24LC16BT-I/SN

The 24LC16BT-I/SN is an I2C-compatible serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) manufactured by Microchip Technology. EEPROMs are non-volatile memory devices used for storing small amounts of data that need to be retained even when power is removed from the system. The I2C interface allows for easy communication with microcontrollers and other devices.

Key Features:

• Capacity: The "16" in the part number denotes the capacity of the EEPROM, which is 16 Kbits or 2 Kbytes.

• Interface: Utilizes the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) serial interface for communication with microcontrollers and other devices, allowing for simple, bidirectional data transfer.

• Memory Organization: The EEPROM is organized into multiple memory locations, typically consisting of bytes or words, allowing for random read and write operations.

• Low Power Consumption: Features low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications.

• Wide Operating Voltage Range: Supports a wide operating voltage range, ensuring compatibility with various systems and power supplies.

• Temperature Range: Designed to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications.

• Compact Package: Housed in a Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with a surface-mount design, allowing for easy integration onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) during assembly.

Applications:

• Embedded Systems: Used in embedded systems, microcontrollers, and microprocessor-based devices for storing configuration data, calibration values, and other critical information.

• Data Logging: Employed in data logging applications where small amounts of data need to be stored periodically, such as temperature logging, event logging, and sensor data storage.

• Security Systems: Integrated into security systems and access control devices for storing encryption keys, user credentials, and access logs.

• Automotive Electronics: Utilized in automotive electronics for storing vehicle settings, error codes, and other diagnostic information.

• Consumer Electronics: Found in consumer electronics products such as set-top boxes, TVs, and audio equipment for storing user preferences, channel settings, and firmware updates.
