Microchip Technology's 93C46BT/ST EEPROM

The 93C46BT/ST is a high-quality, 1Kbit Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device from Microchip Technology, designed to deliver a reliable and flexible storage solution for a wide array of applications. This particular EEPROM is part of the 93XX series, which is renowned for its low-power consumption and robust performance in demanding environments.

This device operates with a serial interface and is organized as 64 x 16-bit, making it suitable for storing configuration data, calibration information, or small amounts of data that may need to be updated periodically. The 93C46BT/ST boasts a wide operating voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, which allows it to be used in both 3.3V and 5V systems, providing designers with the flexibility to integrate it into a variety of electronic circuits.

One of the key features of the 93C46BT/ST is its self-timed write cycle, which includes an auto-erase function before writing, simplifying the write operation and ensuring data integrity. Additionally, it supports a write protect pin that, when activated, prevents accidental data overwrites, thereby protecting the stored information.

The 93C46BT/ST is available in a small outline transistor (SOT-23) package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. It is also designed to withstand harsh conditions, with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable operation even in extreme environments.

With a typical write cycle time of 5ms and over one million erase/write cycles, the 93C46BT/ST offers a durable data storage solution. Its data retention is rated at over 100 years, ensuring that the data stored today will still be accessible well into the future.

Whether you're designing consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial controls, or any application that requires a compact, non-volatile memory, the Microchip Technology 93C46BT/ST EEPROM provides a dependable choice for your storage needs.
