47C16-I/ST

Overview

The Microchip Technology 47C16-I/ST is a static random access memory device classified as an EERAM (Electrically Erasable Random Access Memory). It features a 16kbit capacity, organized as 2048 words by 8 bits. The component operates at a standard 5.0V supply voltage and is designed for industrial temperature ranges. This integrated circuit combines the speed of SRAM with the non-volatility of EEPROM technology.

Feature Summary

• Combines high-speed SRAM performance with non-volatile data retention capabilities
• Provides reliable storage solution for critical system parameters without power
• Industrial grade temperature rating ensures stable operation in demanding environments

Applications

• Data logging systems requiring persistent parameter storage
• Industrial control applications needing fast volatile memory with backup
• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile configuration data retention

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as this component may be subject to special order requirements. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required package type and temperature range for your design. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires the read/write speed of SRAM combined with the non-volatile characteristics of EEPROM. It is suitable for applications where data integrity must be maintained during power loss. Consider the 5.0V operating voltage and industrial temperature range specifications to ensure compatibility with the target system environment and power supply rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip 47Cxx series of EERAM devices, which integrate SRAM and EEPROM on a single die. These components are designed to offer the best of both worlds: the unlimited endurance and speed of SRAM for frequent writes, and the non-volatility of EEPROM for long-term data retention without external battery support.
