Overview
The CAT25020VI-GT3 is a 2-Kb Serial SPI EEPROM device manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This device is internally organized as 256x8 bits and utilizes advanced CMOS technology to significantly reduce power requirements. It supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol and features a 16-byte page write buffer. The device is enabled through a Chip Select (CS) input and includes bus signals such as clock input (SCK), data input (SI), and data output (SO) lines. Additionally, a HOLD input can be used to pause any serial communication with the device. The CAT25020VI-GT3 includes both software and hardware write protection, allowing for partial or full array protection.
