The 93LC46B-I/P is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component produced by Microchip Technology. It is a small-sized, low-power, 1K-bit serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The IC utilizes a three-wire serial bus communication protocol, making it suitable for a range of applications.
Key features of the 93LC46B-I/P IC component include:
1. Low Power Consumption: The IC operates at a low voltage, typically ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices where power consumption is critical.
2. High Data Retention: The EEPROM offers a high data retention time of over 200 years, ensuring data integrity and long-term storage.
3. Serial Communication: The IC uses a three-wire serial bus communication protocol, including a data in (DI) line, data out (DO) line, and a serial clock (CLK) line, allowing for easy integration with various microcontrollers and other devices.
4. Small Package: The 93LC46B-I/P comes in an 8-pin, dual-in-line (DIP) package, making it compact and suitable for space-constrained applications.
5. Non-Volatile Memory: As an EEPROM, the IC allows for non-volatile data storage, meaning the stored data remains intact even when the power supply is disconnected
