24LC16BHT-E/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC16BHT-E/MNY is a 16-Kbit (2K x 8) serial Electrically Erasable PROM featuring an I²C-compatible two-wire interface. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. The device utilizes an 8-lead TDFN package with a maximum access time of 900 ns. Designed for extended industrial environments, it functions between -40°C and +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a standby current of 5 μA maximum at extended temperatures and an operating current of 3 mA maximum.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Hardware write-protect capability for the upper half of the memory array via the WP pin
• Integrated page write buffer supporting up to 16 bytes per cycle
• Schmitt trigger inputs and noise filtering on SDA and SCL lines
• Self-timed erase/write cycles with automatic acknowledge polling

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage in harsh thermal conditions
• Industrial control units needing hardware-level write protection for critical parameters
• Low-power battery-operated devices utilizing I²C communication protocols

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' confirms the extended temperature rating (-40°C to +125°C) and the 'MNY' designation corresponds to the 8-lead TDFN package. Confirm that the 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with the required 2.5V minimum supply voltage before finalizing procurement specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when application requirements demand operation above standard industrial limits up to 125°C. The 24LC16BH series requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V, distinguishing it from lower-voltage variants like the 24AA16H. The TDFN package offers a compact footprint ideal for space-constrained designs compared to larger SOIC or MSOP options.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16H family of 16-Kbit serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family shares common architectural features including the 1010 control code and block-select addressing mechanism. Variants within the family differ primarily in supply voltage ranges, maximum clock speeds, and physical package configurations to suit diverse manufacturing needs.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and specification include the 24LC16BHT-I/MNY for industrial temperature ranges. Cross-family replacements such as the 24AA16H or 24FC16H require verification of voltage compatibility and clock speed limitations.
