Working Principles

The AT25HP512C1-10CI-1.8 is based on Flash memory technology. It stores data by trapping electric charges within floating gate transistors. These charges represent binary information (0s and 1s). The stored data remains intact even when power is removed, thanks to the non-volatile nature of Flash memory.

During read operations, the device retrieves stored data by sensing the charges in the floating gate transistors. Write operations involve applying a high voltage to the control gate, allowing electrons to tunnel through the insulating layer and modify the charge on the floating gate.
