24AA16/W15K

The 24AA16/W15K is a 16 Kbit (2048 x 8) serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). It is available with a range of operating voltages, packages and access times. This particular EEPROM works with a wide range of applications making it an ideal choice for many embedded systems. It is used as a replacement for slow and power-hungry parallel EEPROMs and Flash memories.

The 24AA16/W15K offers 32 blocks of 64 x 8 bits of user memory. Its quick programming time and robust operation make it the perfect choice for applications such as device configuration, security codes and other data that can be quickly programmed and stored. It offers a variety of access times ranging from 2.5 ms to 35 ms, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

The 24AA16/W15K uses non-volatile Electronically Programmable Read-only Memory (EEPROM) technology. It offers a higher density of information storage compared to older serial EEPROMs. It also provides faster write, chip erasing and power-on capability. The memory cell size is of 32 bits, which is suitable for embedded systems.

The 24AA16/W15K supports a wide range of operating voltages and packages. It is available in a range of Industrial, Extended and Automotive temperature grade packages. The standard Industrial temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. Its Automotive grade version, however, is qualified to -60°C to +125°C. The use of this EEPROM is also guaranteed in harsh environmental conditions.

The EEPROM operates on either 1.8V or 4.5-5.5V. It also supports a low current mode which helps reduce power consumption. The low current mode is active when the device is in standby. No voltage is applied to the chip and the EEPROM supports to write/erase operation. The speed of the device is controlled through software.

The 24AA16/W15K also offers a number of supporting features such as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection upto 4kV and protects against unwanted writes in non-volatile memory. It also supports write protect bits for an increased data security. It has the ability to suspend and erase operations and can also perform up to eight sequential writes on each cell.

The 24AA16/W15K is ideal for applications such as data logging, medical and environmental applications, embedded device configuration and personal identification management. It also features a built-in CRC check to ensure data integrity. The EEPROM is also suitable for networks, panels, keyboards and game controllers.

In summary, the 24AA16/W15K is a versatile EEPROM suitable for a variety of applications. Its wide range of operating voltages, packages and access times make it the ideal choice for embedded devices. It offers improved performance with higher data density and faster programming time. Additional features such as ESD protect and write protect allow for increased data security. This EEPROM is ideal for data logging and embedded device configuration.
