Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 24LC16BT-I/ST for I2C communication?
The 24LC16BT-I/ST supports I2C fast-mode operation at up to 400 kHz, allowing reliable serial communication in embedded systems. This makes it compatible with most microcontroller I2C peripherals operating at 100 kHz or 400 kHz bus speeds.
Over what supply voltage range can the 24LC16BT-I/ST operate reliably?
The device operates across a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, making it suitable for both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems. This wide range allows flexible integration into a variety of embedded designs without level-shifting circuitry.
How many bytes of data can the 24LC16BT-I/ST store, and how is the memory organized?
The 24LC16BT-I/ST provides 16 Kbit (2,048 bytes or 2K x 8-bit) of nonvolatile EEPROM storage organized in 8 pages of 256 bytes each. This capacity is well-suited for storing firmware configuration tables, calibration data, and user settings in embedded applications.
Which package does the 24LC16BT-I/ST use and what are the pin count and package dimensions?
The 24LC16BT-I/ST is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package (Microchip package code TSSOP-8), which offers a compact footprint of approximately 3 mm x 4.4 mm. This small outline package is suitable for space-constrained PCB designs in portable and industrial applications.
When would 24LC16BT-I/ST be a better choice than a larger EEPROM like 24LC64?
The 24LC16BT-I/ST is preferable when the application requires 16 Kbit or less of storage, minimizing cost and power consumption. Its standby current of 100 nA and 2.5 V minimum supply make it ideal for battery-powered sensors where a 64 Kbit device would be unnecessarily large and consume more standby power.
