Atmel Introduces Industry's First 1M 2-Wire Serial EEPROM Device
SAN JOSE Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2001--Atmel®
Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML) announced today the introduction of a new
1M-bit device addition to its 2-wire serial-interface product line.
The AT24C1024 is the latest and largest capacity part of a family
of devices that uses Atmel's advanced EEPROM technology which makes it
possible to fit a 1M-bit EEPROM part in an 8 pin SOIC package. The
AT24C1024 was developed and accepted as the next generation Serial
EEPROM of choice for and by many mobile phone OEMs. This device will
be used to store frequently dialed numbers, last numbers called, and
other associated memory functions. Additional applications include
pagers, set-top boxes, data bank watches, game cards, digital cameras,
PDAs and other portable consumer applications.
``Offering a 1M-bit 2-wire Serial EEPROM device is another industry
first from Atmel,'' said Bassam Khoury, Atmel's marketing director for
the Serial Interface Product Line. ``This gives designers the highest
degree of flexibility in migrating to higher densities without
changing the PC board design,'' added Khoury.
The AT24C1024 provides data transfer rates up to 400kz, operates
from 2.7V to 5.5V, guaranteed endurance of 100,000 write/erase cycles,
and has data retention of greater than 40 years.
As the leader and the largest producer of Serial EEPROMs
worldwide(1), Atmel today offers the widest product Portfolio of
Serial EEPROMs in 2-wire, SPI and 3-wire protocols.
``Atmel's leading edge technology is key to the building of high
density EEPROM products. The introduction of the AT24C1024 will
further strengthen our position as a world leader in the market,''
concluded Khoury. The AT24C1024 is available now in volume production
and offered in an 8-pin EIAJ SOIC, 8-pin PDIP, 5x8 mm LAP and dBGA
packages. Prices start at $3.50 each in quantities of 10,000. For more
