FT93C56A-UTR-T

Overview

The FT93C56A-UTR-T is a non-volatile EEPROM memory integrated circuit 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 utilizes a 3-wire serial interface with a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. The component is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile data retention for embedded applications
• Supports high-speed 3-wire serial communication
• Operates across a wide voltage range for flexibility
• Designed for industrial temperature environments

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring small data storage
• Industrial control devices
• Consumer electronics with configuration memory needs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'UTR' indicates the tape and reel packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the manufacturer Fremont Micro Devices Ltd is the intended source, as equivalents exist from other vendors. Ensure the 8-TSSOP package footprint matches the design layout. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2Kbit EEPROM with a 3-wire interface is required. It is suitable for designs needing operation down to 1.8V. Compare against the FT93C46A (1Kbit) or FT93C66A (4Kbit) variants if different capacities are needed. Ensure the host controller supports the specific 3-wire protocol timing.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT93CxxA series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It is functionally compatible with the Microchip AT93C56 family. The 'A' suffix typically denotes enhanced features or revisions compared to older versions. The UTR suffix specifies the reel packaging type for automated assembly.
