┌───┬───┐ │ 1 │ 8 │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┴───┘

Pin Description: 1. Chip Select (CS) 2. Serial Clock (SCK) 3. Serial Data Input/Output (SDI/SDO) 4. Ground (GND) 5. Write Protect (WP) 6. Hold (HOLD) 7. VCC (Power Supply) 8. Not Connected (NC)

Functional Features

• Byte-level read and write operations
• Software write protection using the Write Protect (WP) pin
• Hardware write protection using the Write Protect (WP) and Hold (HOLD) pins
• Sequential read mode for faster data retrieval
• Self-timed programming cycle for easy integration into systems

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - Low power consumption makes it suitable for battery-powered devices - High reliability ensures data integrity - Small form factor allows for space-efficient designs - Easy integration into circuit designs due to the standard SPI interface

Disadvantages: - Limited storage capacity (1 Kbit) - Slower write speed compared to other non-volatile memory technologies

Working Principles

The 25LC010AT-I/MS uses a floating gate transistor technology to store data. When data is written, an electric charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the transistor's behavior. This alteration can be detected during read operations, allowing the stored data to be retrieved.

Application Field Plans

The 25LC010AT-I/MS is widely used in various electronic devices, including but not limited to: - Consumer electronics (e.g., TVs, set-top boxes, remote controls) - Automotive electronics (e.g., engine control units, infotainment systems) - Industrial equipment (e.g., sensors, control systems) - Medical devices (e.g., patient monitors, diagnostic equipment)

Alternative Models

• 25LC020AT-I/MS: 2 Kbit serial EEPROM
• 25LC040AT-I/MS: 4 Kbit serial EEPROM
• 25LC080AT-I/MS: 8 Kbit serial EEPROM
• 25LC160AT-I/MS: 16 Kbit serial EEPROM

These alternative models offer higher storage capacities while maintaining similar characteristics and pin configurations.
