Microchip 24AA025E48 Cascadeable I2C Serial EEPROM
Microchip Technology introduced the 24AA025E48 cascadeable I2C serial EEPROM device. The EUI-64 compatible 24AA025E48 features pre-programmed EUI-48-node addresses. The EEPROM device enables designers to add MAC addresses to their designs on-the-fly. The address pins on the 24AA025E48 further enable designers to add more memory to their application, by allowing them to cascade up to eight [...]
Microchip RE46C162/3 Ion, RE46C165/6/7/8 Photo Smoke Detector ICs
Microchip Technology introduced the RE46C162/3 Ion and RE46C165/6/7/8 (RE46C16X) photo smoke-detector ICs with alarm memory. RE46C16X ICs feature alarm memory, which enables the ICs to quickly determine which detector in an interconnected loop triggered an alarm. A charge-dump feature allows the alarm on all interconnected devices to stop sooner. The ICs’ low energy use enables [...]
