CAT25160VI-GT3

onsemi · EEPROM · SOIC-8

CAT25160VI-GT3 from onsemi, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS input Active-low chip select. Every SPI transaction must begin with a high-to-low transition and end with a low-to-high transition on CS. When CS is high, SO is tri-stated and the device enters standby mode (unless an internal write is in progress). VIL = -0.5 V to 0.3VCC, VIH = 0.7VCC to VCC+0.5 V.
2 SO output Serial data output. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of SCK in SPI modes (0,0) and (1,1). High-impedance when CS is high or during a HOLD condition. Drives VOL = 0.4 V @ 3 mA (VCC>2.5 V) and VOH = VCC-0.8 V @ -1.6 mA.
3 WP input Active-low write protect. When WP is held low and the WPEN bit in the Status Register is set to '1', writes to the Status Register are disabled, providing hardware write protection. Tie high to allow normal write operations.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device (0 V).
5 SI input Serial data input. Accepts op-codes, addresses, and data. Data is latched on the rising edge of SCK in SPI modes (0,0) and (1,1).
6 SCK input Serial clock input from the SPI host. Synchronizes data transfer on SI and SO. Supports DC to 20 MHz operation at VCC = 4.5-5.5 V (10 MHz at 2.5-5.5 V, 5 MHz at 1.8-5.5 V).
7 HOLD input Active-low hold input used to pause SPI communication without retransmitting the sequence. To pause, drive HOLD low while SCK is low; to resume, drive HOLD high while SCK is low. When not used, tie to VCC directly or via a pull-up resistor.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply, 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Typical supply current is 2 mA during read/write at 10 MHz; standby current is ~2 uA (WP=VCC) or 4-5 uA (WP=GND).
