With 4Mbit capacity, these EEPROM memories enable small devices to capture and store more data through the serial SPI bus. This means that equipment such as smart meters are able to intensify data logging for managing grids more effectively and providing more user-friendly billing.
Also, portable medical devices can log patients’ data more intensively to improve care quality, and consumer devices such as smart wearables can support more user features and greater precision.
In these applications, the memory’s low power consumption helps extend battery runtime. A wide range of applications in industrial controls and communication infrastructure such as network switches can also benefit from these higher density memories.
“ST is recognized as a leader in serial EEPROM chips, which are widely used across consumer, industrial, and automotive applications, and we continue to drive technical innovation,” claimed Benoit Rodrigues, Memory Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics. “The market’s first 4Mbit EEPROM devices are produced in our own CMOS technology, which is now qualified at 110nm as the most advanced in the industry for EEPROMs.”
ST’s M95M04 EEPROM memories extend the company's wide portfolio/ Capable of writing 512 Bytes in 5ms, these new devices enable fast system operation with low latency.
