DESCRIPTION
The CAT28C16A is a fast, low power, 5V-only CMOS
Parallel E
2
PROM organized as 2K x 8-bits. It requires a
simple interface for in-system programming. On-chip
address and data latches, self-timed write cycle with
auto-clear and V
CC
power up/down write protection
eliminate additional timing and protection hardware.
DATA
Polling signals the start and end of the self-timed
write cycle. Additionally, the CAT28C16A features hard-
ware write protection.
The CAT28C16A is manufactured using Catalyst’s ad-
vanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed to
endure 10,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 10 years. The device is available in JEDEC
approved 24-pin DIP and SOIC or 32-pin PLCC pack-
ages.

*COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions outside of
those listed in the operational sections of this specifica-
tion is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum
rating for extended periods may affect device perfor-
mance and reliability.
