 AT45DB041E-SSHN-T schematic symbol |
In the past few decades, the electronics and communication technology has seen unparalleled growth and advancement. From simplistic analog devices of the 80s to the smart digital gadgets of today, memory chips have always been an integral part of the electronic circuits. No digital computing system can function without these memory chips. There are different types and categories of memory chips used in the electronic circuits. One of the most widely used memory type is the flash EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The flash memory chips are very widely used in computers and reprogrammable embedded systems. The flash EEPROMs use serial interfaces like SPI and I2C for reading/writing of data. Most of the modern microcontrollers and SOCs have flash memory built into the same device package. The option of erasing and rewriting the flash memory makes them very attractive for circuit designers.
What is AT45DB041E-SSHN-T？
The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T is a serial-interface sequential-access flash memory from Adesto Technologies. This general purpose flash memory can be used in a wide range of applications including audio systems, image processing systems, data storage devices, computing devices, and embedded systems. The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T also support RapidS serial interface for very high data transmission rates. The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T flash memory chip contains 2048 pages of 256 bytes each. Apart from the main memory, the chip also includes 2 x 256 byte SRAM buffers. These buffers allow continuous data streaming during the reprogramming and can also be used as additional scratch-pad memory. This flash memory uses sequential access which significantly reduces the pin count, minimizes noise, reduces package size and increases reliability. The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T is suitable for applications which require high-density, low pin-count and low power consumption.
