The IC component 25C160-I/SN is a Serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device manufactured by Microchip Technology. It has a storage capacity of 16 kilo-bits, divided into 2048 bytes of memory organized in a 256-byte page structure.
Key features of the 25C160-I/SN include:
1. Serial Communication: The IC supports a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication, allowing for easy integration with various microcontrollers and other devices.
2. Low Power Consumption: It operates on a low power supply voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V, which makes it suitable for battery-powered applications.
3. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz during read and write operations, this EEPROM provides fast data transfer rates.
4. Non-Volatile Memory: The 25C160-I/SN is a non-volatile memory, meaning it can retain data even when the power is removed. This ensures data persistence and reliability.
5. Write Protection: It offers software and hardware write protection options to prevent accidental modification of stored data. These protection mechanisms add an extra layer of security for critical data
