Take your designs to a higher level with the power of Saifun NROM™ memory

Ease of Use

Saifun's EEPROM devices are easy to use:

• All data is handled internally, with no
need for any external RAM

• No need for a Sector Erase followed by
a Page Write when in Rewrite mode

Fastest Access Times

The SA24C family sets the industry speed
record for serial non-volatile memories:

• The devices run at
100/400/1700/3400 KHz (as
compared to the industry standard of
400KHz)

Minimal System Cost

System cost is affected by both footprint
and package cost. Saifun's 512Kb and 1Mb
IIC Serial EEPROM devices have the same
small footprint as the industry standard's
8-pin SOIC packages, and leadless MLF
packages.
The devices' small footprint saves board
space and reduces system overhead cost.
This enables new features and capabilities
to be added to your products simply and
easily, without costly, time-consuming
redesigns. In addition, EEPROM usage
eliminates the need for data management
by the system.

Easy Migration

The Saifun 512Kb and 1Mb IIC Serial
EEPROM devices have 128-byte Page Write.
This Page feature, taken together with Saifun
NROM technology and the devices' small
footprint, gives a clear migration path from
low-density IIC EEPROMs (128Kb and 256Kb)
to the 512 Kb and 1Mb SA24C family.

Reduced Power Consumption

Saifun NROM technology uses far less power
in system standby mode than any other IIC
device on the market, which makes the
SA24C family ideal for portable applications.

Greater Reliability

Saifun NROM technology has high immunity
to point defects, and enables more than
100,000 cycles of endurance and over 20
years of retention. In traditional EEPROM/
Flash technologies, insulator point defects
may increase over time as a result of
repeated program/erase cycles. This may
eventually lead to leakage pass-through that
causes the cell's entire charge to drain out.
With NROM technology, however, as charge
is stored in localized states, a defect that
causes one charge to leak does not imply
leakage of any other charges in its vicinity.

Added Value for All Applications

The SA24C family of devices addresses
various target markets:
