The CAT1161WI-42-GT3 is an IC component specifically designed for the implementation of portable devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras. It is a low-power, 4-bit I2C bus serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with a 2-wire serial interface.
Key features of the CAT1161WI-42-GT3 include:
1. Memory Capacity: The IC component offers a total memory capacity of 4 kilobits (512 bytes) divided into 64 pages, each containing 8 bytes. This provides ample storage for storing configuration data, settings, or small code snippets.
2. I2C Bus Interface: The CAT1161WI-42-GT3 follows the industry-standard I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus protocol, allowing for easy integration with other ICs in the system. It supports a 100 kHz clock frequency for communication, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and devices.
3. Low Power Consumption: Designed for portable devices, the CAT1161WI-42-GT3 consumes minimal power during operation. With its low standby current, it helps conserve battery life, enhancing the overall efficiency and lifespan of the device.
4. Write Protection: The IC component includes built-in write-protection features that ensure the stored data remains secure. It provides software write protection for individual pages, preventing accidental or unauthorized modification of critical data
