CAT25020ZI-GT3

Memory IC Overview

The CAT25020ZI-GT3 is a 2-Kbit SPI Serial CMOS EEPROM manufactured by onsemi. It features an internal organization of 256 x 8 bits and supports a maximum clock frequency of 20 MHz with a 75 ns access time. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and consumes a maximum active read current of 2 mA. Data retention is specified at 100 years, and it functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard SPI serial interface protocols for data communication
• Provides non-volatile storage with long-term data retention capabilities
• Operates with low power consumption during active reading cycles

Memory IC Applications

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and suffix against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental declarations. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes. Validate that the delivered components match the exact part number specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 2-Kbit memory solution is required for SPI-based systems. Consider the MSOP package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 1.8 V to 5.5 V operating range against system power rails. Compare performance metrics with alternative EEPROM families if higher density or different interfaces are needed.
