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
93AA56A, 93LC56A or 93C56A devices are available,
while the 93AA56B, 93LC56B and 93C56B 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 includ-
ing 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and advanced packaging
including 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead SOT-23, and 8-lead
TSSOP. Pb-free (Pure Matte Sn) finish is also
available.
• 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
• Temperature ranges supported:
