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. |

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.
