The AT93C46-PC27 is a 1K (128 x 8 or 64 x 16) serial electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) from Microchip (formerly Atmel). It features a 3-wire serial interface for ease of use in various applications.

Applications:

• Consumer electronics
• Industrial control systems
• Medical devices
• Automotive electronics
• Data storage in embedded systems

Features:

• Low-voltage operation (2.7V to 5.5V)
• 1K (128 x 8 or 64 x 16) bits of EEPROM
• 3-wire serial interface
• Self-timed write cycle
• High reliability with endurance of 1 million write cycles
• Data retention of 100 years
• Available in PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP packages

Benefits:

• Non-volatile storage: Data is retained even when power is removed.
• Easy to interface: The 3-wire serial interface simplifies integration with microcontrollers.
• Low power consumption: Suitable for battery-powered applications.
• Reprogrammable: Allows for firmware updates and data changes in the field.
• High endurance: Can withstand a large number of write cycles.

Additional Details:

The AT93C46-PC27 uses a simple 3-wire serial interface consisting of a clock input (SCK), a data input (DI), and a data output (DO). The device is accessed via a series of instructions sent serially. The memory array can be organized as either 128 bytes x 8 bits or 64 words x 16 bits, selectable through the ORG pin. The device includes features such as write enable/disable and write protection to ensure data integrity. It operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
