Overview
The onsemi CAT25160VI-GT3 is a 16 Kbit (2K x 8) Serial CMOS EEPROM that operates using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. This device is part of the CAT25160 series and is designed for a wide range of applications, including automotive, communications, computer, consumer, and industrial systems. It features a Chip Select (CS) input, a clock input (SCK), data input (SI), and data output (SO) lines, along with a HOLD input to pause serial communication. The CAT25160VI-GT3 is known for its low power CMOS technology, high data retention, and robust write protection mechanisms.
