47C16T-I/ST

Overview

The Microchip Technology 47C16T-I/ST is a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) device belonging to the 47L16 series. It features a storage capacity of 16 kilobits organized as 2K x 8 bits. The component operates within an industrial temperature range and utilizes a TSSOP-8 surface-mount package. This specific part number denotes the tape-and-reel packaging variant, distinguishing it from tube-packaged equivalents such as the 47C16-I/SN.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile EERAM architecture combining SRAM speed with EEPROM retention
• Industrial temperature grade operation for robust environmental performance
• Surface-mount TSSOP-8 package configuration

Applications

• Data logging in industrial control systems
• Configuration storage in embedded devices
• Backup memory for real-time clock circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' confirms the reel packaging format required for automated assembly lines. Confirm the 'I' designation matches the specified industrial temperature range for the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to ensure authenticity and correct revision level.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile data retention is required without the write-cycle limitations of standard EEPROMs. Compare against the 47L04T-I/ST if lower density suffices. Ensure the TSSOP-8 footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and that the industrial temperature rating meets operational requirements.

Part Context

This device is part of the Microchip 47Lxx family of Electrically Erasable RAM (EERAM) products. These components integrate SRAM performance with EEPROM non-volatility. The 47C16T-I/ST specifically represents the 16-kilobit density variant in the industrial temperature grade, packaged in a tape-and-reel format for high-volume manufacturing integration.

Replacement Considerations

The 47L16T-I/ST serves as the direct functional equivalent. Verify compatibility with the 47C16-I/SN regarding pinout and electrical characteristics, noting the difference in physical packaging between reel and tube formats.
