The CAT28LV65 is a low voltage, low power, CMOS Parallel EEPROM organized as 8K x 8−bits. It requires a simple interface for in−system programming. On−chip address and data latches, self−timed write cycle with auto−clear and VCC power up/down write protection eliminate additional timing and protection hardware. DATA Polling, RDY/BUSY and Toggle status bit signal the start and end of the self−timed write cycle. Additionally, the CAT28LV65 features hardware and software write protection.
