The IC component 93C86C-I/SN is a 16-bit serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. It is widely used in various electronic devices for non-volatile data storage applications. Here's an overview of the key features of this IC component:
1. Memory Capacity: The 93C86C-I/SN offers a total memory capacity of 16 kilobits (2 kilobytes). It is organized into 2048 words of 8 bits each, allowing for efficient data storage and retrieval.
2. Serial Interface: This IC component communicates with the external circuitry using a 3-wire serial interface. It supports a clock signal (SCK), data input (SI), and data output (SO) pins for easy integration with microcontrollers and other serial devices.
3. Operation Modes: The 93C86C-I/SN supports two primary operation modes: Write and Read. In the Write mode, data can be programmatically written to the memory cells one byte at a time. In the Read mode, data stored in the memory can be sequentially read out.
4. EEPROM Technology: The IC utilizes EEPROM technology, which allows for non-volatile data storage even when the power is disconnected. It is designed for high endurance, enabling a minimum of 1 million erase/write cycles and long data retention periods
