The 25AA256-I/P is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 256-kilobit (32-kilobyte) serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with a low-power CMOS technology. This IC is commonly used in various applications that require non-volatile memory storage.
Key Features of the 25AA256-I/P:
1. Memory Capacity: The IC offers a memory capacity of 256 kilobits (32 kilobytes), which is organized into 4096 pages of 64 bytes each. This capacity allows for the storage of significant amounts of data in a compact form.
2. Serial Interface: The component employs a 3-wire synchronous serial interface, consisting of a Clock (SCK), Data Input (SI), and Data Output (SO) pin. This simplifies the communication protocol and enables easy integration into different systems.
3. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz, the IC allows for fast read and write operations, minimizing data transfer latencies.
4. Low Power Consumption: The 25AA256-I/P is designed with power-saving features, drawing a mere 2.5 mA during active read/write operations and only 10 uA during standby mode. This low power consumption is ideal for battery-powered devices, extending the overall battery life
