Product details
Overview
AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T from Microchip Technology is a 16-Kbit three-wire serial EEPROM organized as 2,048 × 8 or 1,024 × 16, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V, with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 2 MHz max clock rate at 5V, and 1,000,000 write endurance cycles. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded controllers, power management units, and sensor calibration modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T datasheet, AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T pinout, AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T application, or AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for design-in flexibility under low-voltage, space-constrained conditions.
Technical Context
The AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T implements a synchronous three-wire interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered inputs and supports dual memory organization selected via the ORG pin. Its self-timed write cycle completes within 10 ms maximum and requires no pre-erase step.
It features internal power-on reset (POR) with 1.5 V threshold, 100 µs minimum command delay after stable VCC, and Ready/Busy status reporting via DO when CS is asserted post-write. The device uses a 1 MΩ internal pull-up on ORG to default to x16 mode if left unconnected.

Pinout & Package
AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with 150-mil body width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and lead-free/RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-high enable: device responds only when CS = high; DO enters high-Z when CS = low |
| SK | Serial Data Clock | Rising-edge synchronized I/O - latches DI and clocks DO; tSKH/tSKL ≥ 1000 ns at 1.8 V |
| DI | Serial Data Input | Accepts instruction opcodes (READ/EWEN/WRITE), addresses, and data; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| DO | Serial Data Output | Outputs read data or Ready/Busy status (logic 1 = ready, 0 = busy) when CS reasserted post-write |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for stable VIL/VIH thresholds and POR operation |
| ORG | Organization Select | Tied to VCC → x16 mode (1,024 × 16); tied to GND → x8 mode (2,048 × 8); unconnected → x16 via 1 MΩ pull-up |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 7 is internally unused and must be left floating or grounded - no electrical function |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8–5.5 V input; requires monotonic ramp ≤ 0.1 V/µs and ≥ 100 µs stabilization before first command |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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, 5 MHz max clock, 2.5–5.5 V supply | Higher density and faster interface, but requires SPI master and lacks ORG-selectable x16 mode | Select when >16 Kbit capacity or SPI-native host interface is required; not drop-in due to protocol and pinout mismatch |
| 25AA160CT-I/ST | 16 Kbit, SPI interface, 10 MHz max clock, 1.8–5.5 V, 1 M write cycles, same temp range | Identical density and voltage range, but SPI-only (no ORG pin), different pinout (SOIC-8 with different pin assignment) | Choose for SPI-based designs needing identical density and voltage; requires PCB layout change and firmware adaptation |
Compared with M95128-WMN6TP and 25AA160CT-I/ST, the AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T uniquely supports hardware-selectable x8/x16 organization and three-wire interface - reducing MCU GPIO count and enabling flexible memory mapping without software overhead.

FAQ
What is the correct power-up sequence for AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T?
The AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T requires a monotonic VCC ramp ≤ 0.1 V/µs, followed by ≥100 µs stabilization before issuing the first command. The internal POR circuit activates at ~1.5 V, and the device remains unresponsive until VCC exceeds the minimum operating voltage (1.8 V) and tPUP elapses. This ensures reliable initialization without spurious writes.
How does the ORG pin affect memory addressing in AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T?
In AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T, the ORG pin selects memory organization: tied to VCC → 1,024 × 16 (x16 mode, 10-bit address); tied to GND → 2,048 × 8 (x8 mode, 11-bit address). If left unconnected, the internal 1 MΩ pull-up defaults to x16 mode. Address bits A10–A0 or A9–A0 are used accordingly per mode, as defined in Table 5-2 of the datasheet.
Can AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T be used with a 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting?
Yes - AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T is fully specified for 1.8 V operation, including VIH2 ≥ 0.7×VCC and VIL2 ≤ 0.3×VCC, ensuring compatible logic thresholds with 1.8 V MCUs. Its Schmitt-triggered inputs further tolerate slow edges, eliminating need for external level shifters in most direct-connect implementations.
What is the maximum write cycle time for AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T, and how is completion detected?
The maximum write cycle time for AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T is 10 ms across the full 1.8–5.5 V range. Completion is detected by asserting CS high after the WRITE command and sampling DO: logic '1' indicates readiness, logic '0' indicates ongoing programming. This Ready/Busy status is valid only if CS is reasserted after ≥tCS (1000 ns at 1.8 V).
Does AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T support sequential read, and what is its timing behavior?
Yes - AT93C86A-10SU-1.8-T supports sequential read: after the initial READ command, holding CS high causes automatic address increment and continuous data output on DO, synchronized to SK rising edges. No dummy bit is inserted between words, enabling efficient bulk reads. The first output byte includes a leading dummy '0', per Figure 5-1.
