Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA1024/25LC1024
(25XX1024
*
) is a 1024 Kbit serial EEPROM memory
with byte-level and page-level serial EEPROM func-
tions. It also features Page, Sector and Chip erase
functions typically associated with Flash-based prod-
ucts. These functions are not required for byte or page
write operations. The memory is accessed via a simple
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus.
The bus signals required are a clock input (SCK) plus
separate data in (SI) and data out (SO) lines. Access to
the device is controlled by a Chip Select (CS) input.
Communication to the device can be paused via the
hold pin (HOLD). While the device is paused, transi-
tions on its inputs will be ignored, with the exception of
Chip Select, allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts.
The 25XX1024 is available in standard packages
including 8-lead PDIP and SOIJ, and advanced 8-lead
DFN package. All devices are Pb-free.

NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for an
extended period of time may affect device reliability.
