The IC component 93C46AT-I/MC is a 1K-bit, 5.0V CMOS Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology. Here is an overview and key features of the IC component 93C46AT-I/MC:
1. Memory Size: The 93C46AT-I/MC offers a total of 1K-bits of memory storage. This means it can store up to 128 bytes (or 256 8-bit bytes) of data.
2. Serial Interface: It features a 3-wire serial interface, consisting of a Serial Data Input (DI), a Serial Data Output (DO), and a Serial Clock (SK) pin. This interface allows for easy use with microcontrollers or other digital circuits.
3. Organization: The memory is organized into 64 pages, each consisting of 16 bytes. The IC supports both random and sequential read operations, providing flexible access to the stored data.
4. High-Speed Operation: With a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz, the 93C46AT-I/MC enables fast read and write operations. It also provides a maximum write cycle time of 5ms, ensuring efficient data programming.
5. Write Protection: The IC supports hardware write protection to prevent accidental or unauthorized writes to the memory. The Write Protect (WP) pin can be used to disable or enable write operations, enhancing data security
