Frequently Asked Questions
What is the storage capacity and SPI clock speed of the 25LC160A-I/SN?
The 25LC160A-I/SN provides 16 Kbit (2048 x 8-bit) of EEPROM storage accessible via SPI at up to 10 MHz. Its 16-byte page write buffer allows efficient burst writes, and the device operates over a wide 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply range suitable for both 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
How does 25LC160A-I/SN endurance compare to typical EEPROM alternatives for frequent-write applications?
25LC160A-I/SN is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per byte location, which is comparable to industry-standard SPI EEPROMs in its class. This endurance, combined with a minimum 200-year data retention time, makes it suitable for applications logging sensor readings or updating configuration data tens of thousands of times per year.
Which microcontroller families can interface directly with 25LC160A-I/SN without level shifting?
Because 25LC160A-I/SN operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, it interfaces directly with 3.3 V systems like STM32, nRF52, or ESP32 families as well as 5 V AVR and PIC microcontrollers without external level shifters. The 10 MHz SPI clock matches standard SPI peripherals, and the SOIC-8 footprint simplifies PCB layout.
What package does 25LC160A-I/SN use and what are its board space requirements?
25LC160A-I/SN is packaged in an SOIC-8 (R-PDSO-G8) with a body size of approximately 4.9 x 3.9 mm and 1.27 mm pin pitch. This compact SMD footprint fits easily on dense PCBs and allows pick-and-place assembly, making it practical for space-constrained designs in wearables, smart sensors, and handheld instruments.
