Microchip Technology 93LC86BT-I/OT EEPROM

The 93LC86BT-I/OT is a high-quality EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) device from the reputable manufacturer Microchip Technology. This product offers a robust storage solution for applications requiring non-volatile memory. With a 16Kbit (2K x 8 or 1K x 16) memory size, it provides ample space for storing configurations, settings, or small amounts of data that must be preserved during power cycles.

Designed for optimal flexibility, the 93LC86BT-I/OT supports both the industry-standard 8-bit and 16-bit memory organization. This allows for easy integration into various system architectures, catering to a broad range of application requirements. The device operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for low-power and standard operations alike.

One of the key features of this EEPROM is its self-timed erase and write cycles, which include auto-erase before writing to ensure data integrity. This functionality simplifies the design process as it removes the need for complex programming algorithms and timing management from the host controller. Moreover, the 93LC86BT-I/OT boasts a write cycle time of just 5 ms, allowing for quick data updates and minimal system downtime.

For communication, the device utilizes the 3-wire serial interface, which is compatible with the Microwire protocol. This proven interface standard ensures reliable data transfer while maintaining simplicity in connectivity. The 93LC86BT-I/OT is also known for its high reliability, with an endurance of 1 million erase/write cycles and a data retention period of over 200 years, providing peace of mind for long-term applications.

Available in a compact SOT-23 package, the 93LC86BT-I/OT is ideal for space-constrained applications. It is also characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. Whether it's for industrial controls, automotive systems, or consumer electronics, the 93LC86BT-I/OT from Microchip Technology is an excellent choice for designers looking for a dependable and flexible non-volatile memory solution.
