93LC76CT-I/MC

The Microchip Technology 93LC76CT-I/MC is an 8Kbit Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device. It features a low-power CMOS technology and communicates via the industry-standard 3-wire serial Microwire interface. This device offers a memory organization of 1K x 8 or 512 x 16 bits, selectable via external logic levels on the ORG pin for '76C' versions, though this specific part number does not explicitly indicate 'C' version features. It operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Designed for nonvolatile memory applications, the 93LC76CT-I/MC boasts features such as self-timed erase/write cycles with automatic erase before write, and power-on/off data protection circuitry. It has a data retention capability exceeding 200 years and can withstand 1,000,000 erase/write cycles. The device is available in an 8-DFN (2x3) surface-mount package, specifically an 8-VFDFN Exposed Pad, making it suitable for compact electronic designs.

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum clock frequency of 3 MHz and a write cycle time of 5ms. The device status signal indicates ready/busy states, and a sequential read function is supported. Its low-power consumption makes it ideal for various embedded systems requiring reliable nonvolatile data storage.
