93C56N 2Kbit 3-Wire Serial CMOS EEPROM 5V 2mA PDIP-8
The 93C56N (93C56 series) is a 2Kbit low-voltage, 3-wire serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). Manufactured using advanced CMOS technology, it provides an efficient and reliable storage solution for low-power, nonvolatile memory applications. Depending on the circuit implementation, the device operates in a dedicated 8-bit word organization (256 x 8-bit), a dedicated 16-bit word organization (128 x 16-bit), or a user-selectable word size controlled via an external ORG pin.
Features
- Low-Power CMOS Technology
- Memory Capacity: 2Kbit (2048 bits) organized as 256 x 8-bit, 128 x 16-bit, or selectable word size via ORG pin
- Microwire-compatible 3-Wire Serial I/O Interface
- Hardware Ready/Busy status signal output via DO pin
- Sequential Read functionality
