24AA16T-I/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24AA16T-I/MNY is a 16-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.7V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz. The device utilizes a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols and features a 16-byte page write buffer. It supports hardware write protection via the WP pin, offers ESD protection exceeding 4,000V, and ensures data retention for over 200 years with more than one million erase/write cycles.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional two-wire serial communication with I2C compatibility
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data transfer
• Provides hardware write protection through the dedicated WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Personal communications devices requiring low-power non-volatile storage
• Data acquisition systems needing reliable parameter retention
• Industrial control applications utilizing standard I2C bus architectures

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MNY' corresponds to the TDFN-8 package type during procurement. Confirm the temperature grade 'I' matches industrial requirements spanning -40°C to +85°C. Ensure the ordering code aligns with the manufacturer's current active status and RoHS compliance specifications before finalizing purchase orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-Kbit capacity is required within a compact surface-mount footprint. It is suitable for designs operating at voltages as low as 1.7V. Consider the 400 kHz speed limit and page write constraints when designing the system software. Verify that the TDFN-8 package dimensions fit the available PCB space.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with the 24LC16B and 24FC16 but differs in minimum operating voltage and maximum clock frequency specifications. The device is designed for advanced low-power applications where small form factors are critical.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24AA16 variants in different packages such as SOIC or MSOP. Cross-reference with 24LC16B if the application voltage does not drop below 2.5V. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting.
