47L16-E/ST

Overview

The Microchip Technology 47L16-E/ST is a static random-access memory (SRAM) device belonging to the 47L16 series. It features a 16kbit capacity and operates at a supply voltage of 3.0V. The component is classified as an EERAM (Electrically Erasable RAM) suitable for industrial temperature ranges. It is housed in a TSSOP-8 surface-mount package, providing a compact form factor for embedded data storage applications requiring non-volatile characteristics with SRAM-like speed.

Feature Summary

• Combines SRAM speed with EEPROM non-volatility
• Industrial temperature range operation
• Low voltage 3.0V power supply compatibility

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring persistent data retention
• Industrial control units needing reliable memory
• Battery-powered devices with low voltage constraints

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact operating temperature grade and voltage specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package type and environmental compliance standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires the endurance of EEPROM combined with the access speed of SRAM. Consider the 3.0V operating voltage and TSSOP-8 footprint constraints during PCB layout and system architecture planning.

Part Context

This device is part of the 47L16 family of EERAMs from Microchip Technology. These components are designed to bridge the gap between volatile SRAM and slower non-volatile memories, offering high write endurance and fast read/write cycles in a small package.
