FT93C56A-USR-T Integrated Circuits (ICs)

FT93C56A-USR-T belongs to the family of Memory devices and is a high-performance 8K Non-Volatile CMOS EEPROM with various functions. It is designed for applications demanding fast data rate, high capacity and good temperature performance. It is widely used for industrial control and system configuration, automotive, medical and home appliances.

The FT93C56A-USR-T features a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and operates in either the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or the Microwire modes. It contains a Memory array of 8Kbit (1Kbyte) organized as 8192 words by 8 bits. The Memory array is organized into 32 pages of 256 words each. Data can be written to or read from the Memory array in byte or page mode.

The FT93C56A-USR-T device is a self-timed access memory device that allows data to be written and read using a serial and/or parallel port. It includes a number of features to increase the speed of read and write operations. The device can store up to 8K bits of data and can be accessed at different speeds according to the voltage used. It has an internal protection logic to prevent unintentional write and erase operations.

The FT93C56A-USR-T device is programmed with a two-wire serial interface or optionally a three-wire serial interface. Write operations are carried out by loading 8-bit data into the Data Register. After data is loaded, the WREN signal is activated and the data is written, typically in 11 ms. Read operations are activated by loading the address into the Address Register. Once the RDEN signal is activated, the data is clocked out of the serial port, typically in 8 ms.

The FT93C56A-USR-T device is automatically programmed by the application of a write Enable signal, followed by the write cycle Data or the Page Load operation. Then, during the write cycle, data is written serially using the serial interface. The write operation is fully self-timed, and any number of consecutive bytes or words can be written if the start and end addresses are specified. Data is programmed when the write inhibit signals are removed.

An internal Sensor detects when the voltage has reached the programming voltage, and turns on the Erase/Write Lamp. The Erase/Write Lamp indicates when the device is successfully programmed. Once programmed, the data is non-volatile, meaning it will not be erased when the device is turned off.

The security features of the FT93C56A-USR-T include data protection (9/6 areas), sector erasability, program/erase cycle endurance and software data protection. Data protection allows data to be securely stored in the device, by defining areas of the device that can only be read or write enable by authorized security keys. Sector erasability allows segments of the device to be erased, while the remaining area remains untouched.

The FT93C56A-USR-T is an ideal choice for design engineers who need a reliable, high-performance memory device with an easy-to-use interface. Its simple write and read functions, increased data speed and strong security make this device suitable for a wide range of applications.
