Overview
The CAT93C86VI-GT3 is a 16-Kb Serial EEPROM memory device manufactured by onsemi. This device is highly versatile, allowing configuration as either registers of 16 bits or 8 bits, depending on the state of the ORG pin. When the ORG pin is connected to VCC, the device operates in x16 mode, and when connected to GND, it operates in x8 mode. The CAT93C86VI-GT3 is built using onsemi’s advanced CMOS EEPROM floating gate technology, ensuring high reliability and durability.
The device features a single power supply operation from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also includes several protective features such as hardware and software write protection, power-up inadvertent write protection, and sequential read capabilities. The CAT93C86VI-GT3 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package and is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant.
