24FC16HT-E/OT EEPROM Memory IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 24FC16HT-E/OT is a 16Kbit non-volatile EEPROM memory integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology. This device operates via I2C interface at 1 MHz clock frequency with 450 ns access time, housed in a SOT-23-5 surface mount package. The part is currently in active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across memory capacity, interface protocol, voltage specifications, temperature range, and physical packaging. Identifying qualified substitutes ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity while maintaining functional compatibility.
