Working Principles

CY14E256L-SZ25XI is based on EEPROM technology, which utilizes floating-gate transistors to store and retrieve data. The memory cells are organized into a grid of rows and columns, with each cell capable of storing one bit of information. Data can be written or erased electrically, making it a non-volatile memory solution.

Detailed Application Field Plans

• Consumer Electronics: Used in smart TVs, set-top boxes, and audio/video equipment for storing configuration settings and user preferences.
• Automotive: Employed in automotive infotainment systems, instrument clusters, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for data storage and firmware updates.
• Industrial Automation: Utilized in industrial control systems, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and robotics for storing program code and system parameters.
• Medical Devices: Integrated into medical equipment such as patient monitors, infusion pumps, and diagnostic devices for data logging and firmware storage.
