PCF8598C-2

General description

The PCF8598C-2 is a floating gate Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) with 8 kbits (1024 x 8-bit) non-volatile storage. By using an internal redundant storage code, it is fault tolerant to single bit errors. This feature dramatically increases the reliability compared to conventional EEPROMs. Power consumption is low due to the full CMOS technology used. The programming voltage is generated on-chip, using a voltage multiplier.

Data bytes are received and transmitted via the serial I²C-bus. Up to two PCF8598C-2 devices may be connected to the I²C-bus. Chip select is accomplished by one address input (A2).

Timing of the E/W cycle is carried out internally, thus no external components are required. Programming Time Control (PTC), Pin 7, must be connected to either VDD or left open-circuit. There is an option of using an external clock for timing the length of an E/W cycle.

Features

• Low power CMOS:
• 2.0 mA maximum operating current
• maximum standby current 10 uA (at 6.0 V), typical 4 uA
• Non-volatile storage of 8 kbits organized as 1024 x 8-bit
• Single supply with full operation down to 2.5 V
• On-chip voltage multiplier
• Serial input/output I²C-bus
• Write operations:
• byte write mode
• 8-byte page write mode (minimizes total write time per byte)
• Read operations:
• sequential read
• random read
• Internal timer for writing (no external components)
• Internal power-on reset
• 0 kHz to 100 kHz clock frequency
• High reliability by using a redundant storage code
• Endurance: 1,000,000 Erase/Write (E/W) cycles at T_amb = 22 Cel
• 10 years non-volatile data retention time
