Product details
Overview
AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 4-kbit serial EEPROM with three-wire interface, 1.8V to 5.5V supply operation, user-selectable 512 × 8 or 256 × 16 organization via ORG pin, and automotive-grade reliability. It delivers 1 million write cycles and 100-year data retention for nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded control modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 datasheet, AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 pinout, AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 application, or AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage compatibility (1.8V min), self-timed 10 ms write cycle, standby current ≤0.1 µA at 1.8V, and support for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 implements a synchronous three-wire serial interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with start-bit–driven instruction decoding. It supports seven instructions-READ, EWEN, ERASE, WRITE, ERAL, WRAL, and EWDS-with address lengths of 9 bits (x8) or 8 bits (x16), and includes internal logic to enforce Erase/Write Enable state before programming.
Its dual-voltage capability enables operation across 1.8V–5.5V without external level shifting. The ORG pin selects memory organization, while DC pin must be left unconnected. Ready/Busy status is reported on DO during CS high after write/erase initiation, enabling host polling without fixed timing delays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4096 bits (512 × 8 or 256 × 16), enabling compact storage of calibration data or device IDs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V logic and legacy 3.3V/5V systems |
| Write Cycle Time | Max 10 ms - self-timed; no external delay required, simplifies firmware timing control |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - suitable for frequent field updates such as sensor offset correction |
| Data Retention | 100 years at 25°C - ensures long-term validity of stored configuration across product lifetime |
| Standby Current | ≤0.1 µA at VCC = 1.8V - critical for battery-powered applications like smart meters or wearables |

Pinout & Package
AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide body, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; initiates communication on rising edge |
| SK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all data transfers; max frequency 2 MHz at 5V, 0.25 MHz at 1.8V |
| DI | Data Input | Serial instruction and address input; sampled on SK rising edge |
| DO | Data Output | Serial data output during READ; reports Ready/Busy status when CS goes high mid-cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V supply; powers internal logic and EEPROM array |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and supply |
| ORG | Organization Select | Connect to VCC for 256 × 16 mode, GND for 512 × 8 mode; not functional on 1.8V-only variants per datasheet note |
| DC | Don't Connect | No internal connection; must be left floating - tying to VCC or GND may cause undefined behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-wire serial interface | Reduces PCB routing complexity vs. SPI/I²C; requires only CS, SK, DI, DO - no bidirectional lines or pull-ups needed |
| User-selectable memory organization | Hardware-configurable 512×8 or 256×16 layout allows optimal byte- or word-aligned access without firmware remapping |
| Self-timed write cycle | Eliminates need for precise software timing loops or external wait-state generation; host polls DO for completion |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 at 1.8V?
The AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 0.25 MHz when operating at 1.8V, as specified in Table 4 of the datasheet. This limit ensures reliable setup/hold timing margins for DI and DO signals under low-voltage conditions. Higher frequencies up to 2 MHz are permitted only at VCC ≥ 4.5V.
Can the ORG pin be left unconnected on AT93C66W-10SI-1.8?
No - the ORG pin must be actively tied to either VCC or GND to select 256 × 16 or 512 × 8 organization. Per the datasheet, the internal 1 MΩ pull-up is not guaranteed on 1.8V devices, so leaving ORG floating results in undefined behavior. AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 requires explicit hardware configuration.
Is AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 pin-compatible with AT93C66A-10SI-1.8?
Yes - AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 and AT93C66A-10SI-1.8 share identical 8-lead SOIC (8S1) packaging, pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and instruction set. The AT93C66A-10SI-1.8 is a direct replacement with enhanced ESD rating and updated process, explicitly recommended for new designs in the datasheet.
Does AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 require a separate erase cycle before writing?
No - the AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 performs automatic erase-before-write within its self-timed 10 ms write cycle. No explicit ERASE instruction is needed prior to WRITE; the device internally erases the target location before programming new data, simplifying firmware implementation.
What is the meaning of the "W" in AT93C66W-10SI-1.8?
The "W" in AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 denotes EIAJ SOIC packaging (8S2), per the Ordering Information table on page 13. However, the full part number AT93C66W-10SI-1.8 uses "SI", indicating JEDEC SOIC (8S1). This reflects a documented variant designation where "W" appears in the base ordering code but the suffix "SI" overrides it to specify the JEDEC-compliant 8-lead SOIC package actually shipped.
