Product details
Overview
AT93C46Y1-10YU-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, 10 ms max self-timed write cycle, and automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It is used for configuration storage in embedded controllers, sensor calibration data retention, and boot parameter storage in space-constrained industrial modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 datasheet, AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 pinout, AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 application, or AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 equivalent, key selection considerations include low-voltage operation down to 1.8V, ORG-pin configurable memory width, dBGA2™ package footprint compatibility, and 1 million write endurance for infrequent but critical updates.
Technical Context
The AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 implements a synchronous three-wire interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with start-bit–driven instruction decoding and supports READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL, and WRAL commands. Its internal organization is selected via the ORG pin: logic high enables 64 × 16 mode; grounded enables 128 × 8 mode; unconnected defaults to x16 only on non-1.8V variants - thus ORG functionality is disabled on this 1.8V-rated part.
Write operations require prior EWEN execution and are self-timed (tWP ≤ 10 ms), with Ready/Busy status readable on DO after CS high assertion. The device features no separate erase cycle, supports full-array erase/write at VCC = 4.5–5.5V, and maintains data for 100 years with 1M endurance cycles under specified conditions.

Pinout & Package
AT93C46Y1-10YU-1.8 uses an 8-ball dBGA2™ package (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts and automated assembly. Pin mapping follows standard three-wire serial EEPROM topology with dedicated control and data lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; determines device activation window |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge samples DI, falling edge outputs DO |
| DI | Data Input | Receives start bit, op code, address, and write data; latched on SK rising edge |
| DO | Data Output | Serially outputs read data or Ready/Busy status; high-impedance when CS high |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8–5.5V input; powers internal logic and charge pump for write operations |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry |
| ORG | Organization Select | Not functional on 1.8V version - fixed x8/x16 configuration determined by factory mask option |
| DC | No Connect | Internally unused terminal; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-wire serial interface | Reduces MCU GPIO count and PCB routing complexity vs. SPI/I²C; compatible with legacy microcontrollers lacking dedicated peripherals |
