24FC16T-E/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC16T-E/OT 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 1 MHz. The device utilizes a two-wire I2C compatible serial interface and features a 16-byte page write buffer. It supports extended temperature operation from -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 5-lead SOT-23 package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I2C communication for efficient data transfer
• Includes hardware write protection via the WP pin to secure memory arrays
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging in industrial environments requiring extended temperature ranges
• Configuration storage for embedded systems operating at low voltages
• Parameter retention in automotive electronic modules

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and packaging format. Confirm the device meets RoHS compliance standards for your region. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the system's voltage requirements and physical footprint constraints before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an I2C EEPROM requires operation down to 1.7V and support for 1 MHz bus speeds. The extended temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard industrial parts may fail. The SOT-23 package offers a compact solution for space-constrained designs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24FC16 family of serial EEPROMs, which are designed for applications needing non-volatile data storage with fast access times. The 'E' designation indicates extended temperature capability, while '/OT' specifies the tape and reel packaging format within the 5-lead SOT-23 housing.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The 24LC16B serves as a functional equivalent but is limited to 400 kHz operation and typically requires a minimum of 2.5V. Verify that the lower speed and higher voltage threshold of the substitute do not conflict with system specifications.
