64 Kbit SPI EEPROM in an 8-pin DIP — what you get
The Microchip 25LC640-I/P is a 64 Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 8K x 8 bits, accessed over an SPI bus at up to 2 MHz. It's packaged in an 8-lead PDIP (0.300" body), through-hole mount, so it fits sockets or hand-soldered prototypes without reflow. Write-cycle time is 5 ms per byte or per page, which is typical for this density tier. If you're logging configuration data or calibration constants, budget for that page-write latency in your firmware loop.
