Working Principles

The S99AL016J0210 is based on flash memory technology. It utilizes a floating gate transistor structure to store and retrieve data. When data is written, an electrical charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the transistor's behavior. This charge can be removed during erasure, allowing new data to be written. The SPI interface facilitates communication between the IC and the microcontroller.
