AT93C46 SOP 3-Wire Serial EEPROM

Product Description: AT93C46 SOP 5.5V 2mA 3-Wire Serial EEPROM

The AT93C46 SOP 5.5V 2mA 3-Wire Serial EEPROM is a high-performance electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) designed for storing small amounts of data in a non-volatile format. The AT93C46 is a 3-wire serial EEPROM with a storage capacity of 512 bits (64 x 8 bits), making it ideal for applications that require data retention even when power is removed. With a wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and low current consumption of just 2mA, this EEPROM is perfect for low-power embedded systems.

This SOP (Small Outline Package) form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained designs, offering a compact, surface-mount solution. The 3-wire serial interface (Serial Clock, Chip Select, and Data Input/Output) ensures easy communication with microcontrollers, processors, and other logic devices in a variety of applications. The AT93C46 EEPROM is commonly used in devices that need to store configuration data, calibration information, or unique identifiers.

Key Features:

• Memory Capacity: 512 bits (64 x 8 bits), ideal for storing small amounts of critical data.
• 3-Wire Interface: Utilizes a simple 3-wire serial interface (SCK, CS, SI/DO), which reduces wiring complexity and simplifies integration with microcontrollers.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes only 2mA during operation, making it ideal for low-power or battery-operated systems.
• Wide Operating Voltage: Operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, offering flexibility for different system voltages.
• Non-Volatile Storage: Retains data even when power is removed, ensuring permanent storage for critical information.
• Fast Data Access: Provides fast read and write operations, with a typical 100kHz clock frequency for efficient communication.
• Compact SOP Package: The SOP (Small Outline Package) form factor is compact and easy to integrate into surface-mount designs.
• Data Retention: Provides long-term data retention for up to 100 years at 25°C, ensuring reliable storage for sensitive data.
• Write Protection: Supports write protection to safeguard stored data against accidental overwrites.
• Low-voltage Operation: Can operate at lower voltages (down to 2.5V), making it suitable for portable, battery-powered devices.

Applications:

• Microcontroller Systems: Used to store configuration data, settings, or calibration parameters for embedded systems and microcontroller-based applications.
• Industrial Equipment: Ideal for storing machine parameters, factory calibration data, and other system information that must persist through power cycles.
• Consumer Electronics: Used in consumer devices to store settings, user preferences, or device serial numbers.
• IoT Devices: Common in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, where data persistence is crucial for device identity, firmware settings, and communication protocols.
• Automotive Electronics: Stores critical settings in automotive control systems and other vehicular electronics.
• Smart Cards and Key Fobs: Used for storing security-related data such as cryptographic keys and unique identifiers.
• Medical Devices: Ideal for medical equipment that needs to retain patient data or system configurations between power cycles.
• Data Logging: Used in data logger applications to retain readings or measurement data over time in remote or battery-powered systems.
