Overview
The CAT25020VI-GT3D is a 2-Kb SPI Serial EEPROM device produced 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 is enabled through a Chip Select (CS) input, along with required bus signals such as clock input (SCK), data input (SI), and data output (SO) lines. The device also features a HOLD input to pause any serial communication and includes both software and hardware write protection mechanisms.
