93LC66C-I

Microchip Tech · Pre-ordered Chips · MSOP-8

93LC66C-I from Microchip Tech, in a MSOP-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 CS input Chip Select: a high level selects the device, a low level deselects it and forces Standby mode, and CS must be low for 250 ns minimum (TCSL) between consecutive instructions.
2 CLK input Serial Clock that synchronizes host communication, with opcodes, address and data bits clocked in (and data clocked out) on the positive edge of CLK.
3 DI input Serial Data In, used to clock in the Start bit, opcode, address and data synchronously with CLK.
4 DO tri_state Serial Data Out, outputs read data synchronously with CLK and provides Ready/Busy status during erase and write cycles, and is High-Z when status is not available.
5 VSS power_in Ground.
6 ORG input Memory organization select on the 93LC66C: tied to VCC or logic high selects x16, tied to VSS or logic low selects x8, and it must be tied to a valid logic level.
7 NC unconnected No internal connection.
8 VCC power_in Power supply, 2.5V to 5.5V for the 93LC66 devices.
