What are the main features of the X2816CEI-20?
The X2816CEI-20 is a 16Kbit EEPROM with a fast 90ns access time, supporting both byte and 16-byte page write operations. It operates from a single 5V supply, requires no external high-voltage programming, and uses self-timed write cycles. The device offers high reliability with up to 10,000 write cycles and long data retention of up to 100 years.
What is the X2816CEI-20 used for?
This EEPROM is commonly used for non-volatile data storage in industrial controls, automotive electronics, communication equipment, and embedded systems where fast access and dependable data retention are required.
Are there alternative parts available?
Yes, alternative EEPROMs with similar capacity and interface are available from manufacturers such as Microchip, Atmel (Microchip), and STMicroelectronics, though pin compatibility and timing characteristics should be carefully checked before replacement.
