The IC component 93LC86C-I/P is a popular memory chip produced by Microchip Technology Inc. It is a serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) that offers a small form factor, low power consumption, and high storage capacity.
Some key features of the 93LC86C-I/P include:
1. Memory Size: This IC component has a storage capacity of 16 kilobits (2 kilobytes) organized into 256 words of 8 bits each. This provides ample space to store data such as calibration values, configuration settings, or small amount of non-volatile program code.
2. Serial Interface: The 93LC86C-I/P communicates using a simple and widely used 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. The SPI interface enables easy integration with microcontrollers, including read, write, and erase operations.
3. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz, this IC allows for quick data transfer. It efficiently manages data, ensuring reliable reading and writing operations.
4. Low Power Consumption: The 93LC86C-I/P is designed to consume minimal power during both active and standby modes. It includes a built-in Power-on Reset (POR) circuit for voltage monitoring and proper device initialization.
5. Non-Volatile Memory: The EEPROM technology used in this component allows data to be stored even when power is disconnected
