Description

PM25LV010AE is a 1 Mbit 3.0 Volt-only Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memory manufactured by Programmable Microelectronics Corp. The device is designed to support the fastest clock rate in the industry in normal read mode, fast read mode, and the bottom 4 Kbyte sector into four smaller 1 Kbyte sectors features. The device uses a single low voltage, ranging from 2.7 Volt to 3.6 Volt, power supply to perform read, erase, and program operations, and can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers. The PM25LV010-33 is backward compatible with its predecessor PM25LV010-25.
