Atmel AT93C56A/AT93C66A Datasheet
The AT93C56A/AT93C66A are serial electrically‑erasable programmable read‑only memory (EEPROM) devices offering 2 Kb or 4 Kb of storage. They operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and support a three‑wire serial interface for read, write, and erase operations.
The datasheet provides absolute‑maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, pin configurations, timing diagrams, and mechanical dimensions for both 8‑lead SOIC and 8‑lead TSSOP packages. It also lists the instruction set used to control the device.
