Working Principles

The 11LC040T-E/SN utilizes a floating gate technology to store data in a non-volatile manner. When data is written, charge is trapped in the floating gate, preserving the information even when the power is removed. During read operations, the stored charge is detected, allowing the retrieval of the stored data.

Detailed Application Field Plans

• Consumer Electronics: Used in smartwatches, digital cameras, and portable media players for data storage
• Industrial Automation: Employed in control systems and sensors for storing configuration parameters
• Automotive: Integrated into vehicle electronics for storing critical operational data

Detailed and Complete Alternative Models

• AT25DF041A: Offers higher storage capacity but at the cost of larger package size
• M25P40: Provides similar specifications in a different package format
