93LC56CT-I/SN Integrated Circuits (ICs)

Introduction

The 93LC56CT-I/SN is an 8k-bit Microchip Technology Serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) which is used for non-volatile storage and data management. This device enables the storage of up to 8K bits of data, including text, tables, bitmaps, icons, and other code-specified data. In addition to its low power consumption, the 93LC56CT-I/SN also offers a wide operating voltage range, an SPI/QSPI interface, and an internal write protection feature.

Application field

The 93LC56CT-I/SN is suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, battery-powered systems, medical controllers, appliance controllers, and industrial control applications, as well as personal and office equipment. It can be used to store configuration or application data, or to achieve persistent data storage. In addition, it can also be used with data bus networks, embedded systems, or any application requiring non-volatile memory.

Working Principles

The 93LC56CT-I/SN is a serial EEPROM that can be used for applications that require a high-performance, low-power, electrically-erasable memory. It is a three-wire device with a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI®)/Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (QSPI®)/or Microwire serial interface, and includes an on-board write protection circuit.

The 93LC56CT-I/SN EEPROM utilizes the SPI/QSPI/Microwire interface for both read and write operations. The instruction set for the 93LC56CT-I/SN is compatible with most popular microcontrollers and is designed to be easy to use. Instructions are issued as control bytes, data bytes, and/or address bytes. The device can be operated in either a single-byte mode or multi-byte mode, and in either case, the instruction set is the same.

The Internally-controlled Write Protection Circuit (IWC) allows write operations to the memory to be either enabled or disabled. This circuit takes advantage of an externally-available voltage, allowing the write protection to be configured to either prevent writing or allow writing, depending on the applied voltage.

The 93LC56CT-I/SN EEPROM also includes a Sleep and Wake mode, allowing the device to enter a low-power state when not in use. This mode can be used to reduce power consumption when the device is not being actively used.

Conclusion

The 93LC56CT-I/SN is an 8k-bit Microchip Technology Serial EEPROM that is suitable for use in a variety of applications requiring non-volatile memory. It is compatible with the SPI/QSPI/Microwire interface and has an on-board write protection circuit. This device also has a low-power Sleep and Wake mode, allowing it to reduce power consumption when not in use.
