Working Principles

The AT29C512-90JU-T utilizes EEPROM technology to store and retrieve digital information. It consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of holding one bit of data. The IC uses electrical signals to program and erase these memory cells, allowing for non-volatile storage.

During programming, the IC applies a high voltage to the selected memory cell, causing electrons to tunnel through an insulating layer and become trapped in a floating gate. This process sets the memory cell to a programmed state, representing a logical "1."

To erase a memory cell, a higher voltage is applied, removing the trapped electrons from the floating gate and resetting the cell to an erased state, representing a logical "0."

The AT29C512-90JU-T incorporates control pins (CE#, OE#, WE#) that enable read, write, and erase operations. These pins, along with the address inputs (A0-A14), facilitate communication between the IC and the microcontroller or other devices.
