Working Principle

The 25LC040A-M/SN memory operates on the principle of floating gate field effect transistors (FETs). The EEPROM uses floating gate transistors on a silicon substrate to store data. The floating gates of the transistors are charged or discharged with DC electrical pulses, enabling the memory to store data. When the memory is programmed, electrons are injected into the gates through a voltage pulse, thus creating a logical 1. Conversely, when the gates are discharged, a logical 0 is stored. The 25LC040A-M/SN can retain data for a minimum of 10 years, and has been proven to withstand at least one million write cycles.

Performance

The 25LC040A-M/SN supports both read and write operations, with a maximum write speed of 8.6µs per byte. The memory is designed for low power operation, and requires minimal external components. It is also pin-compatible with the 2Kb and 4Kb devices in the MicrowireTM family, making it an ideal choice for designs that require interchangeability between the two sizes.

The 25LC040A-M/SN has been tested to work within a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C. It also offers high levels of reliability and robustness in challenging applications, ensuring reliable operation in the most demanding of conditions.

Conclusion

The 25LC040A-M/SN is an ideal choice for applications that require serial non-volatile memory for storing data and/or program code. It offers a wide range of features, including a wide operating voltage range, high endurance, 3V/5V compatibility, and a maximum write speed of 8.6µs per byte.
