Sequential read
• High reliability
- Endurance: 1,000,000 erase/write cycles
- Data retention: > 200 years
- ESD protection: > 4000V
• Temperature ranges supported;
