FT24C16A-ETR-T

Overview

The FT24C16A-ETR-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 550 ns access time. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. It is housed in an 8-TSSOP package with a write cycle time of 5 ms.

Feature Summary

• Supports standard two-wire bidirectional serial communication via I2C protocol.
• Includes hardware write protection capability for data security.
• Features self-timed programming cycles for reliable internal operations.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile data storage
• Battery-powered devices due to low standby current
• Industrial control units operating in wide temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETR-T against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing I2C bus configurations regarding voltage levels and pull-up requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16Kb capacity is required in an 8-pin surface-mount package. It is suitable for designs needing broad voltage flexibility between 1.8V and 5.5V. Consider the 1 MHz speed limit and page write architecture for system timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FT24C16A series, which includes variants with different pin counts and packages such as SOT-23-5 and DIP-8. All members share the same core memory organization and I2C interface specifications, differing primarily in physical form factor and address pin availability.

Replacement Considerations

FT24C16A-ETG-T is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify package dimensions and marking differences before substitution.
