24FC16T-E/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC16T-E/MUY is a 16-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It features a two-wire serial interface compatible with I2C protocols, supporting clock frequencies up to 1 MHz across a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, drawing a maximum standby current of 3 μA and an active read current of 1 mA. It operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in an 8-lead UDFN package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I2C communication for efficient data transfer
• Includes hardware write-protect capability via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression
• Provides self-timed erase/write cycles with page write buffer functionality

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control applications operating in extended temperature environments
• Low-power portable devices utilizing single-supply operation
• Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q100 qualified components

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards for your region. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or material updates before finalizing orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when extended industrial temperature performance is required alongside high-speed I2C communication. The 1 MHz clock rate distinguishes it from slower variants suitable for standard bus speeds. Consider the 8-lead UDFN package for compact surface-mount designs. Verify that the system power supply remains stable within the 1.7V to 5.5V operational range.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes the 24AA16 and 24LC16B variants. While sharing similar memory organization and interface protocols, the 24FC16 series specifically supports higher clock frequencies up to 1 MHz compared to the 400 kHz limit of other family members. The 'E' designation indicates extended temperature grading, and 'MUY' specifies the 8-lead UDFN package type.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 24FC16 variants with different packages such as 24FC16-E/MS or 24FC16-E/SN. Cross-family substitutes like 24LC16B are limited to 400 kHz operation. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same voltage range and temperature specifications for compatibility.
