24FC16T-I/OT

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC16T-I/OT 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 operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 5-lead SOT-23 package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication for efficient data transfer
• Includes a 16-byte page write buffer to optimize write operations
• Features hardware write protection via the WP pin for data security
• Incorporates Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial sensor data logging
• Configuration storage in embedded systems
• Parameter retention in low-power devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and 'OT' indicates the 5-lead SOT-23 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the specific revision matches the required datasheet version for accurate electrical characteristics.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-Kbit capacity is required with high-speed 1 MHz I²C support. It is suitable for applications needing operation down to 1.7V. Ensure the design accommodates the 5-lead SOT-23 footprint and utilizes the hardware write-protect feature if data integrity during writes is critical.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16 family of serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology. It shares architectural similarities with the 24AA16 and 24LC16B but offers higher bus speeds. The family provides non-volatile memory solutions with varying speed and voltage specifications for diverse embedded applications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24FC16 variants with different packages (e.g., 24FC16T-I/SN for SOIC). Cross-family replacements like 24AA16 or 24LC16B are possible but require verification of speed and voltage compatibility.
