93LC46BX-I

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · SOIC-8

93LC46BX-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No internal connection on this rotated-pinout SOIC; the 93XX46A/B devices (including 93LC46B) have no internal connection on this pin.
2 VCC power_in Power supply; the 93LC46B is specified for VCC of 2.5-5.5 V per the device selection table.
3 CS input Chip Select: a high level selects the device and a low level deselects it and forces Standby mode; CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between consecutive instructions.
4 CLK input Serial Clock that synchronizes communication; opcodes, address and data bits are clocked in on the positive edge of CLK, and data bits are clocked out on the positive edge.
5 DI input Serial Data Input used to clock in a Start bit, opcode, address and data synchronously with CLK.
6 DO output Serial Data Output that outputs read data synchronously with CLK (TPD after the positive edge of CLK) and provides Ready/Busy status during erase and write cycles when CS is brought high after TCSL.
7 VSS power_in Ground reference for the device.
8 ORG/NC unconnected ORG is the organization select only on 93XX46C devices; on 93XX46A/B devices, including 93LC46B, this pin is No Internal Connection.
