PRODUCT GUIDE: Serial SRAM Memory Family

Microchip’s new serial SRAM family provides a way to easily and inexpensively add external RAM to almost any application. These serial devices use less power and fewer I/O connections than traditional parallel SRAM. And, they allow designers to use a smaller microcontroller rather than moving to a larger microcontroller just to get more on-board RAM.

Introduction to the UNIO EEPROM Family Part 1 of 2
When small size or I/O resources on the microcontroller are a concern and non-volatile memory is required, the UNI/O EEPROM Family is another option. This seminar begins with a brief overview of the serial buses used in today's mainstream EEPROMs, followed by a comparison of the new UNI/O Bus protocol. Since this new bus only uses a single I/O port for communication, it gives engineers another option for miniaturization and lower system costs. As the seminar progresses, the main features of this new memory are shown along with the advanced features never before seen in a single EEPROM device. Finally, there is a discussion on an easy way to evaluate UNI/O EEPROMs using existing customer hardware and Microchip's software drivers.

PRODUCT GUIDE: UNI/O® Serial EEPROMs: Single I/O Bus Interface

The UNI/O® serial EEPROM is a SINGLE I/O EEPROM device that has been developed by Microchip Technology Inc. The EEPROM has been developed to work on the UNI/O® Bus, a propriety single I/O bus protocol, also developed by Microchip Technology Inc. The Bus combines the clock and data lines into a single bit stream using the Manchester Encoding technique. This single I/O EEPROM family has the advantage of using just ONE MCU I/O pin as opposed to at least 4 MCU I/O’s needed by the SPI, 4 I/O’s by the Microwire and at least 2 I/O’s by the I2C.
