AK6508CT

Memory IC Overview

The AK6508CT is a 16Kbit (2K x 8) serial EEPROM memory IC manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices. It features an SPI-compatible interface supporting clock frequencies up to 10 MHz for efficient data transfer. The device operates within a standard voltage supply range and utilizes an 8-TMSOP surface-mount package. It provides non-volatile data storage suitable for applications requiring reliable retention of configuration parameters or small data sets without power.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Serial EEPROM architecture with SPI interface
• Non-volatile data retention capabilities
• Compact surface-mount packaging

Memory IC Applications

• Configuration parameter storage in electronic devices
• Data logging for low-volume information
• Calibration data retention in sensor systems

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and ordering suffixes, as availability may vary by region. Confirm package type and voltage specifications against your design requirements before procurement. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by your manufacturing process. Check for any recent product change notices that might affect pinout or electrical characteristics.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small, non-volatile memory solution with a simple serial interface is required. The 16Kbit capacity is ideal for storing limited configuration data rather than large datasets. Consider the 10 MHz SPI speed for moderate data throughput needs. Evaluate the 8-TMSOP package size constraints against your PCB layout limitations.

Memory IC Part Context
