Overview
The 24LC16BT-I/OT is a 16 Kbit I²C serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) produced by Microchip Technology. This device is organized as eight blocks of 256 x 8-bit memory and features a 2-wire serial interface compatible with the I²C protocol. The low-voltage design allows operation down to 2.5V, with standby and active currents of only 1µA and 1mA, respectively. The EEPROM also includes a page write capability for up to 16 bytes of data and supports clock frequencies of 100kHz and 400kHz.
