Product details
Overview
AT93C86-10SI-2.7 from Atmel (now Microchip) is a 16-kbit serial EEPROM with user-selectable 2048 × 8 or 1024 × 16 organization, 3-wire SPI-compatible interface, and low-voltage operation (2.7V–5.5V). It delivers 1 million write cycles, 100-year data retention, and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs for reliable operation in industrial control panels, automotive body modules, and embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT93C86-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT93C86-10SI-2.7 application, or AT93C86-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-word-width flexibility via ORG pin, self-timed 10 ms max write cycle, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, JEDEC SOIC-8 package, and compatibility with 2 MHz clock at 5V.
Technical Context
The AT93C86-10SI-2.7 implements a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with instruction-based command set including READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, and EWDS. Its internal organization is dynamically selected by the ORG pin voltage level-ground for x8 mode, VCC for x16 mode-enabling flexible memory mapping without hardware redesign.
It features on-chip timing control for all write/erase operations, READY/BUSY status reporting via DO during CS high pulse, and built-in noise suppression through Schmitt-trigger inputs and input filtering. The device operates across 2.7V–5.5V with standby current as low as 6.0 µA at 2.7V, supporting battery-backed and low-power embedded systems.

Pinout & Package
AT93C86-10SI-2.7 is supplied in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (package code 8S1), measuring 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm × 1.27 mm, with gull-wing leads and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be held low for entire instruction sequence; controls DO output impedance |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronous edge-triggered clock (max 2 MHz @ 5V); rising edge samples DI, falling edge outputs DO |
| DI | Data Input | Serial instruction/data input; accepts start bit, op code, address, and write data with Schmitt-trigger noise immunity |
| DO | Data Output | Tri-state serial output; provides read data or READY/BUSY status when CS is pulsed high mid-cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5V); powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry and I/O signals |
| ORG | Organization Select | Logic-level controlled memory width: tied to GND for 2048×8, VCC for 1024×16; unconnected defaults to x16 |
| DC | No Connect | Internally unused pin; must be left floating or connected to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-selectable memory organization | Hardware-configurable 2048×8 or 1024×16 layout via ORG pin - eliminates need for firmware rework when changing data width requirements |
| Self-timed write cycle | Fixed 10 ms max duration with READY/BUSY status reporting - simplifies host timing design and avoids external watchdog or delay loops |
| Schmitt-trigger, filtered inputs | Immunity to slow-rising/falling or noisy signals on CS/SK/DI - improves robustness in electrically noisy industrial or automotive harness environments |
| Low standby current | 6.0 µA at 2.7V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or backup power configurations |
| Extended temperature grade | Qualified from -40°C to +85°C - meets industrial control and under-hood automotive subsystem operating requirements |

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 capacity, SPI interface (4-wire), 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V), no ORG pin | Higher density but fixed 128k × 8 organization; lacks dual-width flexibility and low-voltage support | Select when >16 kbit storage is required and system operates strictly at 5V with SPI master available |
| 25AA160C-I/SN | 16 kbit, SPI interface (4-wire), 1.8–5.5V supply, no ORG pin, 5 ms max write time | Wider voltage range and faster write, but requires dedicated SI/SO pins instead of shared DI/DO; no hardware organization select | Select for ultra-low-voltage (1.8V) designs where pin count permits separate I/O lines and x8-only layout suffices |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and 25AA160C-I/SN, the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 uniquely offers hardware-selectable memory width, true 3-wire interface (reducing MCU pin usage), and guaranteed 2.7V operation - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-voltage industrial controllers needing flexible data structure support.

FAQ
What is the function of the ORG pin on the AT93C86-10SI-2.7?
The ORG pin on the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 selects internal memory organization: tied to GND for 2048 × 8 (byte mode), tied to VCC for 1024 × 16 (word mode). If left unconnected, the internal 1 MΩ pull-up defaults to x16 mode. This hardware-selectable feature allows the same AT93C86-10SI-2.7 to serve both 8-bit and 16-bit data architectures without firmware changes.
Does the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 support true SPI communication?
The AT93C86-10SI-2.7 uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) that is functionally compatible with SPI masters but is not a standard SPI peripheral-it lacks separate SI/SO lines and uses a shared DI/DO pin. It supports clock frequencies up to 2 MHz at 5V and requires specific instruction framing (start bit + op code + address), meaning AT93C86-10SI-2.7 firmware drivers must implement its proprietary protocol rather than generic SPI library calls.
What is the maximum write endurance and data retention for the AT93C86-10SI-2.7?
The AT93C86-10SI-2.7 guarantees 1 million write/erase cycles and 100 years of data retention under specified operating conditions (VCC = 2.7–5.5V, TA = -40°C to +85°C). These values are production-tested specifications-not typical or estimated-and apply directly to the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 in its JEDEC SOIC-8 package with industrial temperature qualification.
How does the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 indicate readiness after a write operation?
The AT93C86-10SI-2.7 reports READY/BUSY status via the DO pin: if CS is brought high for ≥250 ns after initiating a WRITE cycle, DO outputs logic '0' while programming is active and logic '1' when complete. This real-time feedback eliminates fixed delays in host firmware-ensuring the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 is ready before issuing the next command.
Is the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 pin-compatible with other AT93Cxx variants?
Yes-the AT93C86-10SI-2.7 shares identical pinout, package (8-lead JEDEC SOIC), and interface signaling with other AT93Cxx family members including AT93C46, AT93C56, and AT93C66. However, memory size and organization differ; substituting AT93C86-10SI-2.7 for smaller variants requires verifying address depth and instruction timing compliance in the host design.
