FT93C56A-ISR-T

Overview

The FT93C56A-ISR-T is a non-volatile EEPROM memory IC manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It offers a storage capacity of 2Kbit, organized as 256 x 8 or 128 x 16 bits. The device features a 3-wire serial interface with a clock frequency of 2 MHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports write cycle times of 10ms per word or page. The component is housed in an 8-SOP (Small Outline Package) with dimensions of 0.173 inches (4.40mm) width. It is designed for surface mount installation and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile data retention with 2Kbit storage capacity using EEPROM technology.
• Supports high-speed 3-wire serial communication with a 2 MHz clock rate.
• Operates with a wide supply voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V for flexible system integration.
• Ensures reliable performance in industrial environments with extended temperature ratings.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring small-scale non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control devices needing parameter retention
• Consumer electronics with configuration memory requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pinout compatibility before integration. Confirm that the 3-wire serial interface matches the host controller's capabilities. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply. Check for RoHS compliance if required by environmental regulations. Validate the lead time and availability status with authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2Kbit EEPROM is needed with a 3-wire interface. Consider the 8-SOP package for surface mount applications. Evaluate the 1.8V to 5.5V supply range against system constraints. Compare the 2 MHz speed against other available options. Verify temperature range suitability for the intended environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT93CxxA series of EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It shares functional similarities with other members like the FT93C46A and FT93C66A, differing primarily in storage capacity. The series is designed for cost-effective, low-pin-count memory solutions in embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include FT93C56A-IDR-B and FT93C56A-UTR-T from the same manufacturer. Cross-brand alternatives may require interface and voltage verification.
