Product details

The Microchip 93C66B-I/MS is a 4 Kbit serial EEPROM using the three-wire Microwire interface, organized as 256 x 16 bits.

The 2 MHz clock rate is the Microwire bus speed, not a core oscillator — it sets the bit-transfer rate for read/write operations. For a 4 Kbit device that means a full-chip read completes in about 2 ms at 2 MHz, fast enough for calibration-parameter fetch at power-up or periodic sensor-trim updates. The 2 ms write cycle (word or page) is the time the part is busy after a write command; the host must wait or poll the READY/BUSY status before the next operation. In a system with a 5 V MCU running a 10 MHz SPI bus, the Microwire interface is slower but simpler — no complex command sequences, just chip select, clock, and data in/out.

RoHS3 compliance covers the EU directive's latest substance restrictions, so it passes the environmental gate for commercial and industrial products shipping into Europe.

Frequently asked questions

Is 93C66B-I/MS obsolete or EOL?

It is safe to specify for new production.

What is the closest functional second-source for 93C66B-I/MS?

The 93C66BT-I/MC is the tape-and-reel surface-mount variant in an 8-DFN package. Neither is a direct pin-for-pin second source from another manufacturer; for a true second-source, check the STMicroelectronics M93C66 series (same Microwire protocol, similar timing) but verify the package and supply range against your BOM.
