Microchip 1 kB Serial EEPROM 200 ns 8-Pin SOIC Serial-Microwire 93LC46C-I/SN

Microchip 93LC46C-I/SN is a high-performance 1 kB serial EEPROM designed for applications requiring compact, reliable, and non-volatile memory storage. This device features a 200 ns maximum random access time to enable fast read and write cycles, ideal for embedded systems, automotive electronics, and industrial control units.

Housed in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package, the EEPROM communicates through a 3-wire serial-microwire interface simplifying integration while maintaining compact footprint. The memory organization can be configured to 1k x 8-bit or 1k x 16-bit via an ORG pin, enhancing flexibility for different data storage requirements.

Operating voltage ranges from 2.5 V to 5.5 V with a low supply current of 1 mA, making it suitable for low-power applications. The device supports robust endurance with up to one million self-timed erase/write cycles and a data retention period exceeding 200 years, assuring data reliability over the product life cycle.

Additional features include automatic erase all before write all, power-on and power-off data protection circuitry, and an industry-standard device status signal for monitoring access operations. The EEPROM complies with automotive standard AEC-Q100 for operation in harsh environments between -40°C and 85°C.

This EEPROM is applicable in industrial control, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and communications equipment where durable, secure, and compact memory is essential. The 8-pin SOIC form factor allows for efficient PCB layout in embedded designs.
