93LC46BT-I

Microchip · EEPROM · SOIC-8-150mil

93LC46BT-I from Microchip, in a SOIC-8-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS input Chip Select. Active-high; a logic 1 selects the device, a logic 0 deselects and forces standby. CS must be low for at least 250 ns (TCSL) between consecutive instructions.
2 CLK input Serial Data Clock. Synchronizes master-to-slave communication. Opcodes, address and data bits are latched on the rising edge; data is clocked out on the rising edge. Max FCLK = 3 MHz at VCC ≥ 4.5 V (2 MHz at VCC ≥ 2.5 V).
3 DI input Serial Data Input. Clocks in the Start bit, opcode, address and write data synchronously with CLK. VIH ≥ 2.0 V (VCC ≥ 2.7 V) or 0.7·VCC (VCC < 2.7 V).
4 DO tri_state Serial Data Output. Outputs read data synchronously with CLK (TPD after rising edge). Also drives Ready/BUSY status during erase/write cycles when CS is brought high (BUSY = 0, Ready = 1). High-Z when idle.
5 VSS power_in Ground reference for all logic and supply. All input/output levels referenced to VSS.
6 NC unconnected No Internal Connection on 93XX46A/B devices (this pin is the ORG memory-configuration input only on the 93XX46C variant). Leave floating or tie to VSS.
7 NC unconnected No Internal Connection. May be left floating.
8 VCC power_in Power supply, 2.5 V to 5.5 V for 93LC-family (industrial temp). Typical read current 500 µA @ 3.0 V / 2 MHz; standby current typ. 1 µA (I-temp). Decouple with a 0.1 µF capacitor to VSS.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
93lc46bt-i.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
93lc46bt-i-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with 93LC46BT-I already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 498 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
