Working Principles

AT25010-10PI-2.7 utilizes electrically controlled floating gate transistors to store and retrieve data. When writing, a high voltage is applied to the gate, allowing electrons to tunnel through an insulating layer onto the floating gate. This process traps charge, representing a logical "1" or "0". During reading, the stored charge is sensed, determining the stored data.
