What are the key features of 93AA56A-I/SN?
- 2 Kbit (128 x 16) Microwire EEPROM with 1 MHz clock speed and 1,000,000 write/erase cycle endurance for frequent parameter updates
- Wide 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range allowing direct connection to both 1.8 V low-power microcontrollers and legacy 5 V embedded systems
- SOIC-8 package with 200-year minimum data retention and RoHS-compliant (e3) construction for industrial and consumer storage applications
What is 93AA56A-I/SN used for?
93AA56A-I/SN is used in embedded systems requiring small non-volatile storage for calibration constants, device serial numbers, configuration parameters, and trim values accessed over a simple 3-wire Microwire SPI-compatible interface. Its 1.8 V minimum operating voltage makes it compatible with ultra-low-power sensor nodes, wearables, and metering equipment where system standby voltage is kept low to maximize battery life. The 1,000,000-cycle endurance suits logging applications such as power meter event counters and thermostat schedule records that update stored values thousands of times annually.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the memory organization and interface speed of 93AA56A-I/SN?
93AA56A-I/SN is organized as 128 words of 16 bits each (2048 bits total), accessed over the Microwire serial interface at up to 1 MHz clock frequency. The 16-bit word organization is well suited for storing sensor calibration coefficients or configuration register images that naturally fit a 16-bit data width, reducing the number of read/write cycles compared to byte-wide alternatives.
How does 93AA56A-I/SN perform in low-voltage battery-powered designs compared to 5 V-only EEPROM alternatives?
93AA56A-I/SN operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, whereas earlier Microwire EEPROMs such as 93C56 typically require 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This wide range allows direct operation from a LiPo battery near 1.8 V end-of-discharge or a 1.8 V LDO regulator in ultra-low-power IoT nodes without a boost converter, saving up to 200 µA of quiescent current that a boost circuit would otherwise consume.
How does the 1,000,000-cycle endurance of 93AA56A-I/SN affect its suitability for real-time data logging applications?
With 1,000,000 write/erase cycles rated endurance per address location, 93AA56A-I/SN supports writing a given memory location approximately 1,000,000 times before wear-out. For a data logger updating a 16-bit record every 30 seconds, this translates to roughly 30 million seconds, or nearly 1 year, of continuous writes per location before exhaustion — adequate for many industrial logging cycles when wear-leveling across multiple addresses is applied.
Which Microchip microcontroller families can directly interface with 93AA56A-I/SN using built-in SPI or Microwire peripherals?
PIC16, PIC18, PIC32, and dsPIC30 families include SPI peripherals configurable for Microwire-compatible mode (SPI Mode 0, 0), allowing 93AA56A-I/SN read and write operations without bit-banging. At 1 MHz clock, a 16-bit read completes in 16 µs, well within the DMA transfer window of most PIC SPI modules. The SOIC-8 footprint also matches standard Microchip development board EEPROM socket footprints, speeding prototype validation.
