FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Industry-standard Microwire Interface
— Non-volatile data storage
The IS93C46B is a low-cost 1kb non-volatile,
ISSI serial EEPROM. It is fabricated using an
®
— Low voltage operation:
enhanced CMOS design and process. The
IS93C46B contains power-efficient read/write
memory, and organization of 64 words of 16 bits.
The IS93C46B is fully backward compatible with
IS93C46.
Vcc = 2.5V to 5.5V
— Full TTL compatible inputs and outputs
— Auto increment for efficient data dump
• x16 bit organization
• Hardware and software write protection
— Defaults to write-disabled state at power-up
— Software instructions for write-enable/disable
• Enhanced low voltage CMOS E2PROM
technology
• Versatile, easy-to-use Interface
— Self-timed programming cycle
— Automatic erase-before-write
— Programming status indicator
— Word and chip erasable
An instruction set defines the operation of the
devices, including read, write, and mode-enable
functions. To protect against inadvertent data
modification, all erase and write instructions are
accepted only while the device is write-enabled. A
selected x16 word can be modified with a single
WRITE or ERASE instruction. Additionally, the
two instructions WRITE ALL or ERASE ALL can
program the entire array. Once a device begins
its self-timed program procedure, the data out pin
(Dout) can indicate the READY/BUSY status by
raising chip select (CS). The self-timed write cycle
includes an automatic erase-before-write
capability. The device can output any number of
consecutive words using a single READ
— Chip select enables power savings
• Durable and reliable
— 40-year data retention after 1M write cycles
— 1 million write cycles
— Unlimited read cycles
— Schmitt-trigger inputs
