93C46B-E/P

93C46B-E/P is a type of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). It is an integrated circuit (IC) memory chip designed to store data on an electronic device and it is commonly used in the fields of industrial control, automotive, military and aerospace electronic systems. This memory chip can be found in microprocessor-based systems, embedded controllers or in any other circuit in which non-volatile memory is required.

93C46B-E/P ATMEL provides 8K (8000bits) of EEPROM memory organized as 32 pages, each page contains 256 bits (32 bytes). Furthermore, each page has its own page address, page write protection and page erase virtual protection.

The 93C46B-E/P features several features such as low voltage programming and self-timed programming algorithms to assist with programming operations. Additionally, when the low voltage mode is enabled, the device can operate at 3.2V. The device operates with the I²C protocol which allows permission to have maximum four slaves in the same bus. Additionally, the device offers two-wire communication interface for two-way communication between the master and slave nodes.

In terms of energy efficiency, 93C46B-E/P has an extremely low power stand-by mode which allows it to consume a few μA of current. In comparison to other flash and EEPROM devices, a 93C46B-E/P device only consumes 5μA of current in stand-by mode making it the ideal choice for energy-constrained devices.

In terms of the working principle, 93C46B-E/P is an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. It operates on a simple principle where data is written into the chip in blocks of 8 bytes, which are then electrically erased by applying an appropriate voltage. The data is then read out using a processor or write controller and stored in memory or taken from memory to be re-written into the chip.

The 93C46B-E/P is used in a variety of applications such as industrial control systems, automotive, military and aerospace electronic systems, consumer electronic devices, etc. It is perfect for storing data that must be non-volatile and requires very little current draw. The low power stand-by mode makes it an ideal choice for energy-constrained devices.

In summary, the 93C46B-E/P is a popular form of memory chip used in fields such as industrial control, automotive, military and aerospace. It features low voltage programming and self-timed programming algorithms to assist with programming operations and has an extremely low power stand-by mode. It operates on the I²C protocol and offers two-wire communication interface for two-way communication. It is perfect for storing data that must be non-volatile and requires very little current draw.
