3月18日消息，据外媒报道，意法半导体(ST Microelectronics)生产出史上最小系列的EEPROM封装UFDFPN5，尺寸1.4毫米X1.7毫米。

    EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory)，是电可擦可编程只读存储器--一种掉电后数据不丢失的存储芯片。

    UFDFPN5封装，比UFDFPN8小40%。是目前为止，被广泛使用的最小尺寸的封装，重量减少了56%仅为7毫克。

    首款EEPROM封装是M24C16-FMH6TG，16 kbit设备兼容400千赫和100千赫的I2C-bus模式，5毫秒页面输入，读写模式所需电流非常低仅1毫安，待机时仅需1微安电流。

    意法半导体称今年晚些时候将引入支持I2C的32kbit、64kbit和128kbit版本。

    M24C16-FMH6TG现在已有高容量可用，价格为订购1000块UFDFPN5套装，每组需0.17美元。

    STMicroelectronics has made its smallest ever serial EEPROM in a package measuring just 1.4mm x 1.7mm.

    The UFDFPN5 package, which is also known as MLP5, is 40% smaller than UFDFPN8, until now the smallest package size in widespread use, and weighs 56% less at only 7mg.

    The first EEPROM in the package is the M24C16-FMH6TG, 16kbit device is compatible with 400kHz and 100kHz I2C-bus modes. It has maximum byte or page write time of 5ms, and draws very low current of 1mA in read or write mode and 1µA in standby.

    ST said it will introduce 32kbit, 64kbit and 128kbit versions supporting I2C later this year.

    The M24C16-FMH6TG is available immediately in high volume, priced from $0.17 in the UFDFPN5 package for orders of 1,000 pieces.
