Frequently Asked Questions
What is the memory capacity and organization of the 25LC160A-I/MS?
The 25LC160A-I/MS provides 16Kbits of EEPROM storage organized as 2048 bytes (2K x 8-bit words) with a 16-byte page write buffer. This organization is well-suited for storing structured data blocks such as configuration tables, calibration coefficients, and device identification information in embedded systems.
What interface does the 25LC160A-I/MS use and how fast is it?
The 25LC160A-I/MS uses an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus and supports a maximum clock frequency of 10MHz. This high-speed interface allows rapid data transfers compared to I2C-based EEPROMs, making it advantageous in applications where fast configuration loading or high-throughput data logging is needed.
What endurance and data retention does the 25LC160A-I/MS offer?
The 25LC160A-I/MS is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles, providing excellent longevity for frequently updated storage. Additionally, it offers a minimum data retention time of 200 years, ensuring that stored data remains intact over the entire product lifetime even when the device is unpowered for extended periods.
What package and supply voltage does the 25LC160A-I/MS require?
The 25LC160A-I/MS is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package) and operates at a 2.5V supply voltage. The compact MSOP package is compatible with standard automated surface-mount assembly and is suitable for space-constrained PCB designs in portable and handheld applications.
