Narrow package boosts serial EEPROM
density
SPI serial EEPROM provides 1Mbit density in a choice of wide or narrow SO8 packages.
STMicroelectronics reckons its latest SPI serial EEPROM is the first such device to squeeze 1Mbit density into a tiny 3.8mm-wide SO8N package Also offered in the wider SO8W, the new M95M01 is intended for the storage of fast-changing parameter data in consumer electronics products such as digital TVs, DVD players and gaming, as well as in medical equipment, industrial, car infotainment and computer peripherals

Single-chip tuner cuts set-top box parts count
The STB6000 single-chip silicon tuner is designed to replace complex discrete component tuners in set-top boxes used for receiving digital TV or web-based material via satellite.
ST's SPI EEPROM family now offers 1Kbit to 1Mbit devices - the broadest portfolio on the market.
The M95M01 is organised as 128K x 8bit, and supports byte and page write modes with a fast write time of 256byte in less than 5ms (less than 13us/byte typical).
The chips are specified to retain data for more than 40 years, and offer write endurance of more than 1 million write cycles.
The operating temperature range for these serial EEPROMs is -40 to +85C, and the memory operates over a wide 1.8 to 5.5V supply-voltage range for maximum flexibility.
The very small size of the SO8N package, coupled with its fast SPI interface, will offer new opportunities for manufacturers of digital TV sets, DVD players and medical technology to reduce the board space required in their applications, while increasing the amount of fast access memory available for setup parameters, tuning information, user preferences and other data.
The M95M01 is available now in sample quantities, in both the SO8N and SO8W RoHS-compliant packages, with volume production planned for July 2007.
Pricing for the M95M01 in volume is US $1.50.
