I2CTM Eeprom devices
Microchip has introduced the I2CTM Eeprom devices, featuring the lowest available operating voltage.
The 24VLXX series of devices has an operating voltage down to 1.5V for read and write operations, with a low operating current of less than 400uA.
These 1kbit and 2kbit Eeprom devices support two different write-protect features; the 24VL014, 24VL024 and 24VL025 can be ordered with a full-array write protect.
The 24VL014H and 24VL024H devices support a half-array write protect.
The Eeproms feature an operating frequency of 100kHz at 1.5V, allowing them to operate in portable and handheld applications with low voltages, reducing power consumption and making the battery last longer.
Along with the previously announced 34AA02, 34LC02 and 34VL02 (34XX02) low voltage Eeprom devices, the new 24VLXX devices provide another option for designers looking to maximise battery life in their applications.
These Eeprom devices are supported by the MPLAB Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products (part number DV243003).
The kit includes the MPLAB Starter Kit for serial memory products board, a serial Eeprom starter pack, a USB cable and a CD containing the MPLAB IDE, Total Endurance software model and a serial Eeprom interface tool.
