Q & A
- What is the memory organization of the CAT93C56VI-G?
The CAT93C56VI-G can be organized as either 128 registers of 16 bits or 256 registers of 8 bits, depending on the configuration of the ORG pin.
- What is the supply voltage range for the CAT93C56VI-G?
The supply voltage range is from 1.8 V to 5.5 V.
- What is the maximum clock frequency for the CAT93C56VI-G?
The maximum clock frequency is 2 MHz.
- How many program/erase cycles can the CAT93C56VI-G endure?
The device can endure up to 1,000,000 program/erase cycles.
- What is the data retention period for the CAT93C56VI-G?
The data retention period is 100 years.
- What types of packages are available for the CAT93C56VI-G?
The device is available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP, and 8-pad TDFN packages.
- Is the CAT93C56VI-G RoHS compliant?
- What are the key features of the CAT93C56VI-G?
- What are some common applications for the CAT93C56VI-G?
- How does the ORG pin affect the memory organization?
The ORG pin determines the memory organization; when connected to VCC, it selects x16 organization, and when connected to GND, it selects x8 organization. If left unconnected, it defaults to x16 organization due to an internal pull-up device.
