93C66 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
93C66 is a Microchip Technology order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 5 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
IC EEPROM 4KBIT MICROWIRE 8DIP Other listed variants describe: IC EEPROM 4KBIT MICROWIRE 8SOIC; IC EEPROM 4KBIT MICROWIRE 8TSSOP.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm).
Suffix examples in this family: A-E/P, B-I/SN, B-I/ST, BT-I/OT, B-E/P. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: 93C66A-E/P, 93C66B-I/SN, 93C66B-I/ST, 93C66BT-I/OT, 93C66B-E/P.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)Single package option across listed variants; still confirm reel vs tube suffix if you auto-insert.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 5 distinct suffix patternsExamples: A-E/P, B-I/SN, B-I/ST, BT-I/OT, B-E/P. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on 93C66 map to package, grade, and reel options.
93C66 uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: A-E/P, B-I/SN, B-I/ST, BT-I/OT, B-E/P.
Full MPN examples: 93C66A-E/P, 93C66B-I/SN, 93C66B-I/ST, 93C66BT-I/OT, 93C66B-E/P.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right 93C66 Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Packages here: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm). Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For 93C66, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "93C66" — include the full suffix (e.g. A-E/P, B-I/SN, B-I/ST). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
