Atmel Introduces World"s Most Innovative 2-pin, Self-Powered Serial EEPROM Targeting the IoT, Battery, Consumable and Cable Identification Markets
Verfasser: pr-gateway on Monday, 10 August 2015With Novel Parasitic Power Scheme, New Single-Wire Family Requires Just One Data and One Ground Pin Eliminating the Need for Power Source/ Vcc and Features Plug-and-Play 64-bit Serial Number for Identification
San Jose, Calif., August 10, 2015 - Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a global leader in microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today launched the industry"s most innovative Single-Wire EEPROM with only two-pins-a data pin and ground pin for operation-making the new family ideal for the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, consumable, battery and cable identification markets. The new devices are self-powered, eliminating the need for a power source or Vcc pin, with a parasitic power scheme over the data pin. These devices provide best-in-class ultra-low power standby of 700nA, 200µA for write current and 80µA for read current at 25 degree Celsius-delivering just one third the power of leading competitors.
