STMicroelectronics Extends Serial EEPROM Range with 1MHz Devices in Densities up to 1Mb

(Product News, 7 Jul 2008)

STMicroelectronics has introduced 1MHz two-wire serial EEPROMs in 256kb, 512kb and 1Mb densities. Compatible with I2C Fast-Mode-Plus, the devices allow data rates up to 2.5-times faster than the I2C Fast-mode. Operating at 1MHz, the M24M01-HR is able to complete a 1Mb data transaction in 1s; the 256kb M24256-BHR in 0.25s; and the 512kb M24512-HR in 0.5s.

The two-wire serial EEPROM supports multiple access modes, including byte-write mode as well as 64, 128 and 256-byte page-write modes, random and sequential read modes, automatic address incrementing. As well as easing design in, these modes help engineers optimize system performance and power consumption. A write-control input is provided, while three chip-enable pins allow up to eight devices on a single bus. Also aiding design-in for low-voltage or standard-voltage systems, all three densities are available in variants operating from 1.8V to 5.5V or 2.5V to 5.5V.

Low package heights of 1.2mm and 1.75mm respectively, allow use in low-profile consumer products such as digital TVs. All packages use ST's ECOPACK technology, which meets international green packaging codes including the EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements.
