MICROCHIP Serial I2C EEPROM 16Kbit 8-Pin SOIC

The MICROCHIP Serial I2C EEPROM provides reliable 16Kbit memory storage in a compact 8-pin SOIC package. Organised as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory, this electrically erasable programmable read-only memory offers versatile data storage solutions for modern electronics. Its low-power CMOS technology ensures highly efficient performance, operating down to 1.7V with standby and active currents of just 1μA and 1mA respectively.

Designed for robust operation, the device features Schmitt trigger inputs for effective noise suppression and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce. It supports a page write capability for up to 16 bytes of data, with a maximum page write time of 5ms and a self-timed erase/write cycle. Hardware write protection adds an essential layer of data security. The EEPROM boasts impressive endurance with over 1 million erase/write cycles and data retention exceeding 200 years.

With a maximum clock frequency of 400KHz and a supply voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, this surface-mount memory IC is perfectly suited for a wide variety of demanding electronics applications. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
