Frequently Asked Questions

How does the factory-programmed EUI-48 address in 25AA02E48T-I/OT reduce production complexity for Ethernet-enabled products?

The 25AA02E48T-I/OT ships with a unique 48-bit EUI-48 MAC address burned at the factory into a write-protected region of the 2 Kbit EEPROM, removing the need for a MAC programming station on the assembly line. During firmware initialization the host MCU reads the address over the 4-wire SPI bus at up to 10 MHz and loads it into the Ethernet MAC controller, saving programming time per unit in high-volume production runs. This eliminates duplicate MAC address errors that occur during manual programming.

What SPI clock rates and supply voltages does 25AA02E48T-I/OT support, and how does this affect interface design?

25AA02E48T-I/OT supports SPI clock frequencies up to 10 MHz at 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply and up to 3 MHz at 1.8 V to 2.5 V supply, making it directly compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting in most cases. The standard 4-wire SPI interface (CS, SCK, SI, SO) allows connection to virtually any MCU peripheral or bit-bang GPIO, and the 6-pin SOT-23 package keeps routing minimal.

What is the write endurance and data retention specification of 25AA02E48T-I/OT, and how does this compare to typical EEPROM requirements?

25AA02E48T-I/OT guarantees 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per byte and a minimum data retention of 200 years at room temperature. Most industrial and consumer applications require fewer than 100,000 write cycles over the product lifetime, so this device provides a substantial margin. The 200-year retention at 25 °C ensures that configuration data and MAC address remain intact across the entire 10 to 20 year operational life typical of embedded systems.
