S-25C010A0I-I8T1U

Overview

The S-25C010A0I-I8T1U is a serial EEPROM with a capacity of 1 K-bit organized as 128 words by 8 bits. It operates via SPI interface at frequencies up to 5.0 MHz when VCC is between 2.5 V and 5.5 V, or up to 2.0 MHz for voltages from 1.6 V to 2.5 V. The device supports read operations from 1.6 V to 5.5 V and write operations from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. It features page writes of 16 bytes, software and hardware write protection, and data retention of 100 years with an endurance of 10^6 cycles per word.

Feature Summary

• Supports SPI mode (0,0) and (1,1) with sequential read capabilities
• Includes hardware and software write protect functions with selectable block sizes
• Features low power consumption and built-in voltage detection for write protection during low supply conditions

Applications

• Consumer electronics
• Office equipment
• Communications devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type matches the design requirements, as this model uses the SNT-8A package. Confirm environmental compliance codes if lead-free or halogen-free specifications are mandatory for the assembly process. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power supply rails, particularly noting the difference between read and write minimum voltage thresholds.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring small memory capacity with high-speed serial access. Consider the S-25C020A or S-25C040A variants if larger storage capacities are needed while maintaining the same interface and pinout compatibility. Evaluate the write endurance and data retention requirements against the intended usage cycle to ensure long-term reliability within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the S-25C010A/020A/040A series of SPI serial E2PROMs manufactured by ABLIC Inc. The series offers varying memory densities while sharing common operational characteristics, instruction sets, and physical packaging options. The I suffix indicates the industrial temperature range operation capability.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include S-25C020A0I-I8T1U and S-25C040A0I-I8T1U for increased capacity. Cross-vendor equivalents should be verified for pin compatibility and voltage levels.
