4Kbit SPI EEPROM for parameter storage
The Microchip 25LC040T/SN is a 4Kbit serial EEPROM with an SPI interface, organized as 512 x 8 bytes. It runs at a 2 MHz clock rate and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it a drop-in fit for both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller designs. The 5ms write cycle time is typical for this density class — firmware needs to poll the write-in-progress bit or insert a delay after each page write.
Active lifecycle, ROHS3 compliant
The 8-SOIC package is widely stocked across distribution, and the Tape & Reel suffix (T/SN) indicates reeled delivery for automated assembly.
