Microchip Technology 93LC56BT-E/MS Product Overview

The 93LC56BT-E/MS from Microchip Technology is a high-quality serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device, designed for a wide range of applications that require efficient non-volatile memory storage. Its small form factor and low-power consumption make it an ideal choice for modern electronic systems where space and power are at a premium.

Key Features

• Memory Size: The device offers 2K (256 x 8 or 128 x 16) bits of memory, providing flexibility for storing configurations, calibration data, or small application logs.
• Interface Type: It uses a simple and versatile 3-wire serial interface, which is compatible with the standard SPI protocol, making it easy to integrate into most microcontroller-based systems.
• Operating Voltage: The 93LC56BT-E/MS operates at a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, accommodating various logic levels and power supplies.
• Temperature Range: With an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, this EEPROM can reliably function in harsh environmental conditions.
• Packaging: The device comes in an 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) that is both space-saving and suitable for automated assembly processes.
• Self-Timed Erase and Write Cycles: Automatic erase-before-write and write cycle timing eliminate the need for complex external software management, simplifying the integration into existing designs.
• Write Protect: A dedicated write protect pin ensures memory integrity by preventing unintentional writes, which is critical for applications where data must remain unaltered.
