24LC16BT-E/MNY

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC16BT-E/MNY is a 16-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory. It operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz via a two-wire serial interface compatible with I²C protocols. The device features an access time of 900 ns, a page write buffer for up to 16 bytes, and self-timed erase/write cycles with a maximum duration of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-lead TDFN package and rated for extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional two-wire serial communication protocol compatible with I²C standards
• Includes hardware write protection controlled by the WP pin to inhibit write operations
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs and output slope control for noise suppression and ground bounce elimination

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Industrial control applications operating within extended temperature ranges
• Low-power consumer electronics utilizing I²C bus architectures

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and automotive AEC-Q100 qualification status if applicable to the target environment. Ensure the selected variant matches the necessary voltage range and interface speed requirements for the system design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-Kbit EEPROM with I²C compatibility is required for designs operating at voltages starting from 2.5V. The extended temperature rating makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard industrial grades may fail. Consider the TDFN package dimensions for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24XX16 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The family includes variants such as the 24AA16 and 24FC16, which share similar architectural features but differ in minimum operating voltage and maximum clock frequency specifications. The 24LC16B series specifically targets applications requiring operation down to 2.5V.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC16B variants with different packages or temperature ratings, such as 24LC16BT-I/MNY for industrial temperature range.
