24LC16BT-H/SN16KVAO

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24LC16BT-H/SN16KVAO is a 16-Kbit Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) 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 400 kHz and access times of 900 ns. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V, with typical active current of 1 mA and standby current of 1 µA. It is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards for automotive applications and supports an extended high-temperature range from -40°C to +150°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability certified under AEC-Q100 standards
• Extended high-temperature operational capability up to +150°C
• Hardware write protection via dedicated WP pin
• Schmitt trigger inputs for enhanced noise suppression

Memory IC Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring high-temperature endurance
• Industrial embedded controllers operating in extreme thermal environments

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' confirms the high-temperature grade (-40°C to +150°C) distinct from standard industrial variants. Confirm 'SN' indicates the 8-lead SOIC package type. Ensure '16KVAO' aligns with required automotive qualification documentation. Cross-reference the datasheet revision DS20006054B for accurate electrical specifications.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require EEPROM functionality within automotive or high-thermal industrial sectors. The 16Kbit capacity suits moderate data storage needs. Verify system voltage compatibility within the 2.5V to 5.5V range. Consider the 16-byte page write buffer for efficient data throughput requirements.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the 24LC16B family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares core architectural features with other members but is distinguished by its high-temperature rating and automotive qualification. The family utilizes a standardized I2C interface for broad microcontroller compatibility.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24LC16B variants with matching temperature grades. Verify package compatibility if replacing with different suffixes. Ensure any alternative maintains AEC-Q100 certification if automotive compliance is mandatory.
