25LC040AT-E

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · SOT-23-6

25LC040AT-E from Microchip Tech, in a SOT-23-6. 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 SCK input Serial clock input; SI is latched on its rising edge and SO is updated after its falling edge.
2 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device.
3 SI input Serial data input that receives instructions, addresses and data, latched on the rising edge of SCK.
4 SO output Serial data output; data shifts out after the falling edge of SCK, and SO goes to high-impedance when the device is deselected.
5 CS input Chip Select input; low selects the device, high deselects it and forces Standby mode, and a low-to-high transition after a valid write sequence starts the internal write cycle.
6 VCC power_in Supply voltage; 2.5V to 5.5V for the 25LC040A (Industrial and Automotive ranges), per the device selection table.
