Overview
The CAT25160YI-GT3 is a Serial 16-Kb SPI EEPROM device manufactured by onsemi. It is internally organized as 2048x8 bits and features a 32-byte page write buffer. The device supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol and is enabled through a Chip Select (CS) input. It also includes a clock input (SCK), data input (SI), and data output (SO) lines. Additionally, a HOLD input can be used to pause any serial communication. The device is designed with both software and hardware write protection, including partial and full array protection.
