Description:
• 20 MHz max. Clock Speed
• Byte and Page-level Write Operations:
- 128-byte page
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA512 is a 512 Kbit
serial EEPROM memory with byte-level and page-level
serial EEPROM functions. It also features Page, Sector
and Chip erase functions typically associated with
Flash-based products. These functions are not required
for byte or page write operations. 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 by a Chip
Select (CS) input.
- 5 ms max.
- No page or sector erase required
• Low-Power CMOS Technology:
- Max. Write Current: 5 mA at 5.5V, 20 MHz
- Read Current: 10 mA at 5.5V, 20 MHz
- Standby Current: 1A at 2.5V (Deep power-
down)
• Electronic Signature for Device ID
• Self-Timed Erase and Write cycles:
- Page Erase (5 ms, typical)
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.
- Sector Erase (10 ms/sector, typical)
- Bulk Erase (10 ms, typical)
• Sector Write Protection (16K byte/sector):
- Protect none, 1/4, 1/2 or all of array
The 25AA512 is available in standard packages includ-
ing 8-lead PDIP, SOIC, and advanced 8-lead DFN
package. All packages are Pb-free and RoHS
compliant.
• Built-In Write Protection:
- Power-on/off data protection circuitry
- Write enable latch
- Write-protect pin
• High Reliability:
Package Types (not to scale)
- Endurance: 1 Million erase/write cycles
- Data Retention: >200 years
- ESD Protection: 4000V
