16kbit Serial-I2C EEPROM memory in various packages
Manufacturer: microchip
The 24LC16B-I series is a highly versatile line of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) devices designed for low-power, data storage applications. This series stands out for its 16 Kbit capacity, allowing for the storage of a substantial amount of data in a compact footprint. Specifically engineered for consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications, the 24LC16B-I series provides engineers with a robust solution for non-volatile memory needs.
One of the key features of the 24LC16B-I series is its I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface, which facilitates easy connectivity to microcontrollers and other digital circuits. The I²C protocol supports multiple devices on a single bus, allowing for efficient communication and control in complex system architectures. Additionally, the series operates within a broad voltage range, typically from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-operated devices that require low power consumption. The device's fast access time of just 5 ms ensures quick data retrieval, which is critical in real-time applications.
The design characteristics of the 24LC16B-I series emphasize both reliability and efficiency. It features a write endurance of up to 1 million cycles and a data retention capability of over 200 years, ensuring that stored information remains intact even after long periods of inactivity. This durability is particularly advantageous in applications requiring long-term data storage, such as configuration settings in appliances, calibration data in medical devices, and user preferences in consumer electronics.
Typical applications for the 24LC16B-I series include smart meters, automotive dashboards, RFID tags, and portable medical devices, where reliable and efficient non-volatile memory is essential. Its compact size and low power specifications also make it an excellent choice for wearables and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, where space and energy conservation are paramount. Overall, the 24LC16B-I series provides a dependable memory solution that meets the demands of modern electronic designs while ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
