AT24C16C-SSHM-T
Overview
The AT24C16C-SSHM-T is a 16-Kbit serial I2C EEPROM organized as 2048 words of 8 bits each. It is designed for low-power and low-voltage applications, operating across a wide range from 1.7V to 5.5V. This high-reliability non-volatile memory is a common choice for storing configuration data and user settings in space-constrained embedded systems.
Why Choose This Part
This EEPROM offers excellent electrical robustness with integrated Schmitt Trigger inputs and noise suppression for clean I2C communication. It features a self-timed write cycle and a dedicated Write Protect pin for hardware-based data protection. The part is rated for high reliability with a 100-year data retention period and a wide operating temperature range of -40C to +85C.
Applications
Getting Started
To integrate this part, connect the SDA and SCL lines to your MCU's I2C bus with appropriate pull-up resistors and tie the WP pin to GND for normal write operations. Most standard I2C libraries (such as Wire for Arduino or Microchip's MCC) can address the device using the 7-bit peripheral address. Reference the datasheet for page write timing requirements, as the self-timed cycle typically requires a delay before subsequent writes.
