Frequently Asked Questions
How many write/erase cycles and how long can the 93C46BT-I/SN reliably store data?
The 93C46BT-I/SN supports 1,000,000 erase/write cycles with a minimum data retention time exceeding 200 years. This combination of high endurance and long retention makes it suitable for storing frequently updated configuration data or calibration values in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics designs.
What serial interface protocol does the 93C46BT-I/SN use, and how fast can it operate?
The 93C46BT-I/SN uses a 3-wire Microwire-compatible serial interface operating at clock frequencies up to 3 MHz. This simple protocol uses only chip select, clock, and data lines, minimizing the MCU GPIO pin count needed to connect 1 Kbit of non-volatile EEPROM storage.
When is the 93C46BT-I/SN preferable over an I2C EEPROM for a small embedded design?
The 93C46BT-I/SN's Microwire 3-wire interface can be simpler to implement on MCUs that lack hardware I2C peripherals, since it does not require pull-up resistors or address arbitration. Its 1 Kbit capacity in an 8-pin SOIC-8 footprint is sufficient for storing a few dozen bytes of calibration or configuration data in cost-sensitive embedded products.
