Microchip 2 kB EEPROM Serial-Microwire, 8-Pin SOIC, 400 ns Access Time, 4.5-5.5V Supply 93C56-E/SN

The Microchip 93C56-E/SN is a 2-kilobyte Microwire Serial EEPROM designed for use in a variety of industrial and electronic applications requiring reliable non-volatile memory storage. This device features an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package with a compact footprint measuring 4.9 mm in length, 6 mm in width, and 1.75 mm in height, making it suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Operating with a supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, this EEPROM supports a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz, enabling efficient and fast serial data communication. The memory is configurable via an ORG pin, allowing organization as either 8-bit x 256 words or 16-bit x 128 words, adaptable to application requirements.

With a maximum random access time of 400 ns, the 93C56-E/SN delivers rapid data retrieval. It consumes low active and standby power currents (4 mA and 3 µA respectively at 2.5 V), contributing to energy-efficient designs. The device also provides robust data retention, guaranteed for more than 200 years, ensuring long-term data integrity.

Designed for operation over a broad temperature range from -40°C up to 125°C, this EEPROM is suited for demanding industrial and automotive environments. It features self-timed erase and write cycles with automatic erase before write to streamline programming operations. Additional power-on/off data protection circuitry safeguards memory contents during power fluctuations.

Further functional benefits include the industry-standard 3-wire serial I/O interface, a device status signal indicating ready or busy states, and a sequential read mode for extended data access. The device performs up to 1,000,000 erase/write cycles, supporting extensive programming durability.

This Microchip EEPROM is ideal for embedded systems, industrial controls, instrumentation, and other electronics requiring persistent configuration or data storage. Provides configurable memory organization of 8-bit x 256 or 16-bit x 128 via ORG pin.
