April 9, 2015, Seoul – A global semiconductor company serving customers across a wide range of electronic applications.

STMicroelectronics (ST) has launched a new Industrial Plus Serial

Introducing the Industrial-Plus Serial EEPROM (EEPROM). Operating up to 105°C, it offers industry-leading capacities, bus interfaces, and packaging, offering the flexibility to upgrade data and parameter storage without changing PC board design.

The new M24 (I2C) and M95 (SPI) series comprises 34 devices, ranging from 2 kilobits to 512 kilobits, and are available in either SO8N or TSSOP pin-compatible packages. Equipment operating in harsh temperature environments will benefit from these devices' enhanced reliability .

Typical applications include advanced industrial control devices and networking equipment, smart lighting systems, smart power switches, computer servers, and wireless communication modules used in harsh environments. ST's proprietary, state-of-the-art EEPROM process technology and compact surface-mount packages also help address system size, weight, and cost challenges.

Offering fast write speeds of 4ms and supporting clock frequencies up to 20MHz, it is ideal for applications requiring high-speed parameter storage and rapid data exchange. Embedded traceability codes and write-lockable pages are also available to protect sensitive data such as serial numbers, identifiers, and traceability information .

A total of 34 Industrial Plus EEPROMs are currently in production, with samples available in all capacities, package configurations, and bus interface options. The 2-kilobit M24C02-DRE device is available in either the SO8N or TSSOP8 package, with pricing starting at 9 cents per unit in quantities of 1,000 .
