25C160-I

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered MCUs · SOIC-8

25C160-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS input Chip select input: a low level selects the device, and a high level deselects it and forces it into Standby mode, though a programming cycle already in progress completes regardless of CS.
2 SO tri_state Serial data output: data shifts out after the falling edge of SCK during a read, and SO goes to the high-impedance state when the device is deselected.
3 WP input Write-protect input: together with the WPEN Status register bit, a low level on WP disables writes to the nonvolatile Status register bits, and the WP function is blocked when WPEN is low.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 SI input Serial data input: receives instructions, addresses and data, which are latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.
6 SCK input Serial clock input: SI is latched on the rising edge of SCK and SO is updated after the falling edge of SCK.
7 HOLD input Hold input: must be held high when not in use; pulling it low while SCK is low pauses serial communication and tri-states SO, and it must be returned high while SCK is low to resume.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage: the 25C160 is specified for 4.5V to 5.5V operation.
