NV24C16LV

The NV24C16LV is a 16-Kbit serial EEPROM manufactured by onsemi, designed for low-voltage operation and reliable data storage in embedded systems. It features a 2-wire I²C-compatible interface, allowing for simple integration into microcontroller-based designs with minimal external components. The device operates from a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V, making it suitable for both battery-powered and standard power applications. This memory supports read and write operations with a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz, enabling efficient data transfer rates while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of system architectures. Each page consists of 16 bytes, and the entire 2048-byte memory space is organized into 128 pages, facilitating structured data management. The NV24C16LV includes built-in write protection mechanisms, such as hardware and software write enable/disable functions, ensuring data integrity during critical operations. The device offers robust endurance of up to 1 million write cycles and data retention of up to 100 years at 25°C, making it ideal for long-term storage applications. Its industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C ensures reliable performance across diverse environmental conditions. Additionally, the NV24C16LV incorporates a self-timed write cycle, eliminating the need for external timing control and simplifying system design. It is commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial instrumentation, and medical devices where non-volatile memory is required for configuration data, calibration values, or user settings. The package options include a compact 8-pin DIP and SOIC form factors, supporting surface-mount and through-hole mounting methods for flexible PCB layout strategies. With its low power consumption, high reliability, and ease of use, the NV24C16LV provides an efficient solution for applications demanding durable, low-cost, and space-saving non-volatile memory storage.
