16Kbit, 8Kbit, 4Kbit, 2Kbit and 1Kbit (8-bit or 16-bit wide) MICROWIRE® Serial Access EEPROM
The M93C86 is a 16‑Kbit (8‑bit or 16‑bit wide) MICROWIRE® serial EEPROM offering industry‑standard bus operation, single‑supply voltage options, and self‑timed programming with auto‑erase. It supports both byte (x8) and word (x16) organization selectable via the ORG pin, and provides up to 1 MHz or 2 MHz clock rates with corresponding write times of 10 ms and 5 ms.
Key features include more than 1 million erase/write cycles, over 40 years of data retention, enhanced ESD/latch‑up behavior, and power‑on data protection that disables write operations until the supply voltage reaches a valid level.
| Memory capacity | 16 Kbit (2048 bytes, 1024 words) |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (M93Cx6) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V |
| Supply voltage (M93Cx6‑W) | 2.5 V to 5.5 V |
| Supply voltage (M93Cx6‑R) | 1.8 V to 5.5 V |
| Endurance | > 1 million erase/write cycles |

The M93C86 operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V for the standard version, 2.5 V to 5.5 V for the W version, and 1.8 V to 5.5 V for the R version.
At a 1 MHz clock rate, a write operation takes 10 ms.
The device is rated for more than one million erase/write cycles.
Data can be retained for more than 40 years.
