Product details
Overview
24AA16T-I/MNY from Microchip Technology Inc. is a 16-Kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM organized as eight 256 × 8-bit blocks, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V with 400 kHz max clock frequency (100 kHz below 2.5V), 1 μA standby current, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features hardware write-protection via the WP pin and is packaged in an 8-lead DFN (MNY) with exposed pad.
For engineers reviewing the 24AA16T-I/MNY datasheet, 24AA16T-I/MNY pinout, 24AA16T-I/MNY application, or 24AA16T-I/MNY equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation down to 1.7V, page-write capability (16-byte buffer), Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, self-timed erase/write cycle (≤5 ms), and RoHS-compliant industrial-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The 24AA16T-I/MNY functions as an I²C slave device with fixed 4-bit control code '1010' and 3-bit block-select addressing, supporting up to eight 256-word memory blocks. Its internal Address Pointer auto-increments during sequential reads and page writes, enabling efficient burst access within a 16-byte page boundary.
It implements open-drain SDA/SCL interfaces with integrated Schmitt triggers and output slope control to suppress ground bounce and noise spikes. Write protection is implemented via a dedicated WP pin tied to VCC (full-array lockout) or VSS (enabled), independent of I²C commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16 Kbit (2048 × 8), organized as eight 256-word blocks for selective block addressing |
| VCC Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V/5V systems without level-shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 400 kHz (≥2.5V); 100 kHz (1.7V ≤ VCC < 2.5V) - ensures timing compliance across supply voltages |
| Page Write Buffer | 16 bytes - reduces write overhead by batching up to 16 bytes per Stop-initiated cycle |
| Write Cycle Time | ≤5 ms (self-timed) - eliminates need for external delay polling except during ACK polling |
| Data Retention | >200 years - validated at 85°C, supports long-life embedded deployments |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/write cycles - specified at 25°C/5.5V, page-mode operation |
Pinout & Package
24AA16T-I/MNY is housed in an 8-lead DFN package (MNY designation), 2 mm × 3 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad (recommended to be connected to VSS for thermal and EMI performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; exposed pad connection recommended |
| WP | Hardware write-protect input | Logic-high (VCC) disables all writes to entire memory array; no software override |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Open-drain compatible; requires external pull-up; synchronizes all I²C transfers |
| SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O | Open-drain; shared bus line requiring pull-up; carries address, data, and ACK/NACK |
| VCC | Power supply | Supports 1.7V–5.5V operation; powers EEPROM core, logic, and HV generator |
| A0, A1, A2 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC with no functional impact |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Ensures robust noise immunity on SCL/SDA with ≥50 mV hysteresis (0.05×VCC) |
| Output slope control | Prevents ground bounce during SDA transitions, critical for mixed-signal PCB layouts |
| I²C compatibility | Fully compliant with standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C protocol |
| 16-byte page write | Reduces firmware overhead and bus occupancy vs. byte-write; improves system throughput |
| ESD protection | >4 kV HBM - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, suitable for handling in non-ESD-controlled environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24LC16B-I/MNY | Requires minimum 2.5V VCC; no 1.7V operation; same 400 kHz speed and package | Not suitable for 1.8V systems; otherwise functionally identical in I²C protocol and pinout | Select only if system VCC ≥2.5V and legacy qualification suffices |
| 24AA16T-I/MS | Same electrical specs, but in 8-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) | Requires PCB layout change; offers better thermal dissipation than DFN for high-ambient designs | Choose when MSOP footprint is preferred for reworkability or thermal management |
Compared with 24LC16B-I/MNY, the 24AA16T-I/MNY enables lower-voltage operation critical for battery-powered devices; compared with 24AA16T-I/MS, it offers smaller footprint and improved thermal coupling via exposed pad-both alternatives retain identical I²C functionality and memory architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the 24AA16T-I/MNY?
The 24AA16T-I/MNY supports up to 400 kHz when VCC ≥2.5V, and 100 kHz when VCC is between 1.7V and 2.5V. This dual-speed capability ensures interoperability across 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V I²C buses without external clock dividers or protocol translation.
Does the 24AA16T-I/MNY require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the 24AA16T-I/MNY uses open-drain SDA and SCL pins and requires external pull-up resistors. Typical values are 10 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2 kΩ for 400 kHz, and 1 kΩ for 1 MHz (though 24AA16T-I/MNY does not support 1 MHz). Pull-ups must connect to the same VCC domain as the 24AA16T-I/MNY.
How does hardware write-protection work on the 24AA16T-I/MNY?
When the WP pin of the 24AA16T-I/MNY is tied to VCC, all write operations (byte and page) to the full 2048-byte memory array are inhibited; read operations remain fully functional. Tying WP to VSS enables normal read/write access. No I²C command can override this hardware lock.
Can the 24AA16T-I/MNY be used in automotive applications?
The 24AA16T-I/MNY is rated for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and is RoHS-compliant. While not AEC-Q100 qualified itself, the pin-compatible 24AA16T-E/MNY (extended temp) and automotive-grade variants (e.g., 24AA16T-I/SN with AEC-Q100) are available. For under-hood use, select the AEC-Q100 qualified version.
What is the purpose of the A0, A1, and A2 pins on the 24AA16T-I/MNY?
The A0, A1, and A2 pins on the 24AA16T-I/MNY are not internally connected and serve no functional role. They may be left floating or tied to VSS/VCC without affecting operation - unlike higher-density EEPROMs, this device uses only the fixed '1010' control code and block-select bits for addressing.
