Product details

1Kbit EEPROM with a simple serial interface

The Microchip 93LC46BT/SN is a 1Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 64 words of 16 bits each, accessed through a Microwire (3-wire) synchronous interface. This part is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (0.154" width, 3.90 mm body) and is offered on Tape & Reel for automated assembly.

The 2 MHz clock rate is the maximum for the Microwire interface. At this speed a full 16-bit read or write completes in about 8 µs plus the 6 ms write cycle (which is internal and does not tie up the bus). For storing calibration constants, serial numbers, or small configuration tables that are read at power-up and written infrequently, the throughput is adequate. If you need to stream data or poll the part faster than a few hundred reads per second, a higher-speed SPI EEPROM would be a better fit.

Active lifecycle — no EOL concern for new designs

It is ROHS3 compliant.

If your design must survive -40°C cold starts or +85°C enclosures, look at the industrial-temperature siblings (93LC46BT-I/MC or 93LC46BXT-I/SN) which cover -40°C to 85°C.

Frequently asked questions

93LC46BT/SN vs 93LC46B – what is the difference?

The 93LC46B/SN is the tube-packaged sibling of the 93LC46BT/SN. The only difference is the shipping medium: the 'T' suffix in 93LC46BT/SN indicates Tape & Reel packaging, while the 93LC46B/SN ships in a tube.

What is the equivalent or cross reference for 93LC46BT/SN?

For a pin-compatible drop-in with the same 8-SOIC footprint, the 93LC46BXT-I/SN covers the industrial temperature range. Neither is an exact second-source from another manufacturer; they are Microchip family variants.
