AT25256B-XHL-T

Microchip Tech · EEPROM · TSSOP-8

AT25256B-XHL-T from Microchip Tech, in a TSSOP-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 The device is selected when CS is low, and when deselected SI is ignored and SO stays in high-impedance; a pull-up to VCC of 10 kΩ or less is recommended, with a low level required on CS before any sequence starts after power-up.
2 SO output Serial Data Output transfers read data out of the device, shifting it after the falling edge of SCK, and is high-impedance when the device is not selected.
3 WP input Write-Protect allows normal read/write operation when high, and when driven low with WPEN set to 1 it inhibits all writes to the STATUS register; it should be driven high or low as appropriate.
4 GND power_in Ground is the ground reference for the device power supply and should be connected to system ground.
5 SI input Serial Data Input receives instructions, addresses and data, latched on the rising edge of SCK, and is ignored while HOLD is asserted.
6 SCK input Serial Data Clock synchronizes communication with the master, latching SI on the rising edge and clocking SO out on the falling edge.
7 HOLD input Suspend Serial Input pauses serial communication when driven low while SCK is low, during which SO is high-impedance and SI and SCK are ignored; it should be driven high or low as appropriate.
8 VCC power_in Device Power Supply supplies the source voltage, which operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, and operation at invalid VCC voltages may produce spurious results.
