Working Principles

The NM93CS06N is based on Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) technology. It utilizes a floating gate transistor structure to store and retrieve digital information. The memory cells are organized into an array of rows and columns, with each cell capable of storing one bit of data.

Data can be written to the memory by applying appropriate voltage levels to the control pins. The stored data can be read by accessing the memory through the serial interface. The non-volatile nature of the memory ensures that the stored data remains intact even when power is disconnected.
