M24C16-WBN6

Memory IC Overview

The M24C16-WBN6 is a 16-Kbit serial I2C bus EEPROM manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is organized as 2K x 8 bits and supports standard (100 kHz) and fast mode (400 kHz) clock frequencies. The device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. It features a page write size of 16 bytes, with byte and page write times typically within 5 ms. The component offers enhanced ESD and latch-up protection, supporting more than 4 million write cycles and over 200-year data retention. It is available in an SOIC-8 package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports I2C bus communication at 100 kHz and 400 kHz speeds
• Provides non-volatile memory storage with high endurance and long-term data retention
• Includes hardware write protect capability for the entire memory array

Memory IC Applications

• Smart metering systems
• Industrial control equipment
• Consumer electronics devices

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm voltage range and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with system I2C bus levels and timing requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Check for any recent product change notices affecting specifications or availability.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-Kbit capacity is required for applications needing reliable non-volatile storage. The 2.5 V to 5.5 V operating range suits standard logic interfaces. Consider the SOIC-8 package for surface mount assembly constraints. Verify that the 400 kHz speed meets system communication bandwidth needs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the M24C16 family of serial EEPROMs from STMicroelectronics. The family includes variants with different minimum voltage thresholds, such as the M24C16-R and M24C16-F. These devices share the same memory organization and interface protocol but differ in electrical characteristics and operating temperature ranges.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include other 16-Kbit I2C EEPROMs from manufacturers like Microchip or ON Semiconductor. Ensure pinout compatibility and verify that voltage and speed specifications match the original design requirements.
