The 25LC010A-I/SN is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a high-performance, low-power, 1K-bit Serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) communication interface. Some of the key features of this component include:
1. Memory Size: The 25LC010A-I/SN has a memory size of 1K bits or 128 bytes. It is organized as a single array of 256 x 8 (8-bit bytes) and supports both byte and page read/write operations.
2. Serial Interface: The IC uses a 3-wire SPI communication interface, allowing for easy integration with a wide range of microcontrollers and other digital devices. It supports both the Standard (Mode 0,0) and Fast (Mode 1,1) SPI modes.
3. Low Power Consumption: The IC is designed for low-power applications, consuming very little power during both active and standby modes. This makes it suitable for battery-powered devices or energy-efficient systems.
4. Hardware Write Protection: The 25LC010A-I/SN provides write protection options to prevent accidental or unauthorized writes to the memory. It includes a Write Enable latch and a Write Protection (WP) pin, which can be controlled externally to protect the data stored in the EEPROM
