CAT25256/D
CAT25256
EEPROM Serial 256-Kb SPI
Description
The CAT25256 is a EEPROM Serial 256−Kb SPI device internally
organized as 32Kx8 bits. This features a 64−byte page write buffer and
supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. The device is
enabled through a Chip Select (CS) input. In addition, the required bus
signals are clock input (SCK), data input (SI) and data output (SO)
lines. The HOLD
input may be used to pause any serial
communication with the CAT25256 device. The device features
software and hardware write protection, including partial as well as
full array protection.
On−Chip ECC (Error Correction Code) makes the device suitable
for high reliability applications.*
