EEPROM provides more secure MPU supervision
Catalyst Semiconductor has expanded its AE2 analogue EEPROM mixed-signal product strategy with the CAT116x series of microprocessor supervisory circuits with serial 16Kbit EEPROM.
"Based on customer feedback and the requirement for RoHS-compliant products, we found strong market demand for serial EEPROMs with a broader range of operating voltage at the higher performance access speed of 400kHz".
"In addition we added NiPdAu lead frames which meet all RoHS lead-free requirements".
"These new packages can also be used for older board designs not requiring 100% lead-free content so the new device family can replace multiple versions of the older I2C products to give our customers a more streamlined product offering which in the long run will help reduce cost", said Gary Craig, Product Marketing Manager.
"Products being introduced include 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256Kbit serial EEPROMs with all 'green and gold' packages", he concluded.
The CAT24Cxxx devices are built with Catalyst Semiconductor's high quality, CMOS EEPROM process.
Memory interface is through a high-speed, 400kHz, I2C serial bus.
All devices operate over the 1.8 to 5.5V, Industrial temperature range.
The CAT24Cxxx family is offered in 8-lead PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP and TDFN.
Other package options are available on request.
