AT24C16-10TI-2.7

Memory IC Overview

The AT24C16-10TI-2.7 is a non-volatile serial EEPROM with a capacity of 16Kb (2048 x 8). It operates on a 2-wire I2C interface and supports supply voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. The device features hardware write protection, 16-byte page write modes, and self-timed write cycles up to 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package and rated for industrial temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional data transfer via a standard 2-wire serial interface.
• Includes a dedicated Write Protect pin for hardware-based data security.
• Enables partial page writes within its 16-byte page write mode architecture.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low-power memory
• Commercial applications needing non-volatile data storage
• Embedded devices utilizing I2C communication protocols

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage suffix '-2.7' matches the target system's power rails, as this variant requires a minimum of 2.7V. Confirm the 'T' designation corresponds to the required 8-lead TSSOP package type. Ensure the '10' speed grade aligns with the bus clock requirements. Check current availability status as older revisions may be discontinued.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16Kb EEPROM size is necessary for storing configuration data or calibration values. The 2.7V operating range makes it suitable for systems powered by single lithium cells or regulated 3.3V rails. The TSSOP package is appropriate for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Verify that the application does not require multiple devices on the same I2C bus, as the 16K version lacks address pins.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 family of serial EEPROMs manufactured by Microchip Technology. While the datasheet notes that newer designs should consider the AT24C16A series, the AT24C16 remains a widely used legacy component for general-purpose non-volatile storage in established industrial and commercial electronics.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Datasheets indicate the AT24C16A as the recommended successor for new designs. Verify electrical compatibility and pinout consistency before substituting. Other family members like AT24C08 or AT24C32 offer different capacities but share similar interface characteristics.
