What are the key features of 93C56C-E/STG?
- 2-Kbit serial EEPROM with 3 MHz max clock speed and 3-wire SPI-compatible interface for simple microcontroller integration
- 1,000,000 write/erase cycle endurance with 200-year minimum data retention for long-life non-volatile configuration storage
- 8-bit or 16-bit selectable memory organization in a compact 8-lead TSSOP package for space-constrained PCB designs
What is 93C56C-E/STG used for?
93C56C-E/STG is suited for storing non-volatile configuration parameters, calibration data, and device identifiers in consumer electronics, industrial controllers, and automotive modules where a small serial EEPROM is needed. Its 2-Kbit capacity and 3-wire interface allow microcontrollers to read and write settings such as network addresses, sensor trim values, and feature flags without a larger Flash or FRAM device. The 8-pin TSSOP footprint minimizes board area in compact designs such as smart meters, remote controls, and IoT edge nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many write cycles does 93C56C-E/STG support and how does this affect longevity in data-logging applications?
93C56C-E/STG supports 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per byte location, which at one write per minute equates to nearly 2 years of continuous cycling before wear-out. For typical configuration storage where writes occur only during setup or calibration — perhaps a few hundred writes per year — the device would last over 1,000 years in practical use, far exceeding product lifetimes.
What interface speed does 93C56C-E/STG support and how does it connect to a microcontroller?
93C56C-E/STG operates with a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface at up to 3 MHz clock frequency, requiring only CS, CLK, and DI/DO signals from a microcontroller GPIO or dedicated SPI peripheral. This low pin count eliminates the need for a parallel bus interface, reducing I/O consumption and simplifying PCB routing for embedded designs with limited GPIO.
How does 93C56C-E/STG compare to an I2C EEPROM for automotive calibration data storage?
Unlike I2C EEPROMs that require address pins to distinguish multiple devices, 93C56C-E/STG uses a single chip-select line for device addressing on the SPI bus, making it simpler to gang multiple devices on one bus. For automotive calibration storage where data is written at end-of-line and read during operation, the 2-Kbit capacity and 200-year data retention ensure calibration data survives the 15-year vehicle lifetime with wide margin.
Can 93C56C-E/STG store both 8-bit and 16-bit wide data words and why does this matter?
Yes, 93C56C-E/STG supports selectable 8-bit or 16-bit memory organization via the ORG pin, allowing 256 x 8-bit or 128 x 16-bit access modes. The 16-bit mode is useful when storing 16-bit calibration coefficients or configuration words in a single read/write transaction, halving the number of SPI operations needed and reducing firmware complexity in word-oriented microcontroller architectures.
