25LC160DT-E/MNY

Overview

The Microchip Technology 25LC160DT-E/MNY is a 16 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM featuring a 2048 x 8-bit organization. It utilizes an SPI-compatible serial bus with a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It employs low-power CMOS technology, offering high endurance exceeding 1 million erase/write cycles and data retention greater than 200 years.

Feature Summary

• Supports 32-byte page write operations for efficient data storage
• Includes built-in hardware write protection via the WP pin and STATUS register bits
• Features a HOLD input to pause serial communication without resetting the sequence
• Provides block write protection allowing selective array segment locking

Applications

• Microcontroller system data logging
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded devices
• Calibration value retention in industrial sensors
• Firmware version tracking in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates automotive grade qualification (-40°C to +125°C) and 'MNY' denotes the TDFN-8 package. Confirm RoHS compliance and Pb-free status against current manufacturer documentation. Ensure design compatibility with the specified voltage and temperature ranges before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an SPI interface is required for non-volatile memory with automotive-grade temperature resilience. The 32-byte page size suits applications needing moderate write throughput. Compare against the 'C' variant if only 16-byte pages are needed or if industrial grade (-40°C to +85°C) suffices for the target environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 25LC160C/D family of 16 Kbit Serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 25LC160T-I/SN but differs in package type and operating temperature specifications. The 'D' designation specifically identifies the 32-byte page size configuration within this product line.

Replacement Considerations
