Q & A
- What is the memory size of the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The M93C86-WMN6TP has a memory size of 16 Kbit, which can be organized as 2048 bytes or 1024 words.
- What is the operating voltage range for the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The device operates within a voltage supply range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V for the M93Cx6-W version and 1.8 V to 5.5 V for the M93Cx6-R version.
- What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The device supports a clock frequency of up to 2 MHz.
- What is the ambient operating temperature range for the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The device operates over an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.
- How many write cycles can the M93C86-WMN6TP endure?
The device can endure more than 4 million write cycles at temperatures up to 25 °C.
- What is the data retention period for the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The device has a data retention period of more than 200 years.
- What types of packages are available for the M93C86-WMN6TP?
The device is available in SO8N, TSSOP8, and UFDFPN8 (DFN8) packages.
- Is the M93C86-WMN6TP RoHS compliant?
- How does the READY/BUSY signal work during programming?
The READY/BUSY signal indicates the status of the programming cycle. When the signal is high (READY), the device is ready to receive the next instruction. When it is low (BUSY), the device is in the process of programming.
- What is the purpose of the Organization Select (ORG) input?
The Organization Select (ORG) input allows the user to select between byte (x8) and word (x16) organization. Setting ORG to VSS selects x8 organization, and setting it to VCC selects x16 organization.
