Product details

1Kbit Microwire EEPROM in 8-TSSOP

The Microchip 93LC46A-I/ST is a 1Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 128 x 8 bits, communicating over a Microwire interface at up to 2 MHz. Packaged in an 8-TSSOP, it is a surface-mount device suited for board-level configuration storage — calibration constants, device IDs, or small lookup tables — where non-volatile retention is required.

Industrial temperature rating and deployment

The extended range means data retention is guaranteed across the thermal cycling typical of unheated enclosures or near heat-generating components.

Write cycle and memory organization

Word and page writes complete in 6 ms. For a 128-byte memory, that is fast enough for infrequent parameter updates — think calibration trim values or serial numbers written once per product life. The 128 x 8 organization is byte-addressable, which simplifies firmware integration compared to word-only organizations.

Frequently asked questions

What are the equivalents or second sources for 93LC46A-I/ST?

The 93LC46CT-I/SN is a 3 MHz variant with the same 1Kbit density and industrial temperature range, but in an 8-SOIC package. None are exact pin-for-pin drop-ins due to package differences — verify the footprint before substitution.

Is 93LC46A-I/ST RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is listed as ROHS3 compliant.
