Overview
The M93C56-MN6T is an electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM) device produced by STMicroelectronics. This component is part of the M93C series, which includes various memory capacities such as 1 Kbit, 2 Kbit, 4 Kbit, 8 Kbit, and 16 Kbit. The M93C56-MN6T specifically offers 2 Kbit of memory, organized into either 256 bytes (x8) or 128 words (x16), and is accessed through the industry-standard MICROWIRE™ bus protocol. It is designed for general-purpose applications requiring non-volatile memory, such as embedded systems, industrial control, and consumer electronics.
