MPS E PROM
Micro Port Saver E2PROM
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Direct Interface to Micros
The X84041 Micro Port Saver is a 4096-bit CMOS
E PROM designed for a direct interface to port limited
2
—Eliminates I/O port requirements
—No interface glue logic required
—Eliminatesneedforparalleltoserialconverters
• 3.3Mbps data transfer rate
• Low Power CMOS
microcontroller or I/O limited microprocessor designs.
The X84041 provides all of the benefits of serial memo-
ries, such as low cost, low power, low voltage operation,
and small package size, while featuring higher data
transferratesandreducedinterfacecoderequirements—
without the need for a dedicated serial bus. The X84041
is organized as a 512 x 8, but is also suitable in 16-bit or
32-bit environments, due to the bit serial nature of the
interface.
—2.7V to 5.5V Operation
—Standby Current Less than 50µA
—Active Current Less than 1mA
• 45ns Read Access Time
• 8-Byte Page Write Mode
• Typical Nonvolatile Write Cycle Time: 5ms
• High Reliability
—100,000 Endurance Cycles
—Guaranteed Data Retention: 100 Years
• 8-Lead PDIP, 8-Lead SOIC, and
14-Lead TSSOP Packages
The X84041 directly connects to the processor bus and
communicates over a single data line using a sequence
of standard bus read and write operations. This elimi-
nates the need for dedicated port pins, parallel to serial
converters,complicatedASICimplementations,orother
glue logic, lowering system cost.
