The IC component 93LC46CT-I/MS is a popular EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive systems, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
Key features of the 93LC46CT-I/MS include:
1. Memory Capacity: The IC has a total memory capacity of 1,024 bits or 128 bytes, which can be easily addressed and read or written using standard microcontroller communication protocols.
2. Serial Communication: The 93LC46CT-I/MS supports a 3-wire interface, enabling serial communication between the EEPROM and other devices such as microcontrollers or microprocessors. This interface significantly reduces the number of I/O pins required for communication.
3. Low Power Consumption: The IC operates at a low voltage range, typically between 2.5V and 5.5V. It consumes minimal power during both read and write operations, making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient devices.
4. High-Speed Operation: With a maximum clock frequency of 5 MHz, the 93LC46CT-I/MS offers fast read and write operations, facilitating quick access to stored data.
5. Non-Volatile Memory: The EEPROM's non-volatile memory technology ensures that data remains stored even when the power supply is disconnected or interrupted. This feature is crucial for applications that require reliable and persistent data storage
