48-bit EUI Embedded
in a Serial EEPROM
| Easy access to IEEE MAC
addresses
Same code is EUI-64 Compatible
| Buy codes only when needed.
Lower overall costs
No Serialization/Programming hassles
|
At least half the array
available as a
standard EEPROM | Additional non-volatile memory.
| Scratch-pad area to store
configuration settings or to
buffer small amounts of data. |
Available in standard
buses -- SPI, I2C, UNI/O | Faster design times
Easy to incorporate into existing designs.
| Well-known protocols
Design flexibility |
Write Protected
Codes
| Any modifications to the array will
not affect these codes | Ensures unique tamper-proof
codes.
