Product details
Overview
AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 from Adesto Technologies is an 8 Mbit serial DataFlash memory IC with RapidS™ SPI-compatible interface, 256/264-byte configurable page size, dual 256-/264-byte SRAM buffers, and industrial temperature support. It delivers up to 66 MHz read speed, 100,000 program/erase cycles per page, and 20-year data retention for embedded code shadowing and firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 datasheet, AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 pinout, AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 application, or AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include page-size flexibility (256 vs. 264 bytes), dual-buffered concurrent read/write capability, hardware write protection via WP pin, sector lockdown security, and SOIC-8 packaging compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The AT45DB081D-SSU-2.5 implements a sequential-access Flash architecture using a three-wire SPI interface (CS, SCK, SI/SO) with Mode 0 and Mode 3 compatibility. Its memory is organized as 4,096 pages of either 256 or 264 bytes, partitioned into 16 sectors with hierarchical erase granularity (page/block/sector/chip).
Two independent SRAM buffers enable simultaneous data reception and Flash reprogramming - critical for real-time firmware updates. All erase and program operations are self-timed, eliminating external timing control, and the device supports EEPROM emulation via internal read-modify-write sequences without external high-voltage circuitry.
