Low-voltage EEPROMs

18 March 2009 DSP, Micros & Memory

New from Microchip is a series of I²C EEPROM devices with an operating voltage down to 1,5 V for both read and write operations, and a very low operating current of less than 400 μA. These 1 Kbit and 2 Kbit devices support two different write-protect features: the 24VL014, 24VL024 and 24VL025 can be ordered with a full-array write protect, while the 24VL014H and 24VL024H support a half-array write protect. With an operating frequency of 100 kHz, the EEPROMs can operate in portable and handheld applications with very low voltages, thus reducing power consumption and extending battery life. The devices are supported by the MPLAB starter kit for serial memory products, which includes a board, a serial EEPROM starter pack, a USB cable and a CD containing the MPLAB IDE.
