FT24C16A-ETG-T

Overview

The FT24C16A-ETG-T is a 16Kb (2K x 8) serial EEPROM manufactured by Fremont Micro Devices Ltd. It utilizes an I2C interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and features a typical access time of 550 ns. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports page write cycles with a maximum duration of 5 ms. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP package and is rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports standard two-wire bi-directional serial interface compatible with I2C bus modes.
• Includes hardware write protect pin for data security and automatic erase before write operations.
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs with noise filtering for signal integrity.

Applications

• Data storage in low-voltage embedded systems
• Configuration memory for consumer electronics
• Parameter logging in industrial control devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETG-T against official datasheets to confirm the 8-TSSOP package type, as suffixes often denote packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with the target system's I2C voltage levels, given the 1.8V to 5.5V operating range. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by regulatory standards. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid obsolete or counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16Kb non-volatile memory solution is required with I2C connectivity. It is suitable for designs needing wide voltage operation from 1.8V to 5.5V. Consider the 8-TSSOP package for surface-mount applications requiring compact footprint. Verify that the 1 MHz clock speed meets the system's communication requirements.
