What are the key features of 93LC46BT-I/SN?

  • 1Kbit (128B) SPI/Microwire serial EEPROM with 2 MHz maximum clock for fast low-pin-count data storage
  • 2.5V to 5.5V wide supply voltage range compatible with 3.3V and 5V embedded system logic rails
  • 1,000,000 minimum erase/write cycles endurance with greater than 200-year data retention for high-reliability storage
  • 8-pin SOIC package with 400 ns access time enabling rapid read operations in space-constrained designs

What is 93LC46BT-I/SN used for?

The 93LC46BT-I/SN is well suited for storing small configuration tables, trim values, and MAC addresses in consumer electronics, automotive modules, and industrial sensors requiring non-volatile memory on a 3-wire SPI bus. Its 1,000,000 write cycle endurance and 200-year data retention ensure reliable operation in meter calibration and unit-identity storage applications. The compact SOIC-8 footprint and 2.5V to 5.5V supply range make it easy to drop into existing microcontroller-based designs with minimal board space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum SPI clock speed of the 93LC46BT-I/SN and how does that affect read latency?

The 93LC46BT-I/SN supports a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz and a 400 ns access time, allowing fast serial reads of its 128-byte (1Kbit) array in microcontroller designs operating from 2.5V to 5.5V supply rails.

How long can data stored in the 93LC46BT-I/SN persist without power, and how many write operations does it survive?

Data retention exceeds 200 years under rated conditions, and the device is guaranteed for a minimum of 1,000,000 erase/write cycles per address, making it suitable for frequent configuration saves in industrial sensors or appliance control boards.

Which supply voltages does the 93LC46BT-I/SN support, and can it interface directly with 3.3V microcontrollers?

The device operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, covering the full 3.3V and 5V logic families; at 3.3V, it connects directly to modern ARM Cortex-M or PIC microcontrollers without level-shifters, simplifying BOM and PCB layout in the 8-pin SOIC package.

For a design needing MAC address or unit serial number storage, why is the 93LC46BT-I/SN a practical choice?

Its 1Kbit (128 bytes) of non-volatile storage via a 3-wire Microwire/SPI interface, combined with SOIC-8 packaging and sub-$0.50 pricing in volume, makes it cost-effective for storing fixed identifiers written once and read at every boot across millions of units.
