The 25LC160/P is a 16K-bit Serial EEPROM manufactured by Microchip. This IC provides nonvolatile memory storage with an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It has an operating voltage of 1.8 to 5.5V and a wide temperature range of -40C to +85C. It offers an unlimited write/erase endurance and data retention of up to 100 years. The part also has write protect and hardware/software write protect features to prevent accidental overwrites. These features allow for flexible data protection schemes. It has a low power consumption, fast write cycles, and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliant for automotive applications. The 25LC160/P is an ideal solution for adding nonvolatile memory to most applications.
