Description
The AT25128A/256A provides 131,072/262,144 bits of serial electrically-erasable pro-
grammable read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 16,384/32,768 words of 8 bits
each. The device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications
where low-power and low-voltage operation are essential. The devices are available in
space saving 8-lead PDIP, 8-lead JEDEC SOIC and 8-lead EIAJ SOIC (AT25256A)
packages. In addition, the entire family is available in 5.0V (4.5V to 5.5V) and 2.7V
(2.7V to 5.5V) versions.
