Description
Looking for the optimum non-volatile memory product for your system that requires a small footprint, byte level flexibility, low power, and is highly cost effective? Serial EEPROM technology is one of the non-volatile memory technologies that has emerged as a leading embedded control solution. Unfortunately, most system designers are not aware of the serial EEPROM benefits. Also, the supporting documentation in databooks is most often not adequate due to incomplete or ambiguous information. As a result, the system designer often selects a non-volatile solution that does not meet his requirements, or, the designer must face a more complicated design-in with a serial EEPROM.
