The IC component 25LC320/SN is a serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology. It offers 32 kilobits (4 kilobytes) of memory space divided into 256 pages of 16 bytes each.
Key Features:
1. Serial Communication: The 25LC320/SN uses a 3-wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, allowing for simple and fast communication with microcontrollers and other devices.
2. Non-Volatile Memory: It provides non-volatile storage, meaning the data remains even when the power supply is disconnected, making it suitable for applications requiring persistent storage.
3. Low Power Consumption: The IC component operates at a low supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V, resulting in minimal power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered devices.
4. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz, it offers fast read and write operations, optimizing data transfer rates to and from the memory.
5. Sector Locking: 25LC320/SN features software-protected sector locking, allowing specific memory sections to be write-protected to prevent accidental modification or unauthorized access.
6. Flexible Write Modes: It supports byte-level and page-level writes. Single-byte write mode enables random data modification, while page write mode improves efficiency by allowing simultaneous writing of up to 16 bytes within a single page
