Features:
Description:
• Low-power CMOS technology
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93XX56A/B/C devices
are 2K bit low-voltage serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs (EEPROM). Word-selectable devices such as
the 93AA56C, 93LC56C or 93C56C are dependent
upon external logic levels driving the ORG pin to set
word size. For dedicated 8-bit communication, the
93XX56A devices are available, while the 93XX56B
devices provide dedicated 16-bit communication.
Advanced CMOS technology makes these devices
ideal for low-power, nonvolatile memory applications.
The entire 93XX Series is available in standard
packages including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and
advanced packaging including 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead
SOT-23, 8-lead 2x3 DFN and 8-lead TSSOP. All
packages are Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
• ORG pin to select word size for ‘56C’ version
• 256 x 8-bit organization ‘A’ ver. devices (no ORG)
• 128 x 16-bit organization ‘B’ ver. devices (no
ORG)
• Self-timed erase/write cycles (including
auto-erase)
• Automatic ERAL before WRAL
• Power-on/off data protection circuitry
• Industry standard 3-wire serial I/O
• Device Status signal (Ready/Busy)
• Sequential read function
• 1,000,000 E/W cycles
• Data retention > 200 years
• Pb-free and RoHS compliant
• Temperature ranges supported:
- Industrial (I)
-40°C to +85°C
-40°C to +125°C
- Automotive (E)
