DESCRIPTION

This specification covers a range of 2K bit serial EEPROM products, the ST93C56, 56C specified at 5V ± 10% and the ST93C57C specified at 3V to 5.5V. In the text, products are referred to as ST93C56.

The ST93C56 is a 2K bit Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory (EEPROM) fabricated with SGS-THOMSON’s High EnduranceSingle Polysilicon CMOS technology. The memory is accessed

through a serial input (D) and output (Q). The 2K bit memory is divided into either 256 x 8 bit bytes or 128 x 16 bit words. The organization may be selected by a signal applied on the ORG input.

1 MILLION ERASE/WRITE CYCLES, with 40 YEARS DATA RETENTION
