Technical Specifications:

The GT93C56A-2GLI-TR operates within a voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. It features a self-timed write cycle, which eliminates the need for external timing components. The Microwire serial interface consists of three signals: clock (SK), data input (DI), and data output (DO). A chip select (CS) input is also provided to enable communication with the device. The device can be write-protected using the WP pin. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.
