24LC16BH-E/MS Description

The 24LC16BH-E/MS is a 16Kbit (2K x 8) I2C-compatible serial EEPROM from Microchip Technology, designed for low-power, high-reliability non-volatile memory applications. Housed in an 8-pin MSOP package, this surface-mount device operates across a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for both 3.3V and 5V systems. With an I2C interface clock frequency of up to 400 kHz, it ensures efficient data transfer, while its 900 ns access time enables rapid read operations. The 5ms write cycle time (word/page) ensures reliable data retention, and its EEPROM technology guarantees 100,000 erase/write cycles with a 200-year data retention lifespan.
