Product details
Overview
AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1K-bit three-wire serial EEPROM with user-selectable 128 × 8 or 64 × 16 organization, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V supply, featuring 2 MHz clock rate at 5V, self-timed 10 ms max write cycle, and automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in an 8-lead Miniature Array Package (MAP). It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 datasheet, AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 pinout, AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 application, or AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation down to 1.8V, dual-word-width flexibility via ORG pin, 1 million write endurance, 100-year data retention, and lead-free/halogen-free 8Y1 MAP package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8 implements a synchronous three-wire serial interface (CS, SK, DI/DO) with start-bit–driven instruction decoding. Its internal architecture supports two memory organizations selected by the ORG pin: 128 words × 8 bits (ORG = GND) or 64 words × 16 bits (ORG = VCC), with unconnected ORG defaulting to x16 mode only on 2.7V variants-not applicable to this 1.8V-rated device.
Write operations require explicit EWEN instruction prior to ERASE or WRITE; all programming is self-timed with DO pin reporting Ready/Busy status when CS is raised mid-cycle. The device lacks an erase-before-write requirement and supports full-array ERAL/WRAL instructions-valid only at VCC ≥ 4.5V, thus not active under typical 1.8V operation.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; high state places DO in high-impedance |
| SK | Serial Clock | Input-only; rising edge samples DI and shifts DO; timing governed by tSKH/tSKL min values |
| DI | Data Input | Serial instruction and address/data input; latched on SK rising edge; requires tDIS/tDIH setup/hold |
| DO | Data Output | Open-drain output; drives data during READ; reports Ready/Busy when CS high mid-cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; low-impedance connection critical for timing stability |
| ORG | Organization Select | Hardwired to VCC or GND to select x16 or x8 mode; not functional on 1.8V devices per datasheet note |
| DC | Don't Connect | No internal connection; must remain floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout guidelines; not usable as NC |
Key Features

Use Value: Low standby current (0.1 µA at 1.8V) extends 10-year battery life; x16 organization stores 64-byte keys efficiently. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95128-WMN6TP | 128 Kbit (16K × 8), SPI interface, 2.5–5.5V, 20 MHz clock, WLCSP package | Higher density, faster interface, smaller footprint - suited for designs needing >1K storage or higher throughput | Select when migrating to SPI-based platforms or requiring >10× capacity; not pin-compatible |
| AT25010B-SSHL-T | 1 Kbit, SPI interface, 1.8–5.5V, 10 MHz clock, 8-lead SOIC | Different protocol (SPI vs. Microwire), same voltage range and density - offers broader distributor availability | Choose for legacy SPI designs or where SOIC package is preferred over MAP; requires firmware interface change |
Compared with AT93C46Y1-10YI-1.8, M95128-WMN6TP delivers 128× more memory and 10× faster clock but uses SPI and WLCSP packaging, while AT25010B-SSHL-T retains 1K density and 1.8V support but mandates SPI driver adaptation and SOIC board space - neither is drop-in replaceable.
