93LC56BT-I/OT

The 93LC56BT-I/OT is a serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) chip manufactured by Microchip Technology. It offers a non-volatile memory solution with a capacity of 2 Kbits organized as 256 x 8 bits. Here's a detailed description:

• Memory Organization: The EEPROM is organized into 256 bytes of memory, each byte being 8 bits wide.

• Interface: It communicates via a 3-wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, which includes Serial Data Input (DI), Serial Data Output (DO), and Serial Clock (SCK) lines.

• Operating Voltage: The chip operates within a voltage range typically between 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

• Data Retention: It maintains data retention for over 200 years and supports over a million erase/write cycles, ensuring reliable and durable performance.

• Package: The 93LC56BT-I/OT is available in various compact surface-mount packages, such as 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) and DFN (Dual Flat No-lead), making it suitable for space-constrained designs.

• Applications: Common applications include storing configuration data, calibration data, and other critical parameters in microcontroller-based systems, where non-volatile storage with easy programmability and compact size is essential.

• Features:

  • Fast SPI interface with clock speeds up to 10 MHz.
  • Byte-wide programming capability for easy data manipulation.
  • Built-in hardware and software write protection to prevent accidental data corruption.
