Description
The AT93C46/56/66 provides 1024/2048/4096 bits of serial electrically erasable pro-
grammable read only memory (EEPROM) organized as 64/128/256 words of 16 bits
each, when the ORG pin is connected to VCC and 128/256/512 words of 8 bits each
when it is tied to ground. The device is optimized for use in many automotive applica-
tions where low power and low voltage operations are essential. The AT93C46/56/66
is available in space-saving 8-lead PDIP and 8-lead JEDEC SOIC packages. The
AT93C46/56/66 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS), and accessed via a
3-wire serial interface consisting of Data Input (DI), Data Output (DO), and Shift Clock
(SK). Upon receiving a Read instruction at DI, the address is decoded and the data is
clocked out serially on the data output pin DO. The WRITE cycle is completely self-
timed and no separate erase cycle is required before write. The Write cycle is only
enabled when it is in the Erase/Write Enable state. When CS is brought “high” follow-
ing the initiation of a write cycle, the DO pin outputs the Ready/Busy status.
The AT93C46/56/66 is available in 4.5V to 5.5V and 2.7V to 5.5V versions.

*NOTICE:
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maxi-
mum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other condi-
tions beyond those indicated in the operational sec-
tions of this specification is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability
Figure 1.
Block Diagram
Note:
When the ORG pin is connected to VCC, the “x 16” organization is selected. When it is connected to ground, the “x 8” organiza-
tion is selected. If the ORG pin is left unconnected and the application does not load the input beyond the capability of the
internal 1 Meg ohm pullup, then the “x 16” organization is selected.
For the AT93C46, if “x 16” organization is the mode of choice and Pin 6 (ORG) is left unconnected, Atmel recommends
using the AT93C46A device. For more details, see the AT93C46A datasheet.
