ON Semiconductor CAT1163P28 - EEPROM with Serial I²C Interface

The CAT1163P28 is a high-performance EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This device is designed to provide a reliable and efficient non-volatile memory storage solution for a wide range of applications. The CAT1163P28 offers a 16-Kb (2K x 8) memory capacity and operates with a serial I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus interface, which ensures easy integration with most microcontroller units (MCUs).

This EEPROM device is ideal for applications that require data storage that must be preserved during power loss, such as configuration settings, calibration data, and user preferences. It operates over a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it versatile for various low-power and standard applications. The CAT1163P28 also features a write protect pin to prevent unintended writes, enhancing data integrity and security.

The CAT1163P28 supports a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz, allowing for rapid data transfer and swift write cycles. Additionally, it has a self-timed write cycle with auto-erase, ensuring a simple and effective write operation. The device also includes a hardware and software write protection feature to prevent accidental data corruption.
