24FC16T-I/MUY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC16T-I/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 at supply voltages between 1.7V and 5.5V. The device utilizes low-power CMOS technology, drawing a maximum standby current of 1 μA and an operating current of 1 mA. It includes a 16-byte page write buffer and hardware write-protect capabilities via the WP pin. The component operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-lead UDFN package.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) regarding packaging or material changes before finalizing procurement orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-Kbit capacity is required alongside high-speed 1 MHz I2C performance. It is suitable for designs operating on single supplies down to 1.7V. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified industrial temperature limits and that the system architecture supports the standard I2C addressing protocol.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. The family shares common electrical characteristics and functional descriptions but varies by speed grade and voltage requirements. The 'FC' designation indicates the 1 MHz speed variant, while 'I' denotes the industrial temperature range.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC16 variants with different packages such as 24FC16T-I/MS or 24FC16T-I/SN. Cross-family replacements like 24AA16 or 24LC16B are available but operate at lower speeds or higher minimum voltages.
