The IC component 93LC46B-I/ST is a 1K-bit Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) chip manufactured by Microchip Technology. Here is an overview and discussion of its key features:
1. Memory Capacity: The 93LC46B-I/ST has a storage capacity of 1,024 bits or 128 bytes. It provides non-volatile memory storage to store data even when the power supply is disconnected.
2. Serial Communication: This IC employs a simple 3-wire serial communication protocol, making it easy to interface with a microcontroller or other digital devices. It uses a single data input/output line (DI/DO), a clock input line (CK), and a chip select line (CS).
3. High-Speed Performance: The chip operates at a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz, enabling fast read/write operations. This high-speed performance makes it suitable for time-critical applications
