Overview
The CAT24C16YI-GT3 is a 16-Kb CMOS serial EEPROM device produced by onsemi. It is organized internally as 128 pages, each containing 16 bytes. This device supports both the Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) I2C protocol, making it versatile for various applications. The EEPROM allows data to be written by loading 1 to 16 contiguous bytes into a Page Write Buffer and then writing all data to non-volatile memory in one internal write cycle. Data is read by providing a starting address and then shifting out data serially while automatically incrementing the internal address count.
