FT25C08A-USR-T

Overview

The FT25C08A-USR-T is a serial EEPROM memory device manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It features an 8Kb (1024 x 8) storage capacity organized in 8-bit words. The component utilizes an SPI interface with a maximum clock frequency of 20MHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports surface mount installation in an SOP-8 package measuring 4.90 x 3.90mm with a height of 1.75mm. The device is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile data retention capability preserving stored information without power
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication protocol support
• Wide operating voltage compatibility from 1.8V to 5.5V
• Industrial temperature range operation capability

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in sensor modules
• Device identification and serial number storage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix USR-T against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pin configuration and marking requirements for your PCB design. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for your target market before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an SPI interface is preferred over I2C for higher speed data access up to 20MHz. The 8Kb capacity suits applications needing moderate non-volatile storage without complex addressing schemes. Verify that the SOP-8 package dimensions fit the available board space and that the 1.8V to 5.5V voltage range aligns with the system power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT25C series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd, designed for general-purpose non-volatile memory applications. The series offers various capacities and interfaces, with the FT25C08A specifically providing 8Kb storage via SPI. It serves as a compact solution for storing small amounts of critical data in consumer electronics and industrial control systems.
