Frequently Asked Questions
What is the memory organization of the 93LC66B-I/SN?
The 93LC66B-I/SN is organized as 256 words of 16 bits each, providing a total storage capacity of 4K bits. The 16-bit word width (B-variant) makes it particularly well-suited for systems working natively with 16-bit data, reducing the number of read/write operations compared to 8-bit organized EEPROMs.
What serial interface does the 93LC66B-I/SN use?
The 93LC66B-I/SN uses a 3-wire Microwire-compatible serial interface consisting of chip select (CS), clock (SK), and data in/out (DI/DO) signals. Operating at up to 1 MHz, this interface is supported by virtually all general-purpose microcontrollers and provides simple, reliable communication with minimal pin count.
How durable is the 93LC66B-I/SN in terms of write cycles and data retention?
The 93LC66B-I/SN is rated for a minimum of 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per location and more than 200 years of data retention. These ratings exceed the requirements of most embedded applications, ensuring reliable non-volatile storage throughout the product lifetime even in applications with frequent data updates.
What package is the 93LC66B-I/SN supplied in and is it RoHS compliant?
The 93LC66B-I/SN is supplied in an SOIC-8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 8-pin) surface-mount package, compliant with JEDEC standard JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G8. The device carries a Pb-free (JESD-609 e3) designation, confirming RoHS compliance for use in lead-free manufacturing environments.
What are common applications for the 93LC66B-I/SN?
The 93LC66B-I/SN is commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial controllers, and office equipment for storing configuration registers, calibration data, and small user datasets. Its standard Microwire interface and SOIC-8 form factor make it a drop-in replacement in many existing designs and a popular choice for new embedded storage requirements.
