EEPROMs are made for latest DIMM modules
Serial Presence Detect EEPROM devices support the latest DDR2 DIMM modules as well as future DDR3 DIMM modules.
Microchip Technology has developed a series of Serial Presence Detect (SPD) EEPROM devices that support the latest DDR2 DIMM modules used in today's high-speed PCs, as well as future DDR3 DIMM modules The 34AA02, 34LC02 and 34VL02 (34XX02) devices meet the latest JEDEC standard for SPD EEPROM devices, with the 34VL02 supporting the lowest operating voltage range of any SPD EEPROM in the industry (1.5 to 3.6V)

Microchip has announced the world's first serial EEPROM supporting the Advanced Communications Riser Special Interest Group (ACR SIG) specification.
Easy interfacing to faster microcontrollers
Microchip has added two new devices to its PIC16C92X family of 8bit one-time-programmable microcontrollers with integrated liquid-crystal display controller.
All the EEPROMs are available in JEDEC-standard packages and are the only SPD EEPROMs available in the popular 6-pin SOT-23 package.
When combined with the already-announced MCP9805 memory module digital temperature sensor and MCP98242 temperature sensor with SPD EEPROM, the 34XX02 devices mean Microchip now provides a complete family of devices for the SPD and temperature needs of DRAM manufacturers.
For years, Microchip has manufactured the 24AA52 and 24LCS52 SPD EEPROM devices to meet DDR1 requirements.

Flash microcontrollers run up to 10MIPS
Microchip's new PIC18F010 and PIC18F020 Flash microcontrollers offer an industry-leading performance of 10MIPS, 4Kbyte of program memory, 256byte of user RAM and 64byte of EEPROM.
The next-generation 34XX02 devices are designed to meet the JEDEC standard for newer DDR2 and future DDR3 modules, while also supporting the older DDR1 requirements.
Because of their low operating-voltage ranges of 1.7 to 5.5V for the 34AA02, 2.5 to 5.5V for the 34LC02, and 1.5 to 3.6V for the 34VL02, the devices can be designed into current and future PCs that use low-voltage battery designs.
"Microchip is pleased to announce our new SPD EEPROM devices for DDR2 and DDR3 DIMM modules".
"With the ability to operate at very low voltages, we are now positioned to meet the market needs of the future", says Randy Drwinga, Vice President of Microchip's Memory Products Division.
"With availability in all JEDEC-standard packages and the only SPD EEPROM available in the 6-pin SOT-23 package, we expect these devices to enable new features and applications in the high-speed PC and laptop markets".
All the new EEPROM devices are available in 8-pin TSSOP, 2 x 3mm TDFN and MSOP packages, as well as 6-pin SOT-23 packages.
The 34AA02 and 34LC02 devices are priced at US $0.11 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the TSSOP and SOT-23 packages; $0.12 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the MSOP package, and $0.13 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the TDFN package.
Prices for the low-voltage 34VL02 devices are US $0.10 higher in each of these packages: $0.21 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the TSSOP and SOT-23 packages; $0.22 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the MSOP package, and $0.23 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the TDFN package.
