2-Mb serial EEPROM in SO8N package for
storing large size code
STMicroelectronics has launched a new 2-Mbit serial EEPROM
chip for write-intensive applications. The new IC replaces
multiple EEPROMs with a single device for consumer and industrial
applications, such as TVs and monitors, flat panels, set-top
boxes, printers, smart meters, and also equipment used in
medical applications.
The M95M02 provides high-density storage in the same package
outline as lower density alternatives. It also has the same
connections and an industry-standard SPI high-speed serial
interface, allowing use as a direct replacement or upgrade
in established system designs. It can be operated at a low
voltage of 1.8V and has a standby mode drawing less than
5uA, making it ideal for use in low-power or battery-operated
equipment. Additionally, the SPI interface enables fast
communication at up to 5MHz at 2.5V. A second new 2-Mbit
device, the M24M02, communicates via an industry-standard
I2C high-speed interface, operating up to 1MHz.
Package: SO8N package
Availability: The 2-Mbit density M95M02 and M24M02
in the SO8N package are sampling now to lead customers,
and will be orderable from April 2011 at $1.80 for 1000
units. Alternative pricing options are available for larger
quantities.
