Key Features
- 1 Kbit (64 × 16-bit) capacity with 1 MHz Microwire serial interface for simple 3-wire MCU connectivity
- 1 million write/erase cycle endurance ensuring long-life reliability in frequently updated configuration memories
- 200-year minimum data retention preserving stored parameters across the product lifetime without refresh
- Low-voltage 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range compatible with modern low-power microcontrollers
- 8-pin MSOP package occupying under 10 mm² for space-constrained IoT and wearable designs
Applications
The 93AA46B-I/MS is used in embedded systems requiring compact non-volatile storage of configuration parameters, calibration offsets, and serial number data that must persist through power loss. Its 3-wire Microwire interface suits microcontrollers with standard SPI peripherals in consumer electronics, smart meters, and industrial sensor nodes where only 1 Kbit of storage is needed. The 1 million cycle endurance and 200-year retention also make it suitable for motor drive configuration tables and medical device settings that are updated infrequently but must never be lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much data can the 93AA46B-I/MS store, and in what word organization is its memory structured?
The 93AA46B-I/MS holds 1 Kbit of data organized as 64 words of 16 bits each, allowing up to 64 independent 16-bit configuration values to be stored and retrieved individually. This word organization suits applications like motor controller parameter tables or sensor calibration coefficient arrays where each entry is a 16-bit integer.
How many write cycles does the 93AA46B-I/MS support, and why does this matter for an industrial sensor node?
The 93AA46B-I/MS is rated for 1 million write/erase cycles per address location. In an industrial sensor node that updates calibration offsets once per hour, the device would last over 114 years before reaching that endurance limit, far exceeding the typical 10-year to 15-year product life without wear-leveling firmware.
What supply voltage range does the 93AA46B-I/MS support, and how does this help in a battery-powered IoT device?
The 93AA46B-I/MS operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, allowing it to function directly on a lithium coin cell at 3 V or on a single-cell Li-ion discharge curve from 4.2 V down to 2.7 V. This wide range eliminates the need for a voltage regulator dedicated to the EEPROM, reducing BOM cost and quiescent current in always-on IoT sensor nodes.
For a compact wearable design, what PCB footprint advantage does the MSOP-8 package of the 93AA46B-I/MS provide?
The 8-pin MSOP package measures approximately 3 mm × 3 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch, occupying under 10 mm² of board area. Compared to an equivalent SOIC-8 package which occupies about 30 mm², the MSOP-8 saves roughly 20 mm², a meaningful reduction in wearable PCBs constrained to 15 mm × 20 mm or smaller form factors.
