25LC256T-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOP-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 a low-to-high transition after a valid write sequence starts the internal write cycle. |
| 2 | SO | tri_state | Serial Data Output: data is shifted out after the falling edge of the serial clock, and the pin goes high-impedance when the device is deselected or HOLD is low. |
| 3 | WP | input | Write-Protect pin: when low and the WPEN bit is high, writes to the nonvolatile bits of the STATUS register are disabled, and the function is blocked when WPEN is low. |
| 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 (max. 10 MHz): synchronizes communication, with SI latched on the rising edge and SO updated after the falling edge. |
| 7 | HOLD | input | Hold input: pulled low (while SCK is low) to pause serial communication without deselecting the device, and must be held high when not used. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage: 2.5V to 5.5V for the 25LC256, with an absolute maximum of 6.5V. |
