Product details
Overview
AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 16-kbit I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with 2048 × 8-bit organization, 2.7V to 5.5V supply range, 400 kHz max clock rate at 2.7V, and 128-page × 16-byte write architecture. It serves as nonvolatile configuration storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules requiring robust data retention and hardware write protection.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 datasheet, AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 pinout, AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 application, or AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-bus device addressing (A0–A2 NC), WP-enabled hardware lock, 5 ms max self-timed write cycle, and automotive-grade SOIC-8 packaging compatible with industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 implements a two-wire I²C interface with open-drain SDA/SCL pins, Schmitt-triggered inputs for noise immunity, and bi-directional data transfer protocol compliant with standard I²C timing. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random-address, and sequential read modes.
Unlike smaller family members, the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 omits A0–A2 device address pins-limiting bus placement to one device per I²C segment-and uses an 11-bit word address for 2048-word addressing. Write protection is enforced via the WP pin tied to VCC, locking full 16K array writes while permitting reads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16 Kbit (2048 × 8 bits), enabling storage of firmware calibration tables or system configuration parameters in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| I²C Clock Rate | 400 kHz at 2.7V - enables fast page writes (up to 16 bytes) and reduces host MCU overhead during bulk updates. |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - defines minimum interval between write commands; impacts real-time logging latency. |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - ensures reliable field operation over 10+ years in moderate-update applications like metering or sensor calibration. |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - guarantees long-term integrity of stored settings without battery backup. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telemetry nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free/halogen-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | No-connect (NC) | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected - eliminates external address resistor networks and simplifies PCB layout. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SDA/SCL lines. |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm for stable I²C communication. |
| WP | Hardware write protect | Logic-high (VCC) disables all writes to entire 16K array; grounded for normal read/write - prevents accidental firmware corruption during power-up transients. |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Positive-edge sampled clock; requires external pull-up (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) to VCC; rise/fall time ≤1 µs at 400 kHz. |
| SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O | Open-drain output; shared across multiple I²C devices; same pull-up as SCL; supports multi-master arbitration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin disables writes to full 16K array when high - eliminates software-only vulnerabilities in safety-critical systems. |
| Page Write Capability | 16-byte page writes reduce I²C transaction count by up to 94% vs. byte writes - critical for minimizing bus occupancy in real-time control loops. |
| Noise-Immune Inputs | Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA with 100 ns noise suppression - maintains reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
| Low-Power Standby | 4.0 µA max standby current at 2.7V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools or wireless sensor nodes. |
| Extended Temperature Range | Rated −40°C to +85°C - validated for deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments such as HVAC controllers or solar inverters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics M24C16-WMN6TP | Same 16K size, 2.5–5.5V range, but rated only to +85°C (not extended temp); WP pin functional but lacks A0–A2 NC confirmation in datasheet. | Not qualified for extended-temp industrial use; suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics where cost is primary. | Select if operating temperature stays below +85°C and RoHS-6 compliance is sufficient without halogen-free requirement. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C16WI-GT3 | Identical 16K/2048×8 organization, 2.5–5.5V, 400 kHz, and SOIC-8 package; WP pin behavior matches; endurance rated at 1M cycles. | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation - exceeds AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7's +85°C rating; preferred for under-hood automotive use. | Choose when extended temperature support beyond +85°C is required, especially in engine bay or powertrain subsystems. |
Compared with AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7, M24C16-WMN6TP offers lower cost but reduced thermal qualification, while CAT24C16WI-GT3 provides broader temperature coverage at comparable price - making it ideal for harsh-environment upgrades without layout change.

FAQ
What is the function of the A0, A1, and A2 pins on the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7?
The A0, A1, and A2 pins on the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 are no-connect (NC) terminals - they are not bonded internally and must remain unconnected. This design eliminates device address conflicts on the I²C bus, restricting the bus to a single AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 instance, which simplifies system-level addressing logic and avoids arbitration errors in fixed-function applications.
Does the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 support 1.8V operation?
No, the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 is explicitly rated for 2.7V to 5.5V operation only. The "-2.7" suffix denotes its low-voltage variant within the 2.7V range; 1.8V-compatible versions carry the "-1.8" suffix (e.g., AT24C16AN-10SI-1.8). Using AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 below 2.7V may result in unreliable I²C communication or failed write cycles.
How does the Write Protect (WP) pin behave on the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7?
On the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7, the WP pin enables full-array hardware write protection when pulled high to VCC - blocking all write operations to the entire 16K memory while allowing unrestricted reads. When grounded, normal read/write functionality resumes. This behavior is confirmed in the device's WP Pin Status table and applies exclusively to the AT24C16A variant.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 at 2.7V?
The AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 400 kHz when operated at 2.7V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table. This rate is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and enables efficient 16-byte page writes with minimal host MCU intervention.
Is the AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 qualified for automotive applications?
The AT24C16AN-10SI-2.7 is automotive-grade qualified per its "N" suffix and extended temperature option documentation, supporting operation from −40°C to +85°C. While not AEC-Q100 certified out-of-box, its construction, testing, and qualification align with automotive subsystem requirements for body electronics and infotainment - verification per AEC-Q100 remains customer-responsible.
