The IC component 93LC66CT-I/ST is a serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) manufactured by Microchip Technology. EEPROMs are non-volatile memory devices that store small amounts of data, typically up to a few kilobytes, even when power is removed.
Key features of the 93LC66CT-I/ST include:
1. Memory Capacity: The 93LC66CT-I/ST has a storage capacity of 4 kilobits (512 bytes) of non-volatile memory. This allows it to store a moderate amount of data, making it suitable for various applications.
2. Serial Interface: This EEPROM communicates using a 3-wire serial interface, which includes a data input pin (DI), a data output pin (DO), and a clock input pin (CLK). This allows for easy integration with microcontrollers and other devices with limited I/O pins.
3. Low Power Consumption: The 93LC66CT-I/ST operates at a voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of systems and reducing power consumption.
4. High Speed Performance: It supports clock frequencies up to 20MHz, enabling fast read and write operations.
5. Self-Timed Programming Cycle: This IC component features a self-timed programming cycle, which eliminates the need for external timing or clock generation circuits
