Frequently Asked Questions

What is the memory capacity and interface of the 24LC16B-I/MS?

The 24LC16B-I/MS provides 16Kbit (2048 x 8-bit) EEPROM memory accessed via an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface supporting clock frequencies up to 400kHz in Fast mode, requiring only two signal lines (SDA and SCL) plus power and ground.

What is the operating voltage range of the 24LC16B-I/MS?

The 24LC16B-I/MS operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems and suitable for battery-powered applications requiring low-voltage operation.

What package does the 24LC16B-I/MS use and what are its key dimensions?

The 24LC16B-I/MS is housed in an MSOP-8 (Micro Small Outline Package) with 8 pins and Matte Tin (Sn) terminal finish. The compact MSOP package is significantly smaller than standard SOIC, making it ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.

Can the 24LC16B-I/MS be used in industrial temperature environments?

Yes, the 24LC16B-I/MS carries an Industrial (I) temperature grade designation, supporting operation across the -40°C to +85°C temperature range, making it suitable for industrial automation, instrumentation, and outdoor applications.

Are there pin-compatible alternatives to the 24LC16B-I/MS?

Pin-compatible alternatives include other Microchip 24-series EEPROMs such as the 24LC08B (8Kbit) and 24LC32A (32Kbit) in MSOP-8 packages. Atmel/Microchip AT24C16B and ON Semiconductor CAT24C16 are also functionally equivalent options with the same I2C interface.
