The AT25040N-10SI-2.7 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component from Atmel Corporation. It is a serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with a storage capacity of 4 kilobits (512 bytes). Here are some key features of this IC component:
1. Low power consumption: The AT25040N-10SI-2.7 operates on a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for low-power applications.
2. High reliability: It offers a guaranteed minimum endurance of 1 million write cycles and data retention for a minimum of 100 years.
3. SPI interface: The IC utilizes the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol for communication, which allows for fast and easy integration into microcontroller-based systems.
4. Byte and page write operations: It provides both byte and page write operations, allowing for flexible programming of data. The page write feature enables simultaneous programming of up to 32 bytes, improving efficiency.
5. Read and write protection: The AT25040N-10SI-2.7 supports software and hardware write protection, preventing unauthorized modification of stored data. It also offers a dedicated write-protect pin for easy control.
6. Self-timed programming cycle: The IC has a self-timed programming cycle, eliminating the need for additional programming software or external timers
