Overview

The M24C16-RMN6TP is a 16-Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 2048 x 8 bits, utilizing the I2C interface for data communication. It supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V and operates at clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. This non-volatile memory is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package, making it suitable for compact electronic assemblies requiring low power consumption.

Why Choose This Part

This component features a very low standby current of 1 microamp, making it ideal for energy-efficient designs. It offers high reliability with an industry-standard I2C interface that functions across a broad 1.8V to 5.5V range. The SO8N package provides a standard footprint that is easily integrated into high-volume surface-mount production lines.
