Product details
Overview
AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 16-kbit serial EEPROM with user-selectable 2048 × 8 or 1024 × 16 organization, 3-wire SPI-compatible interface, and 2.7V–5.5V supply operation. It delivers 1 million write cycles, 100-year data retention, and Schmitt-triggered noise-immune inputs for industrial control and automotive subsystems requiring nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 application, or AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection factors include voltage range compatibility (2.7–5.5 V), dual organization flexibility via ORG pin, self-timed 10 ms write cycle, TSSOP-8 packaging, and extended temperature support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 implements a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS, SK, DI/DO) with instruction-set-driven operation including READ, WRITE, ERASE, EWEN, EWDS, ERAL, and WRAL. Its internal address decoder supports automatic sequential read and dual memory mapping selected by the ORG pin state.
It features on-chip clock generation, READY/BUSY status reporting via DO during write/erase, and noise-suppressed inputs using Schmitt triggers and filtering. The device operates across −40°C to +85°C with no external components required for basic functionality.

Pinout & Package
AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 4.4 mm × 3.0 mm body dimensions. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must be held low for instruction initiation and sustained during serial transfer |
| SK | Serial Clock | Synchronous edge-triggered clock input; rising edge samples DI, falling edge outputs DO |
| DI | Data Input | Serial instruction and address/data input path; accepts start bit, op code, address, and write data |
| DO | Data Output | Tri-state serial output; delivers read data, READY/BUSY status, or high-impedance when CS is high |

| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuits and I/O signals |
| ORG | Organization Select | Logic-level-controlled memory mapping: VCC = 1024 × 16, GND = 2048 × 8; unconnected defaults to x16 |
| DC | Don't Connect | No internal connection; must remain floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling |
Key Features

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), 1.8–5.5 V, 5 ms write time | Higher density and faster write; requires CS, SK, SI, SO pins instead of shared DI/DO | Select when >16 kbit storage or SPI-native interface is required; not pin-compatible |
| 25AA160C-I/MS | 16 kbit, SPI interface (4-wire), 1.8–5.5 V, 5 ms write time, SOIC-8 package | Same density but 4-wire SPI; lacks ORG pin flexibility and Schmitt-trigger inputs | Choose for legacy SPI designs where pin count permits separate I/O lines and noise immunity is less critical |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and 25AA160C-I/MS, the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 offers unique 3-wire simplicity, hardware-selectable organization, and superior noise immunity - making it optimal for space-constrained, electrically noisy industrial nodes where pin count and robustness outweigh raw speed or density needs.

FAQ
What is the function of the ORG pin on the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7?
The ORG pin on the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 selects internal memory organization: tied to VCC enables 1024 × 16 mode, tied to GND enables 2048 × 8 mode. When left unconnected, the internal 1 MΩ pull-up defaults to x16 mode. This hardware-selectable configuration eliminates firmware overhead and supports flexible system design without changing the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 part number.
Does the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 support true SPI communication?
The AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, SK, DI/DO) that is functionally compatible with SPI master peripherals but is not a full SPI device - it shares DI and DO on a single bidirectional pin and lacks dedicated SO/SI lines. Host firmware must manage direction control and timing per the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 instruction set, not standard SPI mode settings.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 at 3.3 V?
At 3.3 V, the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 supports a maximum SK clock frequency of 1 MHz, as specified in the AC Characteristics table for 2.7 V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5 V operation. This ensures reliable timing margin for microcontrollers running at common 3.3 V logic levels without requiring additional clock dividers or delay insertion in the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 interface.
How does the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 indicate write completion status?
The AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 reports READY/BUSY status on the DO pin: when CS is brought high after initiating a write cycle and held low for ≥250 ns (tCS), a logic "1" on DO indicates completion and readiness for the next instruction, while a logic "0" means programming is still in progress. This eliminates polling delays and allows deterministic host timing for the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7.
Is the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 pin-compatible with other members of the AT93Cxx family?
Yes - the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7 shares identical pinout and package (8-lead TSSOP) with AT93C46A-10SI-2.7, AT93C56A-10SI-2.7, and AT93C66A-10SI-2.7. All use the same CS/SK/DI/DO/ORG/VCC/GND/DC arrangement, enabling drop-in replacement within the same density tier when board layout accommodates the AT93C86A-10SI-2.7's 16 kbit capacity.
