MICROCHIP 24LC16BT-I/OT 16Kbit I2C Serial EEPROM, SOT-23

The MICROCHIP 24LC16BT-I/OT is a high-performance 16Kbit serial EEPROM memory chip, designed for reliable data storage in a wide array of electronic applications. Organised as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory, it utilises a standard two-wire I²C serial interface for efficient communication, supporting clock frequencies up to 400kHz. Its advanced, low-power CMOS technology allows for operation from a single supply voltage as low as 2.5V, making it ideal for battery-powered and portable devices where energy efficiency is critical.

Key Features & Performance

This EEPROM excels in power management, with standby and active currents of just 1µA and 1mA respectively. It incorporates a 16-byte page write buffer, enabling faster programming of multiple bytes with a maximum page write time of 5ms. The self-timed write cycle and robust design ensure more than 1 million erase/write cycles and exceptional data retention exceeding 200 years, guaranteeing long-term reliability. Built-in hardware write-protect and ESD protection greater than 4000V provide added security and durability for your designs.

Design Advantages

Featuring output slope control to eliminate ground bounce, the chip ensures signal integrity in noisy environments. It is offered in a compact, surface-mount SOT-23 package with 5 pins, saving valuable board space. With an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, it is suitable for demanding industrial, commercial, and consumer applications, from computer peripherals and communications networking to general consumer electronics.
