Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. 25AA160A/B,
25LC160A/B (25XX160A/B
*
) are 16 Kbit Serial
Electrically Erasable PROMs. The memory is accessed
via a simple Serial Peripheral Interface™ (SPI™)
compatible serial bus. The bus signals required are a
clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI) and data
out (SO) lines. Access to the device is controlled
through a Chip Select (CS) input.
Communication to the device can be paused via the
hold pin (HOLD). While the device is paused, transi-
tions on its inputs will be ignored, with the exception of
chip select, allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts.
The 25XX160A/B is available in standard packages
including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced
packaging including 8-lead MSOP, and 8-lead TSSOP.
Pb-free (Pure Matte Sn) finish is also available.

NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for an
