EEPROM shrinks to tiny 5-pin package
Novel technology allows the CAT24C00 128-bit serial EEPROM to be packaged in a compact, 5-pin SOT23 package that requires 40% less PCB area than an MSOP.

Digitally programmable potentiometers to take over
Catalyst Semiconductor has added two new digitally programmable potentiometer (DPP) ICs to its AE2 (analogue EEPROM) mixed-signal product line.
An electronic serial number or traceability information is easily stored in the nonvolatile 128bit CAT24C00.
Recording product flow traceability information or an ID number requires a few bits of data.
In the past, 1-2Kbit EEPROMs have been used for ID applications, but these require larger packages than the CAT24C00.
The low power CAT24C00 operates from 1.8 to 5.5V with standby current under 0.9uA.
Data are transferred over a high-speed 400kHz I2C serial bus.
The CAT24C00 EEPROM is organised as 16 x 8bit.
Able to support 1-million program/erase cycles and 100-year data retention, the CAT24C00 is ideal for serial number, ID tag, smart-sensor setup and system initialisation applications.
The CAT24C00 is offered in 8-pin DIP, TSSOP and SO packages as well as an area saving 5-lead SOT-23 package.
Automotive, extended automotive and industrial temperature range devices are offered.
Lead-free, halogen-free packages are also available as an option.
Prices start at $0.13 in 10,000 piece quantities.
Samples are available now.
Production is scheduled for June 2003.
