25LC256-E

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · SOIC-8

25LC256-E 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, a high level deselects it and forces Standby mode, and SO goes high-impedance when deselected.
2 SO tri_state Serial Data Output: data is shifted out after the falling edge of the serial clock, and the pin is high-impedance when the device is deselected or HOLD is low.
3 WP input Write-Protect: when low and WPEN is set, writes to the nonvolatile bits of the STATUS register are disabled; when high all functions operate normally.
4 VSS power_in Ground.
5 SI input Serial Data Input: receives instructions, addresses and data, latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.
6 SCK input Serial Clock Input: synchronizes communication, with SI latched on the rising edge and SO updated after the falling edge; maximum clock 10 MHz.
7 HOLD input Hold Input: pulling it low (while SCK is low) pauses serial communication without resetting the sequence, and it must be held high when not in use.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage; 25LC256 range is 2.5V-5.5V, absolute maximum 6.5V.
