Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. 93XX56A/B/C devices
are 2K bit low-voltage serial Electrically Erasable
PROMs (EEPROM). Word-selectable devices such as
the 93AA56C, 93LC56C or 93C56C are dependent
upon external logic levels driving the ORG pin to set
word size. For dedicated 8-bit communication, the
93XX56A devices are available, while the 93XX56B
devices provide dedicated 16-bit communication.
Advanced CMOS technology makes these devices
ideal for low-power, nonvolatile memory applications.
The entire 93XX Series is available in standard
packages including 8-lead PDIP and SOIC, and
advanced packaging including 8-lead MSOP, 6-lead
SOT-23, 8-lead 2x3 DFN and 8-lead TSSOP. All
packages are Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

NOTICE:
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
