Key Features

  • 16 Kbit SPI EEPROM with selectable 1024x16 or 2048x8 word organization for flexible data width matching
  • Up to 2 MHz SPI clock frequency with 1,000,000 write/erase cycle endurance and 200-year minimum data retention
  • Compact 8-pin MSOP package enabling ultra-small PCB footprint for space-constrained portable and IoT designs

Applications

The 93LC86C-I/MS is used in embedded systems requiring small, non-volatile serial memory for storing configuration parameters, device IDs, and calibration data accessed via a standard 3-wire SPI interface. Its 16 Kbit capacity and 2 MHz clock rate are well-suited for microcontroller-based designs in smart meters, consumer electronics, and industrial sensors where EEPROM must coexist with other SPI peripherals on a shared bus. The compact MSOP-8 footprint and 200-year data retention support long-lifetime deployments in remote IoT nodes and battery-powered wearable devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two memory organization options of the 93LC86C-I/MS and when would you choose each?

The 93LC86C-I/MS can be configured as 1024 words x 16 bits or 2048 words x 8 bits by setting the ORG pin. The 16-bit organization suits applications that store 16-bit integer values like calibration coefficients or sensor offsets in a single read operation, while the 8-bit organization is preferred when the host microcontroller uses byte-wide memory accesses or stores ASCII configuration strings, maximizing address space with 2048 individually accessible byte locations.

How does the 93LC86C-I/MS compare to I²C EEPROMs for SPI-dominant embedded designs?

The 93LC86C-I/MS uses a 3-wire SPI-compatible interface (clock, data-in, data-out plus chip-select) running at up to 2 MHz, which integrates seamlessly into SPI-dominant MCU designs without requiring a dedicated I²C peripheral or address configuration resistors. Compared to I²C EEPROMs, the SPI variant eliminates bus contention and clock-stretching concerns on multi-master systems, making it a drop-in fit for designs where all peripherals already share a single SPI bus.

What endurance and data retention does the 93LC86C-I/MS guarantee for industrial logging applications?

The 93LC86C-I/MS guarantees a minimum of 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per cell and a minimum 200-year data retention period under standard operating conditions. For an industrial data logger updating 10 EEPROM locations per hour, this endurance translates to over 11 years of continuous operation before reaching the write cycle limit, making it suitable for long-deployment metering, equipment hour counters, and adaptive calibration storage.

What package does the 93LC86C-I/MS use and how small is its PCB footprint?

The 93LC86C-I/MS is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), which measures approximately 3 mm x 3 mm with a 0.65 mm lead pitch. This footprint is roughly half the board area of a standard SOIC-8 package, making it the preferred choice for PCB layouts in compact wearables, hearing aids, wireless sensor nodes, and portable medical devices where every square millimeter of board space is premium.
