FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The X25040 is a CMOS 4096-bit serial E PROM, internally
organized as 512 x 8. The X25040 features a Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) and software protocol allowing
operation on a simple three-wire bus. The bus
signals are a clock input (SCK) plus separate data in (SI) and
data out (SO) lines. Access to the device is controlled

through a chip select (CS) input, allowing any number of
devices to share the same bus.
The X25040 also features two additional inputs that
provide the end user with added flexibility. By asserting
the HOLD input, the X25040 will ignore transitions on its
inputs, thus allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts. The WP input can be used as a hardwire input to
the X25040 disabling all write attempts, thus providing
a mechanism for limiting end user capability of altering the
memory.
The X25040 utilizes Xicor’s proprietary Direct Write™ cell,
providing a minimum endurance of 100,000 cycles
per byte and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
