Functions and Features
Self-timed erase/write cycle: 5ms max.
Data retention: more than 100 years.
Hardware Write Protect Pin: Write protect function is provided, when WP pin is high, the memory enters into write protect state and can only be read but not written.
Temperature range: Multiple temperature grades are available to meet different application requirements, such as -40°C to 125°C for Grade 1, -40°C to 105°C for Grade 2, and -40°C to 85°C for Grade 3.
AEC-Q100 certification: Indicates that the device meets the reliability standards for automotive electronic components for use in automotive applications.
Applications and Benefits
Automotive applications: The device‘s low-power, low-voltage operation makes it ideal for automotive electronic control systems such as engine control units and body control modules.
Space-saving: The use of small 8-pin IC packages helps to save board space and reduce system costs.
Long Life and Reliability: Over 100 years of data retention time and over 1 million erase/write cycles ensure that the device maintains high performance and reliability in long-term use.
