Microchip says that its new 512 Kb I2C compatible serial EEPROMs are the first to be available in an 8-pad dual flat no-lead package. The 6 x 5 x 0,9 mm DFN packages are ideal for low-headroom applications, reducing cost and increasing available board space.
The 24LC512, 24AA512, and 24FC512 devices use Microchip's advanced PMOS electrically erasable cell process technology to produce high-density, low-power EEPROMs in one of the thinnest packages available. PEEC process technology also ensures reliability, achieving more than 200 years data retention and 1 000 000 erase/write cycles at 85°C. Users of its 128 Kb or 256 Kb EEPROMs can use these higher-density EEPROMs while retaining the same footprint, says the company. Additional packages include an 8-lead PDIP, 8-lead SOIC and 14-pin TSSOP.
The devices have a page-write capability of up to 128 bytes and can perform random reads throughout the entire array. Functional address lines allow up to eight devices on the same bus for a maximum of 4 Mb total address space. Additional features include a fast write time of 5 ms, a clock rate of 400 kHz throughout the operating voltage of 2,5 V-5,5 V and temperature range of -40 to +85°C. The 24FC512 can operate at a bus speed of 1 MHz and the 24 AA512 has an operating voltage of 1,8 V-5,5 V.

Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.
