Atmel is the leading supplier of Serial EEPROM devices supporting 2-wire, 3-wire, and SPI protocols, memory densities from 1K-bit through 1M-bit, voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V, and industry standard PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP package types, as well as, innovative space conscious LAP, MAP, TAP and dBGA packages.
Atmel provides a complete selection of densities (64 K-bit to 4 M-bit), operating voltages and device packages. Atmel's battery voltage (2.7), low voltage (3.0) and 5-volt Parallel EEPROMs are used extensively across a broad spectrum of products including telecommunications, avionics and military applications. Atmel offers the world's only 4-Mb monolithic EEPROM, which is used in military and commercial avionics applications.
DataFlash® is the world's number one selling serial interface flash family. Introduced in 1997, Atmel's Dataflash families (45 series and the recently introduced 26 series) are feature rich, low pin count, sequential access families ideal for program code, data storage, Serial EEPROM replacement, and the next generation PC Bios Market.
Simple SPI Interface, Robust Architecture
DataFlash employs proven NOR technology (100% good bits), a robust architecture featuring on-board SRAM buffers (45 series), small pages and flexible op codes. Small pages facilitate easier changes to the chip's contents with less power consumption and eliminate the large external RAM buffers required by large sectored flash.
The simple SPI interface greatly reduces system pin counts, power consumption and switching noise. System design is greatly simplified with DataFlash, as all densities 1 Mbit to 128 Mbits (45 series), and 4 Mbit to 32M bit (26 series) require only 4 pins to connect to the system processor, controller or DSP. This also allows for an easy migration path between densities with no board changes. DataFlash is offered in several footprint-compatible packages including SOIC/CASON, TSOP, MLF and CBGA.
World's Fastest Serial Flash
For frequencies greater than 33 MHz, Atmel has pioneered the RapidS™ serial interface on its 45 series products. RapidS is a natural extension of SPI and allows bus frequencies of 50 Mhz and beyond. For applications requiring even faster read throughput, Atmel has introduced Rapid8™, an 8-bit sequential access interface on the high-density 45 series DataFlash products. The Rapid8 interface is offered on the 64 Mbit and 128 Mbit 45 series devices. These two devices can operate with the RapidS/SPI interface, the Rapid8 interface or both.
A Better Way
System designers have adopted DataFlash as the sole nonvolatile memory block in their system, replacing up to three memories to hold program code, user data and ID, calibration, or parametric data. DataFlash increases reliability and dramatically reduces total system costs, size, switching noise and manufacturing complexity.

Catalyst offers both standard 5 volt-only and 3.3 volt-only parallel EEPROMs to meet battery operated application requirements. Products with 16Kbit to 512Kbit densities are available.
ST serial EEPROMs are the most flexible non-volatile memories for parameter storage because they can be written at byte level.ST offers optimum solutions for all design requirements with the best portfolio in terms of densities, interfaces, low pin count and cost-effective packages.
