With 34 new part numbers from 2 to 512Kb in a choice of SO8N or TSSOP pin-compatible packages, the M24 (I2C) and M95 (SPI) series enable equipment used in challenging thermal conditions to benefit from enhanced-reliability devices.
Typical applications include advanced industrial controls and networking equipment, smart-lighting systems, smart power switches, computer servers and wireless communication modules for harsh environments. ST’s proprietary EEPROM process technology and compact surface-mount packages also help engineers address system size, weight and cost challenges.
Rapid, 4ms write time and support for clock frequencies up to 20MHz make these devices suitable where high-speed parameter storage and rapid data exchange is needed. Up to 4M write/erase cycles are supported. Designers can also leverage a built-in device identification code for traceability and a write-lockable page for securing sensitive data like serial numbers, identifiers or traceability information.
All 34 Industrial-Plus EEPROMs are in production now and samples are available in all densities, package configurations and bus-interface options. Pricing is from $0.09 for 2Kb M24C02-DRE devices in either SO8N or TSSOP8 packages, in quantities of 1000 units.
