Microchip 25AA256-I/P, 256 kB EEPROM, 50 ns 8-Pin SOIC Serial-SPI

Microchip 25AA256-I/P are 256 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROMs. The memory is accessed via a simple Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus. The bus signals required are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI) and data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is controlled through a Chip Select (CS) input. Communication to the device can be paused via the hold pin (HOLD).
