The IC component 93LC66BT/ST is a popular serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is commonly used to store small amounts of data in various electronic devices such as microcontrollers, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. Here is a brief overview of its key features:
1. Memory Capacity: The 93LC66BT/ST offers a total storage capacity of 4 kilobits (512 x 8), allowing you to store up to 512 bytes (or eight pages) of data.
2. Serial Interface: It communicates with the host system using a 3-wire or 4-wire serial interface, which makes it easy to integrate into various microcontroller systems.
3. Low Power Consumption: The IC has a low operating voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, and it consumes minimal power during both read and write operations, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
4. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum clock frequency of 5 MHz, it provides fast read and write operations, minimizing access time and facilitating quick data transfers.
5. Non-Volatile Memory: The stored data in the 93LC66BT/ST remains intact even when the power supply is removed, making it ideal for applications where persistent memory is necessary
