FT24C16A-ELR-T

Overview

The FT24C16A-ELR-T is a 16Kbit (2K x 8) serial EEPROM memory device manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes an I²C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and features a write cycle time of 5 ms. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and has an access time of 500 ns. Designed for surface mount applications, it is housed in a SOT-23-5 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile storage capability preserving data without power
• I²C serial interface compatibility for simplified system integration
• Wide operating voltage range supporting low-power designs

Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring compact non-volatile storage
• Industrial control systems needing reliable parameter retention
• Automotive modules utilizing standard I²C communication protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ELR-T confirms the SOT-23-5 package variant during procurement. Ensure the ordering documentation explicitly references Fremont Micro Devices Ltd as the manufacturer to avoid confusion with generic equivalents. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status matches project requirements before finalizing purchase orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint SOT-23-5 package is required for 16Kbit capacity. It is suitable for designs needing 1 MHz I²C speeds and wide voltage tolerance. Compare against larger packages like TSSOP if board space permits, or smaller capacities if less storage suffices for the application needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24CxA series of serial EEPROMs from Fremont Micro Devices. The series offers various capacities and package options including SOT-23 and TSSOP configurations. These devices are designed as drop-in replacements for industry-standard I²C EEPROMs, providing flexibility in PCB layout and design constraints.
