25LC128-I

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · SOIC-8

25LC128-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: a low level selects the device, a high level deselects it and forces it into Standby mode, and a low level is required after power-up before any sequence can start.
2 SO tri_state Serial Data Output: data are shifted out after the falling edge of SCK during a read, and the pin goes to high-impedance when the device is deselected or HOLD is pulled low.
3 WP input Write-Protect: together with the WPEN bit it blocks writes to the nonvolatile STATUS register bits when WP is low and WPEN is high, and the pin has no effect while 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 SCK.
6 SCK input Serial Clock Input: synchronizes communication, with SI latched on the rising edge and SO updated after the falling edge.
7 HOLD input Hold Input: must be held high when unused, and pulling it low while SCK is low pauses serial communication without resetting the sequence while the device stays selected.
8 VCC power_in Supply Voltage: the 25LC128 is specified for 2.5V to 5.5V operation.
