The AT27C4096-12JC is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 4-megabit (4M) electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device. Here are some key features and an overview of its capabilities:
1. Memory Capacity: The IC component has a capacity of 4 megabits, which is equivalent to 512 kilobytes. It is organized as 524,288 words of 8 bits each, providing a large storage space for data.
2. Non-Volatile Memory: The AT27C4096-12JC is a non-volatile memory device, meaning it retains the stored data even when the power is turned off. This makes it suitable for applications that require long-term data storage.
3. High-Speed Operation: It operates with a fast access time of 120 nanoseconds (ns). This enables quick retrieval of data, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid access to information.
4. Programming Mode: The IC supports In-System Programming (ISP), allowing the memory to be programmed while it is still connected to the circuit in which it is used. It is compatible with popular programming equipment, enabling efficient programming during the production or testing phase.
5. Easy Erasure: Erasing the entire memory is made easy through an electrical signal, eliminating the need for additional external components. This simplifies the process of reprogramming the memory when required
