STMicroelectronics introduces dual interface 64-Kbit wirelessly programmable EEPROM
|
|
The M24LR64 is an electrically-erasable memory (EEPROM) that can also be programmed wirelessly by industry standard RFID (radio-frequency ID) equipment. Using the M24LR64 for program or data storage provides extra flexibility for customers, allowing software updates or specific parameters to be applied in the supply chain. |
With an easy implementation based on two industry standard protocols, I2C and ISO 15693, the dual interface opens new horizons for a wide range of applications for all segments. It enables EEPROM customers now to access their data from outside the application using a passive RF interface.
The link between two worlds
The ability to program or read a memory wirelessly, as well as electrically, enables designers to imagine new concepts and types of product offering.
Dual compatibility makes it an ideal choice for applications needing constant innovation including:
- computers
- consumer electronics
- automotive systems
- medical equipment
- industrial equipment
Key features
- Industry standard interfaces : I2C and ISO/IEC 15693
- 64-Kbit EEPROM user memory
- 64-bit unique identifier (UID, read-only)
- Write protection in I2C access with 32-bit password
- Write/read protection in RF access with 32-bit password
- Application family identifier (AFI)
- Data storage format identifier (DSFID)
- 13.56 MHz carrier frequency
Key benefits
- State-of-the-art EEPROM technology
- Most flexible solution for parameter updates
- High reliability
- Simple and cost-effective implementation
