Product details
Overview
AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T from Microchip Technology is a 16-Kbit three-wire serial EEPROM with user-selectable x8 (2,048 × 8) or x16 (1,024 × 16) memory organization, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, rated for -40°C to +85°C, and featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity in industrial control and embedded configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T datasheet, AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T pinout, AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T application, or AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed industrial-grade temperature behavior, and real-world use cases for nonvolatile parameter storage in space-constrained systems.
Technical Context
The AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T implements a synchronous three-wire interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) with ORG pin-controlled memory mapping, supporting sequential read and self-timed write cycles up to 10 ms. Its internal architecture includes a power-on reset generator, high-voltage charge pump, and address register with automatic incrementing during read bursts.
It uses Schmitt-triggered inputs with filtered noise suppression, supports clock rates up to 2 MHz at 5 V (250 kHz at 1.8 V), and maintains data integrity via 1,000,000 write cycles and 100-year retention at 55°C - all within a single-supply 1.8–5.5 V operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16 Kbit (2,048 × 8 or 1,024 × 16), selectable via ORG pin - enables flexible byte- or word-oriented firmware storage. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with low-power microcontrollers and battery-backed systems without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor drives, PLCs, and automotive body electronics. |
| Write Endurance | 1,000,000 cycles - ensures reliable field updates of calibration data, device IDs, or runtime configuration over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at 55°C - guarantees long-term persistence of critical settings without refresh or backup power. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 250 kHz at 1.8 V - defines minimum SK period (4 µs), constraining maximum serial throughput in ultra-low-voltage operation. |
| Standby Current | 0.4 µA typical at 1.8 V - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on embedded nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with 150-mil body width, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and JEDEC-standard footprint (3.90 mm × 4.90 mm). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-high enable: device enters active mode only when CS = high; DO goes high-Z when CS = low - prevents bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| SK | Serial Data Clock | Rising-edge synchronized I/O: latches DI on rising SK edge and clocks DO on same edge - eliminates setup/hold timing violations in synchronous master-slave links. |
| DI | Serial Data Input | Receives instruction opcodes, addresses, and write data; accepts logic levels compliant with 1.8 V thresholds (VIL2 ≤ 0.3×VCC, VIH2 ≥ 0.7×VCC). |
| DO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and Ready/Busy status; outputs logic '1' when write/erase complete, '0' during active programming - enables polling-based firmware flow control. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System return path for VCC and all I/O; must be low-impedance to maintain noise margin for Schmitt-trigger inputs. |
| ORG | Organization Select | Configures memory map: tied to VCC → x16 mode (1,024 words); tied to GND → x8 mode (2,048 bytes); unconnected → x16 default via internal pull-up. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 7 is internally unused and must remain unconnected - avoids unintended coupling or ESD paths. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.8–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin to suppress switching noise during write cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-selectable memory organization | x8 or x16 mode via ORG pin - simplifies firmware adaptation across 8-bit and 16-bit host MCUs without hardware redesign. |
| Self-timed write cycle | ≤10 ms max duration with no external timing control - eliminates need for write-cycle delay loops or watchdog timers in host software. |
| Schmitt-trigger, filtered inputs | Input hysteresis >0.5 V at 1.8 V and noise filtering - rejects EMI spikes on CS/SK/DI lines in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
| Green packaging | Lead-free, halide-free, RoHS-compliant SOIC - meets global environmental compliance requirements for commercial and industrial shipments. |
| Power-on reset protection | Internal POR circuit holds device in standby until VCC ≥ 1.5 V and stable for ≥100 µs - prevents spurious writes during brown-out or cold-start conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95128-DRMN6TP/K | 4-wire SPI interface, 128 Kbit capacity, 2.5–5.5 V supply, no ORG pin - fixed 128 × 8 organization. | Requires SPI controller support; lacks x16 mode and 1.8 V operation - unsuitable for ultra-low-voltage or dual-mode memory mapping needs. | Select when higher density and standard SPI compatibility outweigh flexibility in voltage and organization. |
| 25AA160CT-I/OT | 3-wire Microwire-compatible interface, 16 Kbit, 1.8–5.5 V, industrial temp, but no ORG pin - fixed 2,048 × 8 organization only. | Same pin count and voltage range, but cannot configure x16 mode - limits use in 16-bit data path applications like digital potentiometer registers. | Choose when x8-only memory layout suffices and Microwire protocol alignment is preferred over Atmel legacy command set. |
Compared with M95128-DRMN6TP/K and 25AA160CT-I/OT, the AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T uniquely supports dual memory mapping and true 1.8 V operation with Schmitt-trigger noise immunity - making it optimal for mixed-signal industrial nodes where voltage headroom and interface flexibility are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization supported by AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T?
The AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T supports two memory organizations: 2,048 × 8 bits (x8 mode) or 1,024 × 16 bits (x16 mode), selected by the ORG pin state. When ORG is tied to VCC, x16 mode activates; when tied to GND, x8 mode activates. An unconnected ORG defaults to x16 via internal pull-up. This dual-mode capability is confirmed in DS20006261A-page 6 and page 12.
Does AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T support true 1.8 V operation across all specifications?
Yes, AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T is fully specified for 1.8 V operation: VCC range is 1.8–5.5 V (DS20006261A-page 8), standby current is 0.4 µA typical at 1.8 V (Table 4-2), and AC timing supports 250 kHz clock rate at 1.8 V (Table 4-3). The "1.8" in the part number explicitly denotes low-voltage grade qualification.
How does the Ready/Busy status function on AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T during write cycles?
During a write or erase cycle, the AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T outputs Ready/Busy status on the DO pin: logic '0' indicates ongoing programming, logic '1' indicates completion. This requires holding CS low for ≥tCS (1 µs min at 1.8 V), then bringing CS high to sample DO - as defined in Figures 5-4 through 5-7 and DS20006261A-page 14.
What package type is used for AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T uses an 8-lead SOIC package (Microchip drawing C04-057-SN), with 3.90 mm body width, 4.90 mm length, 1.25–1.75 mm height, and 1.27 mm pitch. The "Y6" in the part number designates SOIC; marking includes "86A", year/week code, and "H" for industrial grade - per DS20006261A-page 17.
Is AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
No, AT93C86AY6-10YH-1.8-T uses a proprietary three-wire serial interface (CS/SK/DI/DO) distinct from SPI: it lacks dedicated MOSI/MISO lines and requires specific command sequences (e.g., EWEN before WRITE). While bit-banged GPIO can emulate the protocol, hardware SPI peripherals cannot directly drive it without translation logic - confirmed in Section 5 and Figure 5-1 of DS20006261A.
