BR93C86-WMN6TP

Memory IC Overview

The BR93C86-WMN6TP is a 16-Kbit Microwire serial access EEPROM manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. It features a single-supply voltage operation range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and supports clock frequencies up to 2 MHz. The device is available in an 8-SOP package with a tape and reel configuration. It offers dual organization options, allowing data storage by word (x16) or byte (x8). The memory type is non-volatile, ensuring data retention without power.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports industry-standard Microwire bus interface for serial communication
• Operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V
• Provides dual memory organization flexibility for byte or word access

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring non-volatile storage
• Configuration parameter storage in embedded controllers
• Calibration data retention in industrial instrumentation

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Rohm Semiconductor, distinct from STMicroelectronics M93C86 variants which share similar pinouts but differ in internal architecture. Confirm the suffix indicates the 8-SOP package and tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure compatibility with Microwire protocol requirements rather than SPI interfaces when integrating into existing designs.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust Microwire compatibility within a compact 8-pin surface-mount form factor. The 16-Kbit capacity suits moderate data storage needs where high-speed SPI is not mandatory. Consider the 2.5 V to 5.5 V operating range for versatility across different logic levels in mixed-voltage systems.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the BR93Cxx series of serial EEPROMs from Rohm Semiconductor. It is functionally comparable to other 16-Kbit Microwire devices but specific to Rohm's manufacturing specifications. The BR93C86 variant provides 16,384 bits of storage organized as 2K x 8 or 1K x 16 words.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with BR93C86-WMN6P for lead-free variations if RoHS compliance is required. Verify electrical equivalence with STMicroelectronics M93C86-WMN6TP only after confirming Microwire timing parameters match system requirements.
