Microchip EERAM 16kB, 47C16-I/P, DIP, Through-Hole, 1MHz, 8-Pin, Synchronous SRAM with EEPROM Backup

Microchip 47C16-I/P EERAM offers a versatile 16kB memory solution combining SRAM and EEPROM in a single unit, formatted for robust industrial, electronic, and embedded applications. This device is designed to eliminate the need for an external battery to retain data thanks to its EEPROM backup functionality, ensuring non-volatile storage.

Configured as 2048k x 8 bits, this EERAM supports infinite read and write cycles to the SRAM, while its EEPROM cells provide high endurance, non-volatile storage for critical data. With an external capacitor, SRAM contents are automatically transferred to EEPROM upon power loss, and recalled to the SRAM array on power-up, safeguarding data integrity during sudden shutdowns.

The 47C16-I/P enables manual store operations via hardware store pins and software commands, offering flexibility for system designers. Store time is capped at 40ms maximum, ensuring speedy data retention. The device operates on a supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V, with a maximum supply current of 300.4mA. It features a synchronous timing interface, supporting a maximum clock frequency of 1MHz, and achieves random access times as low as 400ns.

Physically, the EERAM is housed in a DIP through-hole package, facilitating straightforward PCB assembly and maintenance, with an 8-pin layout. Its compact dimensions of 10.2mm length, 7.1mm width, and 4.83mm height allow integration in tight spaces. The operating temperature range stretches from -40°C to 85°C, meeting requirements for industrial and laboratory environments.

This Microchip memory component is ideal for industrial automation, embedded systems, laboratory controls, manufacturing equipment, and any application requiring reliable, non-volatile memory retention and rapid data access. Its built-in backup and recall mechanisms, high endurance, and ease of assembly make it a top choice for engineers and system integrators.
