Product Overview
The Microchip AT25512-TH-B is a 512Kb SPI Serial EEPROM organized as 64K x 8, housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package. Operating from 1.8V to 5.5V with a 20MHz maximum clock frequency, it supports SPI modes 0 and 3. The device features block write protection (1/4, 1/2, or entire array), hardware write protect pin, self-timed write cycles (5ms max), 1 million erase/write cycle endurance, and 100-year data retention over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
