What are the key features of 93LC56A-I/MS?
- 2 Kbit serial EEPROM with 3-wire Microwire-compatible SPI interface at up to 2 MHz, offering simple non-volatile storage integration with minimal GPIO lines
- 1 million write/erase cycle endurance and 200-year minimum data retention ensuring reliable long-life calibration and configuration storage in industrial products
- Configurable 8-bit or 16-bit organization via ORG pin, providing flexible word-width selection to match host microcontroller data bus width in a compact MSOP-8 package
What is 93LC56A-I/MS used for?
The 93LC56A-I/MS is used for storing calibration coefficients, serial numbers, and configuration parameters in microcontroller-based systems such as sensor modules, smart meters, and consumer electronics products requiring 2 Kbit of non-volatile memory accessible over a 3-wire SPI-compatible interface at up to 2 MHz. Its selectable 8-bit or 16-bit word organization via the ORG pin allows designers to match the EEPROM data width to the host MCU's SPI word length without firmware changes. The MSOP-8 package makes it a compact fit for space-constrained PCB designs where through-hole DIP EEPROMs cannot be used.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the memory density and word organization options of the 93LC56A-I/MS EEPROM?
The 93LC56A-I/MS provides 2 Kbits of EEPROM, configurable as 256 × 8-bit words or 128 × 16-bit words by setting the ORG pin, allowing the host microcontroller to access data in either byte-wide or word-wide format over the 3-wire Microwire interface.
What is the maximum clock frequency and interface type supported by 93LC56A-I/MS?
The device operates with a 3-wire Microwire-compatible serial interface at clock frequencies up to 2 MHz, enabling fast EEPROM access from microcontrollers with SPI peripherals while keeping interface signal count to just 3 lines: CS, SCK, and DI/DO.
How many write cycles can 93LC56A-I/MS endure, and what data retention does it guarantee?
Microchip specifies 1 million write/erase cycles per address location and a minimum 200-year data retention at 25°C, making the 93LC56A-I/MS suitable for frequently updated counters, odometers, or event logs in products with multi-decade service lifetimes.
For a compact industrial sensor, why choose 93LC56A-I/MS in MSOP-8 over a 24-series I2C EEPROM?
The 93LC56A-I/MS 3-wire Microwire interface requires no pull-up resistors on the clock and data lines that I2C demands, and it does not share a bus address space — simplifying PCB routing. Its MSOP-8 footprint (3 mm × 3 mm) is also smaller than the SOIC-8 packages typically used for 24-series EEPROMs, saving roughly 30% board area in a compact sensor node design.
