The 93LC56B-I/P is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the Microchip Technology's Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) product family. It is a low-voltage, 2-wire serial EEPROM that offers 2048 bits (256 bytes) of non-volatile memory. Here are the key features of the 93LC56B-I/P:
1. Memory Capacity: The 93LC56B-I/P provides a total of 2048 bits (256 bytes) of memory storage. This capacity allows it to store a decent amount of data for various applications.
2. Serial Interface: This IC component features a 2-wire serial interface, also known as the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface. The I2C bus protocol enables easy communication between the EEPROM and other devices in the system.
3. Low Voltage Operation: The 93LC56B-I/P operates at a low voltage range of 2.5 to 5.5 volts. This makes it suitable for use in low-power applications or systems that require energy efficiency.
4. High-Speed Performance: Despite its low-voltage operation, this EEPROM provides high-speed performance. It supports a clock frequency range of up to 1 MHz, allowing for quick data transfers.
5. Hardware Write Protection: The IC incorporates a built-in hardware write protection mechanism that ensures the data stored in memory is not accidentally overwritten
